On top of that, I like the idea of having an incredibly modern vehicle that is loaded with technology, yet still boasts a manual transmission. It's the best of both worlds.The manual transmission era is closing. This might be the last time you can get a vehicle you like with one. That's why I'm getting a stick - might be the last time I have the choice when buying new.
I'm still waiting to see reviews of it, though. My biggest complaint with the JK's manual (aside from Mopar's awful TOBs) was how noisy it was. When you installed a lift and put the stock DS at a funky angle, you could literally hear its pain and suffering through the transmission (when it wasn't rattling all over the damn place).
I don't care about the shorter throws or reverse being on the top left. I just don't want to hear the damn thing. If it's smooth and quiet, I'm sold.
