6mt RPM
I just got back from the Acura ILX ride and drive event in Philly. I drove both manual and automatic versions. As I was driving the manual, I noticed the rpm's in 6th gear doing about 80 was well above 3,000. To me that's awful high. My question is, do the 6mt TL's tach as high in 6th gear on the highway? My 07 auto TL is about 2,200 at 80. Thanks.

I'm looking to replace my 07 next year sometime. I'm on the fence about getting a manual or auto. I drive alot of highway and I like a nice low rpm while highway driving.

The TL engine revs pretty low by Honda standard... so naturally it will rev lower on the highway. The ILX engine is made to rev... 80 mph at over 3000 rpm sounds about right. It is butter smooth so I wouldn't worry about it.
