Hey guys just wondering if someone could tell me what the 380 manuals are revving at @ about 100k's in 5th. Looking to buy in the next month but from what I can remember when I test drove one at the motorcade they revv way to high, looking to do quite a few highway kms. Thanks peeps, Cheers.

They do about 2750rpm at 100km/h in 5th for the manual transmission.

This is quite a difference from the 1650rpm@5th (Auto), and I believe the official consumption figures for the manual are higher than the auto for highway usage.

Having said that, the TJ 3.5 V6 manuals do about 2400rpm@100km/h in 5th, and the TS 30V6 manual does 2550rpm@100km/h in 5th.


What MMAL really needs to do is bring out a 6-speed manual. Even if they keep the 1st to 5th ratios the same, but add a long-legged overdrive 6th. Wouldn't that be on most of our wishlists.

alright looks like the auto is on the cards then, cant wait to get another mitso, loved my TJ. test drove an aurion the other day, certainly aint buying one of em now, the drive really put me off, WAY too nanna style
