Hi all,
I'm the proud owner of a 2011 Limited Metallic Black 4x4, with, wait for it...
Manual Tranny.
We ended up getting every option available including the awesome 430n Media Center. Deleting the CVT was the smartest thing I could do, and makes this baby Jeep a lot more capable in my hands. I've always preferred stick and would never drive without it.
I took it for a long road trip to break it in and found I was getting excellent fuel economy, around 8.4L/100km on the drive from Toronto to North Chelmsford, MA. My only complaint is the manual's gearing is a little long between 4th and 5th, and I have to gear down on the big hills.
Aside from that, it's a fantastic vehicle and I'm very happy with my purchase.
