'By fourth you are breaking every speed limit in the world and fifth is just a few mph away raising the issue of "what's the point of fifth anyway"? It's too tall for low speed acceleration and you're traveling too fast to use it flat out after fourth, so the net effect is that it never gets used. The acceleration fix is satiated by first through fourth and then you jump to sixth for cruising'
I've always thought this too
I think 5th is the least used gear - when I do use it I think I'm in 3rd

Blimey, that's a blast from the past. I remember reading that when I was looking for my first S2000 back in 2002.
And sending it to a friend who had just bought a TT roadster

Well worth a read. Cheers.
"The S2000 on the other hand is a car that was created for the single purpose of socially irresponsible driving, a dream car for the true enthusiast. After getting out of the S2000 every other car feels heavy, cumbersome, imprecise, untrustworthy and just plain less fun."
I couldn't agree more

I bought an mx5 & kept the coop - so now I have 2 cars to sell. I might wait till next year now, given the bloody weather.
