Well, Yaris is just as bad to be fair lol. 2800rpm at 60 as well. Sadly, with a transmission swap my car would be at the same revs/mile, so in my eyes they have good gearing! Is it too much to ask that the revs stay below half the rev limit while going the speed limit?

Sad thing is, Fit/Yaris are still being made with those lousy 5 speed transmissions. Hyundai gives you a 6 speed for their cheapest turd-pile. And while the 1NZ is alright, it's been 13 years and we can use some new features and combustion chamber design...Honda just got the balling rolling with their new K and J engines, your turn Toyota.
