Since my wife got this car (she bought it without me check'n it out cause I was at work) the trans revs pretty high in the first 3 gears. When driving in a 40mph zone you have to goose the throttle so it will shift out of second. If you don"t goose it it will ride out 3000rpm while do'n 40mph. Just thought I'd throw this out there and see if anybody has heard of anything like this.
