Pixel, yes, the two litre and aboe HDi's all have very high fifth gears. Mines at just over 70mph at 2000rpm. Diesels alway have long legs to make up for the smaller useable rev range.
I would not be happy with a 2000rpm idle - I'd be shredding brake pads on a weekly basis. And getting through fuel at a very impressive rate.
