Default EP3 Question

How does it feel shifting gears with the shifter mounted on the dash in the EP3?

yeah you dont really have to worry about the person in the passenger seat having their legs wide open and then banging into their knee's going into fifth gear.

the shifter location is great!

very short distance between the steering wheel and the shifter.

i've driven my dad's 00 si and it feels like i have to stretch to reach the shifter.

its also a nice conversation starter.
