For the shift linkage, I imagine there's a simple way to attach it with the usual cables and whatever (I think FWD cars are all cable actuated shift linkages?), and then you'd just need to get used to the shift pattern being flipped around? Someone tell me if I'm overlooking something.

IMO the most important feature of midengined layout is the shorter front lets you keep the overall car length shorter with an equal length tail. Adding a boattail to a front engine car makes it awkwardly long. The need for side intakes and venting to the wake reduces drag slightly too.
