Finally got to test drive at JLUR over the weekend having ordered over a month ago (still in D1...) and I largely concur with most poster's positive impressions of the interior experience, etc, so I won't go into all of that. I did have 2 others in it with me, and had no issue carrying on a conversation at 65 mph+ with folks in the front and back seats, for those interested in road noise without headliners.
That said, I wanted to raise two minor things that I observed driving in the rain:
1) the windshield wiper controls are easy to use and figure out, but when I turned on the rear one, it is LOUD. The dealer thought I was spraying the washer fluid over and over, but it was just the wiper going back and forth. It wasn't scraping on the glass as it was plenty wet out, so I found this odd.
2) when you open the front doors in the rain, a line of water falls directly in to the vehicle on to the floor mat on both sides, instead of running down the A pillars like one would expect. Not a big deal for a jeep with drain holes and all that, I know, but it would seem like it would have been an easy fix to put in a channel to prevent you from getting your pants all wet when you get into it, especially for the daily driver who also has to take it to work every day (or your SO...).
Other than that, I loved it and can't wait to get mine!
