Default M6 guys, which gear do you use the LEAST?

Ok, just bored. Which gear do you use the least.

Mine is 5th gear. I almost always just go from 4th to 6th

6th.
The lower gears, your exhaust notes just sound much better. Nice to hear the car sing.

Same here, almost never use 5th gear. Of course with the lousy traffic around here, I'm lucky to get out of 3rd

Haha someone voted for 1st gear being the least used........

I think these results are fake with guys just voting for anything to throw it off....

I'd have to say 5th. I spend much of my time in heavy traffic. I use 6th only if I'm on the freeway for a long drive.

I drive mostly highway, and almost always use 6th gear. Just not much need for 5th.
