In my car (left hand drive) I have a 6 spd manual. First and second are closest to me, reverse, 5 and 6 are furthest from me. Follow me so far? Well, how about...
in a right hand drive car? Will this be the same? ie) first and second closest to me, or will it be 5, 6 and reverse beside me?
I looked on the Mazda.co.uk and it appears all that has changed in the car is the instrumentation... it appears reverse etc is closest.. how confusing is THAT!! But I cant tell for sure, its quite small and blurred if I expand the image..
Please let me know, I'm very curious! (and I can never catch my British neighbour to ask him, LOL)
Thanks!

The transmission in a right hand drive car is the same as a left hand drive, so First gear in the right hand drive will be away from you. Confusing? If you grew up driving the car that way, doing it in a left hand drive car would be equally confusing. But, you get used to it.

yes its the same as in the US, as for reverse I have seen it in 2 different locations on the shifter.

the order of the tranny remains the same so first and second is furthest away from you to your left
