You know the one... Where the belt doesn't retract back all the way and hangs into the door way at a perfect spot for you to slam the door into it, denting and possibly chipping the paint from both the door and the door-frame?

Mu wife and I love our 2011. The interior is so much nicer than any of the other JK's we have owned. It is not only functional, it is more comfortable and appealing. It was a big part of our decision to get out of our 09 and go with the 2011.

As far as I am concenred they are just getting closer to turning these things into mini vans. First the engine, now the interior. I'd rather have a wrangler and not a GC. And just how in the ~!$# do they NOT offer bright red or white as color options!? It's looking less and less like I'll ever buy another new one. So sad.

I think white is a last minute late add on. Not sure about red...... Turning into a minivan? You mean its not all ready? I have freaking hill assist and"traction control" IN A JEEP!

Personally, I love the 2011 interior, especially with the brown leather. I had an appointment to order one, but found my 09 Rubi the day before. Couldn't justify paying $10,000 more for 13k less miles, Power options, leather, and that interior. Maybe I will find one in a few years, with the new motor, but I am happy now. As for being too posh, maybe if it is a dedicated trail machine, but not so much for a DD. I admit I hate the TC, but it is easily defeated. If a guy really wants a new Jeep, with the CJ style interior, $30k could easily buy one that is already built up, and the rest of the money could go into a SBC swap and restoration. I think they are a long way away from becoming mini vans, but the day they go with IFS, push button 4WD, unibody construction, or front wheel drive, I will retract that statement.

My 2011 is GREAT. Took the carpet out and all the underneath metal is painted to match my dark green exterior. Very Comfy and smooth riding. I really enjoy the cruise control and all the necessities for a daily driver, yet just rugged enough to earn the title jeep.
I have a stick with 3.21 gears and 255 tires. I zip around no problem in hilly Maine without any sluggishness. I think it would even do great with 33's, however I might need some more might with 35. Im thinking 3.73 or MAX 4.10 to go with 35 and the stick. I might keep my 3.21 with stock tires, becuase average 20mpg is a Jeep is really nice!

i like the 2011 interior, but i do not love it. the design is like a honda civic, i like the 2007-2010 exterior color on the door's inside showing, i see the lay out same as the 2010 , just trimed like a honda.
the earlier jk,s dash is simpler to take apart and modify.

Anyone that thinks this looks bad needs their head examined. That black is indeed BLACK.. I think an all black would look too dark with no contrast.
