Given that the difference you note is only 0.2 mph, I'd still conclude the Jeep is also a great handling machine. Having said that, I still prefer my X, but the point is yes, the Jeep is good in a straight line, but handling is also a virtue not to be dismissed. .2 mph is so close that those numbers could easily have been reversed given a different day, track, driver, weather, etc...
