would you believe the old 2.5 was a faster engine!!

Never had a 4 cyl, but I'm not sure I'd buy one unless it was a heck of a
deal. There are some who are Ok w/ them, but I have yet to see someone w/
the 6 cyl say they wish they had gotten the 4 banger. Seen plenty the other
way.

I suppose it really boils down to what you're going to do with it. If it's
going to remain relatively stock as far as tires go, you'll probably be fine
w/ a 4 cyl., but if you ever lift and put larger tires, you'll likely start
wishing you had the 6.

Good luck! either way, Jeeps are tons of fun!
