I definitely beat on this motor more than I did my mazdaspeed6. Just to get it to move similarly in traffic I tend to get it up to 6k rpm in 1st otherwise I'll hit that torque dip in 2nd.

That's not necessarily a bad thing. It's just a different style of driving. The thing really moves when you hit those upper rpm. I swear this car rewards abuse.
