Motor Trend Magazine's sister publication Truck Trend just published an article entitled Trucks and SUVs You Can Still Get With a Stick, and of course the Jeep Wrangler was praised. From the article,
The Wrangler stays true to its roots by offering a six-speed manual on both two-door and four-door Unlimited models. Unlike many of the other vehicles on this list, the manual is offered on all Wrangler trim levels, from the entry Sport to the top-of-the-line Rubicon. Although a case can be made for why an automatic is better for off-roading, we're glad Jeep still gives us a choice and doesn't force us into the hair-shirt trim level to get it.While I may not agree that an automatic transmission is better for off-roading, I can certainly agree with their appreciation for the Wrangler's availability with a manual transmission in every trim level. As I mentioned in my second-ever blog entry explaining why I chose a Wrangler, I would not have have even included the Wrangler on my list of potential vehicles if it was not available with a manual transmission. I fully back Car and Driver Magazine's crusade to Save The Manuals!
The idea of the manual sounds really good,but still for an off road junkie an automatic is better.It makes it all the more adventurous
