This guy is complaining about gear ratios and ignoring the fact that it is a gift from god that they are even offering a manual.
However, driving in 3rd is really impractical. 4th gear was really my "go to" gear. It was good to cruise, it was good to accelerate, it didn't drone at 55 mph too badly.
I guarantee you it's not as bad as the gentleman above is making it out to be. This is going to be an amazing car to drive in 6MT and I can't wait! |
If people applaud the 718 GT4, despite having a very long 2nd gear, I'm sure BMW will be fine with their slightly longer 3rd gear.
Again, if you want to ultimate driving experience, the Miata has it all. Great gearing, great manual experience, affordable as a toy and hell of a lot of fun. Keep in mind, a lot of the fun results from absolutely getting on it, with the ability to rev out every single gear and still staying within the speed limits.
