Which gear is your favorite?
Strictly for the 6MT guys, what is your favorite gear and why?
Mine is 4th; love that feeling of accelerating from 35mph to 90mph on an on-ramp and dropping right into 6th and into traffic.

4th...love the feeling of going WOT from 3rd to 4th. It's when the car feels somewhat fast for me.

For 'passing' it would be 3rd on back roads, 4th highway. They are easy to downshift even for a manual 'noob' like myself and after 4k rpm the car just sings. I try keep it under 3K for economy but it feels good to let her have a nice long drink.

I like 2nd. Used the most during autocross, carry good oversteer in 2nd as well. Downshifts into 2nd are much easier than first and you get nearly as much rear end action.

I enjoy 6th the most, I have this weird fascination with flooring it in to high of a gear. Since I can get it in 6th at 35MPH, I am basically flooring it everywhere haha, its great.

First gear. I love the movement of the arm moving it towards the left and forward.
I love doing it when I wait for pedestrians and they see me doing it. Not that I'm trying to hurry them up, but they seem to walk a tad faster than when I'm in my other auto sedan. |

2nd gear is perfect for those tight hairpins that beg you to apply just a little bit too much throttle so you get that fun little tail wag coming out of the turn.

3rd gear. Why? I can feel my car pull the whole gear til it red lines. Gotta love TRD intake and TRD exhaust.
