I find it's gears to be really really long and to get through all the gears 1-2-3-4-5-6 and not be over the speed limit (generally 80kph), I have to shift before 3000rpm!

My honest opinion, the car feels flat after launching. There is no 'kick' feeling which is probably due to the linear power delivery after hitting max torque. I hope that a JB4 tune will fix this and make the car more exciting to drive!
on the other hand, going to 3.46 or shorter would lead to melting tyres under acceleration in 1-2 haha.

yeah and to keep it below 3000rpm, you can't push the throttle very far either.

a tune definitely makes them a lot more enjoyable!
