Which cars use a steering column gearshift?

I have an injury to my hand and find my Mercedes-Benz great to drive, as it has the gear changer on the steering column. I want to update my car but have been really unhappy with the Mercedes-Benz dealer customer service. Do any other makes of car have a gear changer on the steering column?

Mercedes-Benz is one of the last brands to have a column shift automatic gear selector. You'll also find this on Rolls-Royces still to this day, though. Other than that, it's only electric cars such as the BMW i3 and the Volkswagen ID models/Skoda Enyaq/Cupra Born that have a column shift.
