I drive it... Not hard, but "with spirit". I shift between 2500 and 3500 in town, but getting onto the highway or blasting up that occasional twisty mountain back road, I stay in it to 5,000 rpm or so to really feel that steady seemingly unending pull. I dearly love those moments! I love the sound it makes beginning at 2800 rpm! But I don't race it and I don't push it very much most of the time.
I almost never use 5th in town. 4th gear feels about perfect for the 2.5 engine at town speeds.
