The TDI wants you to shift before you are even at 2000 RPM.

I catch myself revving the TDI to 5K and my wife yells at me....
If I had tried to drive my Lancer GTS at the revs I do my FRS (where it WANTS to be at) I would have had engine parts everyplace all the time!
If you have never driven a CVT (continuous variable transmission) as in my wife's RVR give it a try! Freakiest feeling in the world as there are no gears or shift points. You just keep going faster and the revs hardly even move
