[QUOTE="Mortenk, post: 1412395, member: 91362"] It's not so much that you need six gears - it's the lower RPM in top gear that makes the 2016+ better IMO. I would actually love five gears only on my 2016 ES, but not at the expense of higher RPMs at cruising speed. 2016+ will give you less vibrations, a better fuel economy, and a very nice clutch - as well as some of the other goodies mentioned in other comments above, depending on whether you go ES, A, or whatever. Happy hunting [/QUOTE]
