Right! I guess I need to relearn how to drive it. It’s not a rattle for sure. Other than the occasional stumble at low rpm it would otherwise be smooth. I’m really curious what gear people drive 30 in with their manual transHeh-heh, ain't that true. I didn't drive a Wrangler at all, until I bought this one, and it's been a learning experience. I appreciate now how good of a V6 was in my old Xterra. The 6-speed Xterra actually drove similarly to the V8s in my Chevy Camaro and Corvette, e.g. it had enough low end torque to skip gears under the right conditions.
The Pentastar, though...seriously, I drive it more like I drove my Mini Cooper S. It has to rev a bit to be happy. I feel that stumble, too. I'm going to give myself until the warranty runs out, and if I haven't taught myself to drive the Jeep gooder [sic] by then, I'm shopping for some gears.
I have to admit, it is entertaining to glance at the green instantaneous MPG and see it wildly fluctuate. It's like being on a race track seeing the tachometer dancing, except it doesn't require high-speed and aggressive cornering. Much safer.
