How can you guy's shift a gas at 2k??? If I drive my diesel and I shift at 2k it's super slow and with a gas, having less torque on the low end, it must be worse. When driving eco I shift at 2.5k, but mostly I shift at 3.5k. I find that that is the place where it goes well but you don't beat the shit out of it :D

Funny to see that people need to learn how to drive MT... Btw. if you want to overtake, and your engine is warmed up, you can shift just right before the red area in the tachometer. Likely on the hills...
I shift my Yaris Diesel between 2,5k and 3k normally, while revving to 3,5k overtaking

Hey I am not sure what you are saying by red area. Are are talking about the Redline? When i go up hill even on steep hills i dont really rev it that hill. I am really good with uphill starts.
