Which gear do you like??

Which gear do you like the most? I have the biggest grin when I'm in 3rd gear. IMO its perfect, not too short not too long. What about you?

I spend most of my time on the interstate, so 3rd is great for messing around. I think I've used 5th all of once in this car.

+1
I know the ratios are different but drop it to 3rd on the highway going 60-80 and hold on.

3rd seems to be the most fun, be it the 3/step, my truck, or my cycle.

3rd is a good gear overall, but I voted 2nd. I like to be in 2nd at around 3-3.1K and give it gas.

What happened to the little shifter smiley?

Edit: Nevermind, overlooked it.

Coming from a car that was all 2nd gear, I love the fact that this one pulls so hard in 3rd. 60-100 is always sweeter than 20-60. Well, unless it means you die or get arrested.

I voted 3rd. It looks like 5th is getting no love at all. Come on! "Fifth Gear" -- it even has its own show!
