Anyone that has driven one of these cars, Do any of you feel that this is just the worst possible gear choice for these cars?
I have had this car since September I daily drive it. (Even in Edmonton winters, probably the easiest winter driving vehicle I have ever had.)
And in that time I feel like 3.31 is perfect. 1st is useless, you get going and then switch gears. to 2nd and driving around town I am either in 5th and wanting to switch to 6th but 6th lugs the engine so hard that if I want to pass I need to step down to 5th.
My buddy has a 2017 S550 with 3.31's and he wishes he had the 3.73's. Meanwhile I envy the fact he has more usable gear on the street.
Thoughts?
