Obviously I don't want to be a 2000rpm at 80mph in 6th with the amount of torque this car makes. An American engine is a different story...pushes you into the seats at any RPM

If a G35 did 3200rpm at 80, that's way too many rpms. A Honda 3.5L with 5 speed auto on the Pilot or Accord does 2600-2700 at 80. This car is going to do about 3100 at 80 with the 3.727 f/d. |

then it would take quite an effort from an idiot to get it into gear...
My truck doesn't have a lock out but the spring on the gate to get to reverse or low is VERY heavy. So much so I usually just slap it over. |

Trunk space shouldn't be a problem for you! I mean, if you can fold down the back seats and fit a full set of tires, toolbox, jack, and a helmet in the back... that's got some decent space. Right?

My mum's mazda 6 has the reverse gear next to first but you push the gearstick down to get into reverse. doesnt take much to get used to.

Grrr... you and your imperial units!
Fortunately google is very helpful with the conversions. OK, 198 litres is on the small side but manageable if you carry at most one passenger. Quote:
Fortunately, one can't make such mistakes when driving the 86. I'd have to remember I don't have 6 gears when going back to the Auris, though |
