After being driven around and driving my Jeep, I managed to convert my cousin. He has an appointment with his local dealer on Saturday in Northern NJ and I will be going with him. He joined us boys for a few trips to the Hamptons from NYC and loved the Doorless/Topless experience in a near 2 hour one way ride on the Long Island Expressway plus Sunrise Highway!
His previous vehicles have all been 4 cylinders and he prefers the smaller motors for some reason. To that end, he will be getting/ordering himself a 2021 four door Sport S with the Turbo 4 and only a hardtop. He drove my 2020 JLUR with the Pentastar and liked it. But his heart is set at the Turbo 4 for sure. I also encouraged him as I have not heard anything negative about the Turbo 4 in forums and the drivers are equally as happy as the drivers that got the Pentastar.
Just one question on his behalf: how is the A/C in the 2L motor without eTorque? Since the motor is much smaller at 2 liters versus my 3.6 Pentastar, is there a performance difference? I think anyone out there who has a Turbo 4 without the eTorque might be able to answer that. In the 2018 models, all Turbo 4s came with the eTorque. Hence the eTorque kicked in as support for the A/C when stopped at a Red Light for example. Wonder how it will be now that the eTorque is no longer available with the Turbo 4. I used to have a 2004 Nissan Sentra in college with a 1.8 Litre motor. The A/C would stop when I am at a Red Light and then start working again once I am moving. It would also get colder in the car once I was on the Highway at higher RPMs and Gears. His current car (a 2012 Civic) does the same exact thing and so does his wife's 2010 Corolla. My significant other had an Altima in college with a 2.5L motor. Her Altima did not do this as I clearly remember.
