For what it’s worth, I wouldn’t be in 3rd gear at 20mph in a modern turbocharged car.
For my car, 20mph is roughly 2500pm in 2nd and 1700rpm in 3rd. I don’t like to live below 2000rpm because I don’t get spooled up that low.
Comment on Wales’s 20mph speed limit has cut road deaths. Why is there still even a debate?
Person264@lemmings.world 1 week agoHow old are the cars you’re thinking of that don’t like going 20mph? Do you mean they are more twitchy and will accelerate too easily even in 3rd gear?

I retired my 2003 VW last year after 15 years of service (F fallen comrade) but it couldn’t do 20mph in 3rd, only in 2nd.
