How do you like the 3.73s? I hear some people love them others would rather have the 3.31s

Congrats man!

No issues with the MT thus far. The stock shifter is a little sloppy but still engages very well. I think im getting 14.4 mpg but I'm still breaking it in. Car likes the revs so that's where I like to leave it.

Yeah I really haven't had any issues with mine either although I did get the 2012. If you do have a bit of a harder time shifting in cold weather I would recommend taking it to the dealership and have them do the cold weather shifting TSB. They put in some different transmission fluid and it makes it even smoother.

Only reason I did it was because I drove mine all winter and 5th gear just crunched a few times and 1st was a bit more difficult to shift into. It engaged just fine in 1st and 5th but I figured why not improve that since it was free under warranty.

Ok, cool. The only thing that I noticed when it was really cold out was a little ticking noise from the engine. However, once the car warmed up, the noise always subsided.
