6th in an S, I need a 7th

[MCSCHB]

Anybody else out there feel like they need a 7th gear in the current S??

Cruising I get to 50mph and keep wanting to change gear again

That said its a great box for fun on them windy roads and I love the way 6th still has some oomph

[Damo]

Yeah this has been said quite a lot. I'd probaby need an 8th now

6th at 50.... sounds like lugging to me.... IMHO, at 50 you should be no more that 4th (probably 3rd). Rev that baby... 4 bangers love it .

I think if there was a 7th the car would struggle to hold it on anything but a flat road

I like the current choices/ratios.

dont be too greedy think of us poor cooper owners with just five gears

I'll want a 7th when I run out of revs in 6th!

That's your guy's fault.

Bet you wish you had a Supercharger too!? Along with a center exhaust and bonnet scoop.

Think of me in my little 1983 Mini Mayfair...

That's only got 4 gears!!

Cruising down the motorway..75-80mph, no probs. Does get a bit noisy though

Ah well my first 5-geared car coming next saturday
