            on track, third gear for sure. Feels great to downshift, apex, then track out and roll on throttle.

                Coming back after a spirited drive I wish I would have voted 3rd. 3rd is good.

                    third. I do a lot of street driving and I leave it in third and just cruise high in the rpms like a douche bag. sounds awesome, can't help it.

                    and it's of course the most used gear in (most) canyons. gotta love it.

                            not gonna lie, I do the same. When I first got the car I would coast whenever possible to conserve gas. Oh how times have changed...

                                                            You actually waste more gas coasting(idling) than cruising with the car in gear. :)
