I don't know if its the clunky 986 shifter or that 90% of my mileage is highway,
but I RARELY downshift anymore. Maybe one average downshift for each trip up to sixth gear...mmmm more like one downshift for two trips to 6th.

With my old Miata and the tight *snick snick* gear box I must have averaged one downshift for every upshift. Closest thing to a go kart for very little money. No need to drop $$$ on an Elise. Great fun matching revs in that car. I loved the way the car would shake a little when you revved it allot.
