The guy who said 3k is somewhat mistaken, it's 2600-2700rpm. So low rpms compared to a lot of sports cars, but a good deal higher than these days' economy cars that really squeeze a lot of mpg out. If you go for displacement x revs, you'll see it's in theory around the same power available in 6th gear as your typical 2ZZ powered car but the car is heavier than most 2ZZ powered cars so it might be sluggish on the highway for some people's tastes.

(IMHO, and I say this way too often, but if you have good passing power in the last gear on an NA engine, and your car isn't a complete featherweight, the gearing is wrong :P)
