CRV Auto Shift Lever Question...

Hello all -

I'm considering the Honda CRV (either new or late-model used), but have a
question about its oddly-mounted shift lever (I will be shopping for an
automatic transmission).

Does it operate like a standard steering-column mounted shifter (which you
generally have to "depress", move to the next position, then "release" to lock
it in place...
    -or-
Does it work like most floor-mounted auto shift levers, which can be freely
moved between the "Drive" and "Neutral" positions?

In other words, if you're driving along, coming to a stop, and you want to go
from "Drive" to "Neutral", can you just nudge it into neutral (and back to
drive) with a simple "push", rather than a "depress/move/lock" movement?

Believe it or not, that's a "car breaker" for me. If it doesn't work like a
floor-mounted lever, I'm not interested in the vehicle, and will shop for
something else that _does_ have a standard floor-mount auto shifter.

Thanks,
- John

It works a bit different. You don't press any buttons to move it, just press
the brake pedal and then shift. It moves freely between neutral and drive.
You have to nudge it a little bit to move it from Park.
