What Do You Like Most/Least About The New JL?

[Bearded_Dragon]

like:
- great redesign
- more modern technology
- bigger tires

dislike:
- think the wheels could look better and more options for wheels
- diesel not available for 2 door

Exactly, I love everything about the JL except no diesel for two door Wranglers.

Personally I like the Rubi wheel options and the Sahara optional wheels ( subjective I know) but the standard wheel for the Sahara and all options on the sport leave a whole lot to be desired... I actually really dislike them.

Wheels are so subjective.

I like both Rubi wheels though I prefer the standard. Hate all the Sport wheels except the Sport S alternate wheels which I actually really like. I like the Sahara base wheels but hate the alternate wheels. And I was surprised when I looked aftermarket there weren't many I really liked.

Thankfully wheels are fairly easily remedied but in some instances ( even though I think the JK played out some styles for too long) it might have done it better ( depending on trim) with that said I do like some of the choices the others may grow on me or look better in person.

Like the modern interior.
Dislike the ugly wheels and bumpers.

They fixed the things wrong with the JK - stronger axles, bigger brakes
No need to lift for 35's on the Rubi

Cons:
Still no good engine choices. The Pentastar is unreliable junk. The 2.0L is complicated and probably a poor fit for an offroad vehicle. The diesel's late availability and greatly increased costs don't make it a great option either.

Likes:

- New Soft Top
- New Manual Transmission
- New UConnect
- Exterior/Interior Styling
- New Rubicon is about perfect (though I probably won't buy one)

Dislikes:

- Sport S default wheels
- No LED option for Sport S
- Having doubts Sting-Gray will really be available as a base color

Probably a stupid question, but what don’t you like about the wheels? On the configurator it looks like the upgrade wheels were the same but with a silver accent.

Ditto on the Dislikes! I’d also add not having standard LEDs and fuel door on the Sahara.

Not gonna lie I just looked up some possible solutions and I might invest into one of these considering I’m 6’5”.https://www.amazon.com/Just-BlauMitWeiss-LLC-LIS-1-LightInSight/dp/B00K31M554

• Styling. Front grill hood and vents looks more aggressive. Maybe sounds silly but a more retro modern look
• New top options. Especially power slider
• Better driving characteristics
• Engine choices with 2.0 and soon to be Diesel
• Updated quality interior
• Technology including Uconnect, auxiliary switches, back up camera, lane assist, heated steering wheel
• Wind noise, from what I hear from the reviews
• Alexa will start it for me

Dislikes

• Enxgine choices. Missing a 350hp 350 ftlb torque option
• No optional rear side air bags. Not even optional? I have kids.
• Freedom top with more removable panels
• Ventilated seats. Fully loaded over $50k and no ventilated seats
• No front parking sensors. It’s setup for sensors so why?
• Back up camera location. Yes I have been bashed on this before but in my opinion it’s a bad location
• Tan interior is seats only. That’s to much of a short cut. Door trim and Center console should be tan. I was going to order tan.
• Red dash on Rubi. Looks good with certain colours but should be an option..

Missed one. Dislikes. Towing capacity.

Sorry, no, I disagree here. The only issues the Pentastar has had are all manufacturing related, not a design flaw. The cylinder head castings and oil cooler failures are only issues on ones with factory defective parts. There's probably well over 1 million Pentastar engines out there and the issues are minimal.

Anyhow, the biggest thing I dislike is the grille. It would look so much better IMO without the deep inset headlights. It seriously bugs me how far inset the headlights are in the grille. If the grille didn't stick out so far or the headlights stuck out farther it would look so much better IMO.

Likes:
-Basically improves on the Jk in almost every way without hurting the offroad capabilities.
-Better on road
-Much nicer interior
-Better tops all around

Dislikes:
-Still somewhat cramped for taller drivers with a seat that won't lower or go back enough
-Priced with compact luxury crossovers
- Ummm?

Wheels are very subjective.

To me they look like the base steelies from the JK/U.
