i think for a manual. the key thing is a short 1st gear and a v.tall overdrive.
5 gears is probably ideal. 6 is ok, but on my 6 speed, because its close ratio i tend to skip shift. I wouldnt want a 7+ spd manual.

actually if my current 5spd on my other car, if it have an extra super overdrive above the existing 5 ratios, that'd be ok
