Trust me my friend short gearing is much better, it makes you shift more and that's why we buy manual transmissions. For example the Porsche GT4 and GT3 have very long gearing, too long, 80mph in second gear, meaning far less shifting required, less fun. SaveTheManuals.
i just want a manual car where 2nd gear tops out at 63mph lmao for my 0-60 times. here in australia we do 0-100 which is 62mph so you always get a rubbish 0-60 time cause you're changing gear an extra time! lol My old mustang ecoboost would do 0-62 in 5.7s but 0-60 was 4.5 lol... 2nd to 3rd in the MT82 is rubbbbbbish
@@HowToHeaven I don't understand, why do you want to own a manual car with extremely tall gearing so you're never changing gears, isn't that the point of owning a manual transmission for the fun of driving, driver involvement driver engagement Switching gears back-and-forth that's why I want shorter gearing in the Toyota gr Corolla cuz I want to be driving the car. What you said in the video makes absolutely no sense to me, if you don't want to be Switching gears often why not just go ahead and get a Volkswagen Golf R with a DSG automatic?
@@dougmaverick3287 It's quite simple, I love driving the car, on the street, where it will spend most of it's life. This is quite different than on the track. Since my use case is on the street, I prefer longer gearing, not by much, but this engine revs so freely that first gear is here and gone and then you redline it! Once you drive it, you'll understand!
@@HowToHeaven my friend I was lucky enough to test drive a gr Corolla today and it's an amazing car, loved everything about it, the shifter is solid the seats are really comfortable too.
I agree with most of what you’ve mentioned. I think Toyota really wanted to cut costs where they could, so this car was attainable by the masses. So if that means giving up power seats, premium materials in the interior, etc., then so be it.
