Is it just me or do others really dislike the T-handle on the gearstick?

I would much prefer a proper knob - does anyone provide an after-market knob for the Niro that incorporates the sport switch so that the T shaped handle could be replaced with a knob?

Actually I meant the button for moving between PDNR etc - not 'sport switch' !

I actually like the gearstick - looks much better than the little one you get in a Toyota

The T handle has been pretty much standard on automatics for years; and Kia want to retain traditional styling and approach rather than go down the futuristic road (hah). So I'm not surprised they've used a T handle here.
