Thanks for the review!
I feel the same way about the cockpit. I think Honda made a huge leap in their willingness to push interior design with the Civic, and the SI sedan looks quite nice from the driver's seat. I much prefer the less than perfect, yet cool solution they came up with, as oppoosed to a more traditional approach, which would have probably yielded boring results.
I seriously considered the Civic SI. The only thing that stopped me was the manual transmission. Much as I love rowing gears, the reality of West LA traffic made me bend twoards the Accord Coupe, which gave me much of what I was looking for in the SI, but
with leather and
without the requirement to manually shift.
If Honda had a DSG / SMG type transmssion I might have thought twice.
