Haha, I love it! When I spell my name for people now, I often follow with, "you know, like A Aron"
Thanks Jasmine! My dilemma is my dealer has offered me a generous trade value for my current Sahara.... But they can't just hold that offer indefinitely, and I need to make a decision soon. I can probably hold them until mid March, but I'm also afraid I might not like Sting gray, which would have made waiting pointless.
This will be my first hard top (dual top). Previously, I owned two soft tops and passengers complained about the noise, but I honestly didn’t give a damn; I considered it part of the charm of the Jeep. If someone wants a silent, predictable drive, then stick with a nice boring vehicle such as a Lexus. This is not to say that the people experiencing issues with their new tops shouldn’t complain and get it fixed. If something is wrong, of course, but to new owners, they should know that owning and riding in Jeep comes with certain charms.
I wonder how many people complaining about people complaining was one of the people complaining? The next thing you know there will be complaints about the top leaks
Fair enough. So I went back and looked. As you put it "Some" of those complaining had valid points but to my point the majority chock it up to being a Jeep. I might also point out that the OP lives in Colorado. The windiest place in the country outside of Chicago. He's going to get more wind noise. The OP also test drove the JL's and his current ride is a 2017 Ram and a BMW. Do you think he might think the wind noise is a little loud. Exactly my point. So thank you for pointing that out so I could go back see that I was correct. What's next. "My hardtop leaks", "My new Jl rides rougher than my Grand Cherokee", "I wish they made a JL with a front bench seat so I could get all 4 kids and my wife in it at the same time", "My 0-60 time sucks in my Jeep, whats wrong with it" , When I go thru the auto carwash it doesn't get the mud off my fender flares", "My painted fender flares have rock chips on them, FCA should recall and paint them for free", "I'm only getting 15 MPG, my Honda got 32, WTH" Looks like someone complaining about someone complaining didn't take his own advice. Nice try Scooter....
My main complaint with the Wrangler, is whenever I put the second shifter thingy into something called 4L, the vehicle goes real slow and will not keep up with traffic. Fail FCA your vehicle is too slow even at 6000 rpm.

"Drove jlu sahara and rubicon on highway for test drives. Seemed similar to me. Was not overly windy, but not a calm day. Defintely noisier than my m3"(Louder than his M3, correct me if I'm wrong but is that not a BMW?) So once again my point made. Dude steps out of a M3BMW and the Jeep has more wind noise....
"I ordered with Mopar Headliners, its almost as quiet as my F150 as an fyi, the white looks stupid but shes quiet"
"The headliners will help. On my JK I removed the top, turned it upside down and carpeted the entire interior of the top.
Cost $40 and really helped the looks, I didnt have any noise before and surely didnt after.
I am just spoiled as my Denali is whisper quiet at 80MPH".(His Denali is quieter, Hmmmm)
Yep!!
And now my transfer case is destroyed and Jeep won't fix it. Said it was my fault. For $55k I expect better. I should have gotten a 4Runner or LandroverMy main complaint with the Wrangler, is whenever I put the second shifter thingy into something called 4L, the vehicle goes real slow and will not keep up with traffic.

Hi BearJewJonny,
Speaking of wind noise with the soft top.... the new premium soft top is dang quite, quieter then any hardtop JK or TJ I’ve ever owned.
It’s unfortunately not available as an option on the Sport. Probably could buy it later from Bestop though.
