Getting a bit off topic, but I'm rather surprised people don't complain about the gearing in my current MX-5. I've heard some people just drive around in 5th or even 4th gear on the highway. I guess they don't like shifting. The final drive (rear ratio) is 2.86, and it's a 1.5L. It's rare I encounter a car where I wouldn't choose taller gearing.
