I know what you mean by the 6-speed feeling like you have too many. My 350Z is a 6-speed, and in my town (it's small; we don't have any real "traffic" to speak of), most speed limits are 35. So, I rarely get above 3rd gear.

The only automatics I own are the minivan (that I pretty much never drive) and my Audi A8. I just picked up the Audi a couple weeks ago, and I like it (except for the fact that my window regulator just died a couple days ago...), but I keep finding myself reaching to downshift.
