Just Test drove a JL in the UK. It was a 4 door Sahara. In the UK it seems that most of the options comes as standard (Climate control, Sat-nav etc.) Which is a bonus. The bumper definitely looks like a bench.

Unfortunately it’s a diesel so i will have to wait until December to get a petrol. It did feel good to take it out on a test drive though.

I just test drove the 2.0 turbo and I am impressed. This is the first one in Leeds and I have already reserved it as you cannot officially buy until the 12th October.

It is so much more responsive than the 2.8 Diesel I have with my JK. Its quicker and has 400 nm torque which is great! Defiantly quicker and quieter than the JK.

It came with KM3 mud terrain tyres standard (255/75/17) so I might swap these out for my 285/75/17 KO2s when I get a chance.

Beautiful RUBI !!! With hood locker !
ÂŁ45405 is final? It seems to be a fair price. In Spain is noticiable higher.

I thought euro sports and rubi’s came with the soft top as standard ( with hard top as an option? )

Seems the case on the German configurator; hope this hasn’t changed.

It is standard in Switzerland. I think it is the same in Germany.

Just a short report after a long trip with the Rubicon 2.2 diesel.
660 km (80 of them inside a big caotic capital , Prague with huge queues- the balance onky on highway)..Max speed reached without ANY effort :145 km/h...Average speed 115 km/h so that means I was quite often over 130 km/h..Total consumption 8.9 lt/100 km..with an engine that has about 1400 km total...I am super happy for the confort and the noise (acceptable for my standards)..Brilliant engine..low consumption considering we were 4 people on board and engine is new (> 26 mph/gallon)..Good job Rubicon..
