Haha! I was careful taking that picture as it was 11pm at night coming home from the gym and it was a good 3 mile straight away.

Is it because mine isn't lowered ?

It's cause you're in Canada!

I don't have EDC so I just switch it over to Steptronic mode and mine displays M1-M8

And I paid (almost) the same money as you guys, not a great "per gear" return on my money at all.

I'm sure they are though haven't really looked at the specs. I remember looking at specifications for some of my previous cars where number of gears was, either identical or off by one (can't really remember to be honest) and ratios are usually different between the two, in this case I'm sure it's very different.

It's upsetting they stopped making them, but that's what the market dictates for manufactures. I get that I'm in minority, people just don't buy this type of car with manual transmission.... or any these days.

I'm pretty sure that with a 6spd, you wouldn't be cruising at 45 in 5th gear like we do in comfort..
