My opinion, they need a taller 6th gear, top gear RPM on the highway was unnecessarily high.

EDIT:

Ratios
1st - 3.143
2nd - 1.870
3rd - 1.303
4th - 1.054
5th - 0.854
6th - 0.689
Final - 4.11

2550rpm @ 65mph, which isn't egregious , but it's about the same as my MX-5, which is a more dedicated sports car with the same displacement and no hybrid assist. Or, 300rpm higher than the Insight, which had one fewer cylinder.
