One of my reasons for buying a Crossfire was the six speed manual gearbox thinking it would be like a six speed in a 'vette. Well not quite but I can see why it is aso used in the Jeep Wrangler.


1st - good for malls, parades, and going up the side of a wall
2nd - starting gear, car is faster if you start here
3rd - good for neighborhoods with speed bumps
4th - neighborhoods without speed bumps
5th - 1:1 any speed limit of 35 mph or more
6th - o/d. 45 mph or more. 2400 rpm at 70 has you looking for another gear.


Be OK in Florida with just 2nd, 4th, and 6th. Amazing thing is that my 4400 lb Jeep Grand Chrokee tow car gets better EPA mpg than the Crossfire and it runs on 87 PON.


That said it is my preferred daily driver this time of the year.
