Went out to drive a auto Sahara and manual sport. I have to say, the sport with a manual transmission and soft top was wayyyyyyy more at home for me. The one and only thing I could complain about is the fact that there really is no where to put your clutch foot other than under the clutch on longer stretches of no clutch action. Did not like that but def not a deal breaker for me. Solidified my decision to get a manual.

It's weird they didn't put a dead pedal on the JL's nor the JT's. I've seen some aftermarket options, but seems cumbersome to install.

I couldn't imagine where they would put it.. I thought having the door off would be perfect. Could rest your foot in the door well
