The shifter on the dash of the ep's is imo more comfortable then one on the floor/integrated into the console. It's in perfect arms length, and its not right to cut on one until you've driven it because I bet you'd like its placing as well after a test drive

haha but yeah i drove my friends 05 si and love where the shifter is. If you're really driving hard, its closer to the wheel so you can get back on the wheel with both hands after shifting faster.

I'm always in disagreement with Ben, but this time I agree 100%. I have 92 Si and 03 SI, and I can compare the shifters on a daily basis. It takes a few days to get used to it, but you feel uncomfortable coming back to floor shifter after this...
