Using 4500 as the shift point, the speed in 1st/2nd/3rd is 1st - 27mph/2nd - 44mph/3rd - 66 mph.

Does the above speed in gears look correct?
If so, do you find 1st and 2nd a bit too 'tall' for the Boxster to be used alot in the city?
Numbers look about right but the rpm range from about 2.5k-4.5k (especially above 3k) offers solid acceleration. Driving at 2k is not a problem.

In short, I've never felt the gearing was too tall for city driving.
