I think 2nd or 3rd, depending on the car/gear ratios.

3rd gear is best..that means your up to road speed, and it's the most satisfying to shift into. My car may as well not have a 4th gear, I skip it all the time.

1st from a stop of course.

On the highway if I need to drop down and punch it, I go right to 3rd from 6th.

1st. Because wheelspin and smokey goodness.

I'm sorry, but it's faster. And I get enjoyment out of playing with the slapshift.

That too is my favorite gear.

Probably 2. Maybe 3.

1st can be fun depending on how good you start is, but 2 and 3 you really get the full monty going.

2nd gear because that is the autocross/rallycross gear of choice

2, because it's the most fun gear to choose when playing with this guy:

I can't manual, so I wouldn't know otherwise.

The "SL" gear that my Toyota Tercel SR5 had. It was basically a "super low" gear ratio that was only able to engage when the car was in 4WD.

Second.

In my Focus ST second gear is where all the fun starts. First has too much wheel spin to really get going, but rolling into second is where you take off like a rocket, while still flashing the traction control light. Then, leaving second at the end of the freeway on ramp you're already at traffic speeds, and then can assimilate into the group like a normal person. But you know what you just did.

I completely forgot about this thing.

I heart second gear, in most of the cars I've driven it's a good surge of acceleration when you're already moving.

OOOoh. My. God. That's hilarious.

Yeah, or it means you're going around a pretty sharp corner (at least in my car). I have this ridiculous reflex that makes me put the car in 2nd gear when turning on city streets disregarding what gear the car is currently in lol. This means occasionally I will take it out of 2nd get into neutral, then put it back into 2nd. Because I'm a genius!

Haha, not going to lie, I've done something similar.

I need one of these.

Third, because when you get in third you feel the satisfaction of a great "off the line" after 1st getting the car sideways and getting the car sideways again in second.

There's no "Top" gear option. :(

Third, because back roads and track and 8000+ RPM. And racecar.

I like 5th gear. It's smoother than all of the others, including 6th, for whatever reason. I also get some pretty damn good acceleration out of it as long as the RPMs are up over 2000, which they will be at 60 MPH.

My 5th is not even final drive, it's an overdrive. 4th is final drive.
