I've never ever driven something with that much torque before and from that low, so this is going to be a new experience. I didn't even test drive the car before I bought one, oh the excitement from just looking at paper figures haha.

What do they sit on at 100km/h in 6th? My Fiesta sits on 3000 RPM in 5th.
Interesting about the short shift, as my Fiesta doesn't start moving along with haste before 4000 RPM, its sweet spot is between 4000-6000 RPM, thats the difference between petrol and diesel I suppose, but hey I have 6 gears so thats no problem.

the cruze sits @1250rpm at 120kph ..
it working torque is 1100~1950rpm by feel only..alltho the book says differant.
