Your favorite gear?

So that's the question.

For me, 3rd, it picks up the car so nicely!

2nd, due to the fact it lets me almost idle at a crawl in congested traffic. And its right after the ludicrously short 1st gear.

Tie between second and third. Third because I can run it up to 65 for on-ramps, and Second because I can crawl along following traffic.

And the sound it makes in third at 5700 is soooooo awesome....

I like them all depending on what speed I'm going.



Edit: Even reverse comes in handy at times.

Neutral - INSANE fuel economy - JK

I'd probably have to say 3rd because it's just enough of a downshift for passing someone going 55mph.

My GS-R's happy gear was 2nd. I'd be at redline in the Integra in 2nd gear just past 62mph.

Third gear or second gear for me. I do most of my overtaking there. Second is a little short though.

5th. Though I wish 4th and 5th were taller like they were on my Element. I understand the gears need to be closer together cause of the low TQ but in 4th and 5th, that shouldn't be a concern.
