I went to test drive a civic si yesterday

dang...

it feels so small and cramped.. even though it looks pretty big.

The "power" is there, the response is there..

But I just don't like that dash... it seems so long and huge, I really don't like that long long dash look.. like it extends forever.

The shifter feels awesome though, just click click

Plus, it feels like I'm sitting way too high in the car.

Those bucket seats in the teggie has messed it up for me, for every other car I'll ever drive.  Every other car just feels like I'm sitting high.

I wonder if there's stock bucket seats for the Civic Si's.

You're just not used to the new dashes.  My first time I thought the same about the dash, but I'm used to them now.  I actually like them a lot.  I am thinking about a Civic SI or FRS.  Still debating between the two.  Next year will probably bring a new turbo SI and STI BRZ/FRS so I might wait.  Even the Mazdaspeed 3 would be on my list if it came back out.

The BRZ/FRS will not see factory FI, just suspension and aero bits that anyone can add themselves. Best bet for dollar would be the Civic type R, Golf R, Focus RS, or the WRX. I own an FRS, and it doesn't have neck snapping torque and isn't quite that fast in 2015 standards. It is however, fun to drive on backroads or autocross courses. I haven't done road courses/tracks, but it's a fun drive if you're more concerned about the experience and feel rather than flat out power.
