Well, you're supposed to shift down before accelerating.



6th to 2nd is a heck of a downshift. It's hard for me to imagine driving around at 30 in 6th, too. The engine drone would be pretty obnoxious.


30 mph (almost 50 km/h) usually works very well on 4th in a 6-gear box, including accelerating, especially TSI engines which have a superb torque already on very low RPMs.
