This is great, everyone is giving top reviews and experiences, its going to be good, I live about 10 minutes away from a mountain, torque test, the Fez had trouble getting up there if you where under 4000 RPM in any gear. I also do about 95km of freeway work a day to and from work with some hills here and there.

I've never ever driven something with that much torque before and from that low, so this is going to be a new experience. I didn't even test drive the car before I bought one, oh the excitement from just looking at paper figures haha.

What do they sit on at 100km/h in 6th? My Fiesta sits on 3000 RPM in 5th.

Interesting about the short shift, as my Fiesta doesn't start moving along with haste before 4000 RPM, its sweet spot is between 4000-6000 RPM, thats the difference between petrol and diesel I suppose, but hey I have 6 gears so thats no problem.
