Fulcrum said:Quite a few cars have short gearing for performance reasons, with no sixth gear it can be a bit of a pain. 4k revs /70mph @5th gear is common in Hondas for obvious reasons
My 172 does 82mph @4k and it doesnt bother me too much. Some 6 speed boxes like the punto only have A 6th gear to lower revs on the motorway.
