I've never driven a Base .....maybe the seats make a difference ? My 6 spd is an '07 Limited I bought new ....after 72,000 miles I still love shifting it & I'm a hair over 6FT...190 lbs. My 08 is an automatic...have to say I love driving it also. I don't know if there is a way to alter the clutch engagement.....like I said earlier it's something you probably would get used to......


Both of mine had the tiny valve cover leaks & both were fixed under warranty. Oddly, the 08 was just a gasket repair....whereas the same dealership said there was a TSB from Chrysler on the 07s.....they replaced the entire valve covers....said it would have been over $1000.
