I guess it's designed for B road fun rather than motorway munching! I can't change to 6th in my diesel until I've passed 50mph, at 70 it's still below 2000rpm! Does mean a lot of gearchanges on B roads though!66Mustang said:
Strangely in my current, modern, car it is very hard to speed on the motorway without knowing it. The car has 6 gears but you can very comfortably be in 6th gear at 40mph - in fact it tells you to change to 6th at about 38-39mph if driving casually. What this means is by 70mph it's actually revving quite a bit so it is not hard to keep your speed down to 70. I don't really know why they geared it like that, I would have thought you could gear 6th gear a bit "longer" (I think that's the word for it) so you only change up to 6th at maybe 60mph+ for better fuel economy on the motorway. I'm sure they did their research, though, and the car is very economical anyway.

True! Though, on the B roads I find in in 3rd-4th most of the time even though it sometimes wants me to change up hehehe
