My least favorite shift is putting the S into gear after I park and turn it off.

Not sure why anyone would do 2-1 shifts. The lowest I've ever downshifted on any car is 2nd gear.

IMO the 5th gear on this car stock is pretty useless or at least doesn't get all the lovin' the other gears get. By the time I get to 4th, I'm already at speed and just go to 6th to cruise. So I'd say 4-5 is my least favorite.

For those really tight, uphill hairpins Seriously though, as long as you can keep the revs high enough in 2nd, I see no reason to waste the time downshifting to 1st, then having to shift back to 2nd

1-2. About 5% of the time I think I'm in gear, and then it pops out and I'm in neutral.

4th to 5th sucks

Any downshift is good, just another chance to heel-toe revmatch
