I think the LFX is a great engine but they really neutered it with the doggish throttle response and the terrible m6 that was designed solely to hit the 30mpg mark. Although the throttle issues can be helped with a vitesse(I don't have one), we are however stuck with the m6 unless you want to swap it out. The first time I drove it I had flashbacks to my fathers mid 80's s-10. It was clunky and high effort. Also the Reverse position causes issues. It's too easy to shift into R instead of 1 and vice versa. And sometimes downshifting into second lands me into the phantom gear below R. I've owned manual mazdas and Hondas and they were amazingly smooth and fun to drive. They transformed boring grocery getters into drivers cars. Thankfully the 6th gen will get a tremec instead of this aisyn truck tranny
Hopefully the vitessee will liven this thing up but I kinda need brakes rims tires atm
