Traded my '11 in for my dozer yellow '12 about a month ago. Absolutely loving it! Wanted the 3.6 for my daily driving, hoping I don't get the dreaded cylinder problems but doesn't change the smile on my face when I drive it.

Picked up in Feb, have 6k on it now and just started to get better than 16mpg on the highway. My problem is massive water leaks in the hardtop, they have it again for the fourth time trying to fix. Thats why I got a hardtop JKU.

I purchased my 12 the same night my father bought his. He has 3k more miles on his than I do mine... I got a chance to drive his the other day and it felt like his engine had a lot more get up then mine did. Anyone see any improvements after 6k miles? I felt some big changes between 3k and 6k... just wondering if I'm still breaking the engine in.

I ordered mine in January and picked it up in March. Four months and 3,000 miles so far. Only issue is the right rear shock started leaking. Getting it replaced next week. Other than that, I love it!

I'm still having to downshift too. I only have about 2,100 miles on mine in a month and a half. I've also noticed that the start out of each gear is slow until it hits about 1.5K RPM and then you get pulled into the seat from the acceleration.
