When I first got this car, it was babied due to the 1000 mile break in. After that I would rev it, but hardly ever came close to the red line(usually stayed in the 3-5K RPM range). On the freeway I would always cruse in 6th at 65-75. This was cause I was watching the MPG. Now I just don't care much about that anymore. As long as I stay within the 25-30MPG range, I will be happy(while having lots of fun) Now on the freeway I constantly find myself in 4th keeping the rpms high to hear the sweet music the little 2.0L boxer engine makes. This also allows me to punch it for passing and maneuvering in traffic. Anyone else find themselves doing this now?
