It Does. This trans is Nissan MT1, Renault TL4. There are several articles about the gearing being set to reduce drivetrain acoustics.

To add to my first post.

Really happy with the car!

As for the matter of rpm in top gear, I drive the car mostly in town and don't spend that much time on the highway.

As for longer trips, I'll set my speed at the tolerated speed by LEOs ~120kmph, relax and enjoy the ride.

For my need for speed, I have a bike that is much more cost effective than any car in the 20K range ...

On my Spec V, I can cruise at 80MPH at 3,000 rpm on the 6th. In city, I go 6th at 2,000 rpm doing 55MPH. The engine is barely above optimal power but it still goes well.
