Wow...shouida bought a Sentra!

Despite what the manual says I don't think that's good for the motor. I shift where mine is happy.....Usually 4500-5000. 6th only on the highway at 60mph and up..

no matter what car i drive, people will still pass me on the freeway

some years ago, i did drive up to the triple digit speed but those days are behind me.

4500 - 5000 rpm eh?, the manual says i am not supposed to drive over 4000 rpm until the engine has had some mileage.

mine has less than 400 miles on it.
