I'm really liking the diesel engine, though...enough so that I was willing to put $20 of my own money toward a few gallons more diesel fuel (my original plan was to just drive it to a quarter tank, then let it rest in my driveway until they picked it up), but I want to drive it to work all week until then.  Also, I got to see a Lexus IS-F at the pump next to mine. That's the first time I've seen one of those in the wild.
Yesterday we were going up some steep hills (paved, of course), at relatively low speeds (like 35 mph) and it just doesn't even have to try to climb things like that. It stayed in a higher gear and just pulled the jeep up the hill. It was pretty cool. |
I am surprised after all these years Jeep hasn't found a way to make the back seat roomier. Thats a serious issue and they need to address it. I guess the Diesel isn't all that bad, only if they can get a few more MPG out of them. How was the IS-F?
