Funny, because 3000 rpm is right where I tend to keep the engine. Seems plenty responsive from that point upwards.

To the OP, with a shift point of 5-5500rpm, and a desire to cruise at 3000 rpm during most of my in-town driving, I find both 3rd and 5th to be the odd gears out and hence rarely visited. I would have preferred that this car had a 5 speed.
