Just checking with the community here, but do you find that the 3rd gear is a bit "tall" when compared to the 2nd gear on 6spd manual ?
At least the way I feel it, in order to maintain a decent rate of smooth/enjoyable acceleration, I have to rev up the RPM in 2nd gear to at least about 3500 - 4000 rpm before I shift up to 3rd. If I shift up from 2nd to 3rd around 3000 rpm or less, the car seems to hesitate - or seems to lose responsiveness a bit.
It's not too great for gas mileage to keep the RPM high, but sometimes you just want to enjoy what this car can do !
