Default Re: How's 5th on 5-Speed Manual?

It's adequate. I'm downshifting to pass on anything more than a slight grade, but it keeps up just fine on the flats (even towing 3,000 + lbs). I drive pretty aggressive and don't have the patience to wait to build up speed all the time, but my wife drives normal and I don't think I've ever seen her downshift on highway.
