Are you able to stroke your stick again with the Yota?

I've been vaguely opening my eyes lately to see if AWD can be had with a stick. I'm still a ways off and am not in a hurry, but curiosity gets the best of me. The new Mazda3 can be had with AWD or a stick, but I haven't heard a definitive answer about AWD and a stick.

That's a bit rich for my blood, and I don't want to take a huge mileage penalty. Going to the auto show next weekend. Might have to pick the wonks' brains. Tough part is that I'm still so far out that the product mix might change and more manuals might die.

You can in fact get a JL for not a ton of money, but that will be bare bones garbage without even A/C. Never mind the basics that normal vehicles have.

Ours was over $40k MSRP with quite a few options on it. Being a dealer employee I fortunately didnt pay nearly that much.

I may live in Minnesota, but I ain't fittin' to forego A/C. It still gets gross during the summer. I'd be curious to drive a Jeep, but don't know if I'd like to own one.

Clearly you all missed me. Its been dead in here

Nah. Like someone else said we got buried under snow!

With the doors and roof removed, no AC system known to mankind will make a difference in the cabin temperature.....come to think of it, with the doors and the roof removed, who needs AC?

Thats my theory most of the time. Though there are some situations where a suit is required, and therefore A/C is nice to have

[tankinbeans]

I have passengers in my car often enough where I like to keep the windows closed so I can carry on a conversation without shouting making A/C very nice to have. Also, my missing eardrum sometimes causes headaches if there's too much buffeting.

passengers

Eww

Passengers would be OK,............ if they weren't humans. Dogs make excellent passengers.

The fact that the tailgate window on my yota fully lowers into the hatch is a huge boon. It's no Wrangler in terms of doors off top off, but I didn't wanna take a chance on FCA reliability, even if I did fit in it.
