I remember when manual cars had 4 gears and automatics had just 3.
Now we are finding 5 speed gearboxes are the norm and many cars are now coming out with 6 speed gearboxes. Even the humble automatic has seen an increase in the number of available gears.
How many gears do we really need? Do you wish you had an extra gear in your car?
I think mine is crying out for a 6th gear, on the motorway in 5th I am always checking the gearstick that I haven't left it in 4th because it just pulls so well.
