Example: The revs on my Corolla are around 3500 in 6th going 80mph too. The shift points are close to keep the revs high (and thus the power high), so really the 6th gear is only provided to make up for that.

Feels like I could use a 6th gear at highway speeds, but not needing to downshift to hit boost is nice.

woot!

Ahhh, boost is great. I love not having to downshift on the freeway in my truck.

Thats the downside of the XRS... you have to drive it like you stole it to reach the power band.

Lyrics are highly overrated.

I thought you'd have a car like this:

Looks like we're not going down after all, so nevermind.

thats like if Jay Z's car and Elton John's car had a baby together.

I'm proud of my life and the things that I have done, proud of myself and the loner I've become.
