Just curious, who regrets having the auto in the new 3.6 over having a 6 speed. I like the auto, but I don't love it, I guess I'm just a standard guy, but I have auto jeep. Womp womp.

I have 2 2012's and i love my auto, and i tolerate my manual. When the 8 speed auto comes out my manual is gone.

While I am no fan of the new AT, it beats the hell out a manual for my daily commute in traffic. If I ever feel the need I can always use the manual shifting option. As a general rule all of my trucks/SUVs have been autos and my sports cars/sedans have been manuals.

I like a manual trans for zippy, light, sporty vehicles, it's like sailing a small boat, you are more involved with the driving process. For big, heavy vehicles, auto makes it so much easier for towing , low speed trail work, daily driving. The 5spd auto is such an improvement over the 4spd , very responsive ,especialy with the " slap stick".

I like my auto, but I'm scared!,,, My jeep had 2k on it when I put on the 37's with 5.13's,, 200 miles later,,, total failure!!! My planetary gear blew up internally in a flat parking lot. Dealer covered it due to the low miles,, but said if it happened again, they most likely would not. Now I'm always nervous.

I love my auto. Im done with manual trannys unless I get a sport car or hot rod/muscle car.

Consider yourself lucky with the dealer covering it.

Oh, auto here and like it much better than the 2010 manual I had

I have the 2012 with Auto...Installed Diablosport Tuner...Huge difference...
Instant throttle - shifts are much faster - RPM redline also a little higher...
HP & TRQ increase don't hurt also...
Running 32" in winter - 35" in summer...
