Type R top gear
I've got my heart set on a 2 door Impreza and know that the gearbox has really short ratios in the type r. What sort of revs does a type r sit at on the motorway at 70-80mph. Is it a real pain to live with?

The Type-R was built for racing as quick from point A-B it was not designed to be a motorway cruiser. Remove things like gear ratios removes part of its Soul. If your looking to do allot of motorway miles and the car is to be your daily look at something else as all the gears are manic on them.

I won't be using it much on the motorway, it'll be an a and B road car. I was just wondering really as I've seen the top speed of the type r listed as anything from 120 to nearly 150 which would obviously mean a large difference in the revs at motorway cruising speed
