The difference in acceleration is marginal and you can minimise it if you are prepared to hold it on the brake with a load of revs on. But it is still not a race car. The box is responsive to using the selector, you ask it to lock out 4th etc it does it immediately which I find useful when towing trailers as I live in a hilly area and engine braking is necessary it's also useful off road. I've had a drive in some older land rover products and they are very dim witted compared. Off road and it does so much of the work for you especially with the traction control you can focus your skills on picking your line instead of having to balance clutch and gear selection, that makes it sound boring but the reality is that you're able to choose some quite spicy lines compared to a similar spec none traction control manual. There are videos out there of me at the last couple of jimny meetings just slowly creeping up and out of obstacles that were giving others a good kicking. I will not be looking for another manual if I ever need another jimny.
