Is it that difficult to downshift?
I find the gear ratios in my Civic to be unacceptable short (high rpm). I usually start in 2nd gear. I doubt even a tall first gear would be worst than that.
Maybe I'm not a "normal human", but I would prefer an occasional downshift over being forced to run at buzzy high rpm all the time.
