I drove a C4 with it, and what I liked was that it felt heavy and solid in my hand. I remember the saleman commenting that it can be ordered from Porsche.

The price is steep, but what's $800 bucks, when we're talking about a $100k car.

Pull the base of the boot out of the console and then pull the shifter **** upwards.
No tools required.
