No regrets. I don't think I would be able to pull off the two door being 6' 5", my wife 5'10" and my 12 year old daughter being 5'7" and growing. Plus i love the way it drives on the highway considering my work is 50 miles away. When my daughter is out of the house I am sure I will go back to the 2 door.

My hubby and I don't regret buying the 4dr. We have two sons left at home that love jeeping. It was getting harder to get them in and out of the 93 YJ. Now the guys can get out on their own and still look cool (says my 12 yr old).

So far the hardest thing to get used to for me is the fact that even though it's a good bit longer, it still has a much better turning radius than most vehicles out there. Driving a TJ for the last 8 years, I'm still turning way to soon in the JK and having to back up and straigten things out to get into a parking spot.
I had gotten sloppy in my parking skills since in the TJ even if you were at an angle in the spot you were still usually in the lines :confused: , with the extra length and width of the JK, you have to get into the parking spot somewhat straight.

Not sure where you live but if it is any where near Brunswick Ohio Brunswick Auto Mart has that Jeep or close. I think they have about a dozen or so.

No Regrets here... I agree, I have a YJ and I can harldy hear myself think, I test drove the JK Unimited and then put a deposit down on it immediately. We traded in our Liberty on it and in my opinion it rides better than the Liberty as well an it's a heck of alot bigger and more comfortable. My only regret is that I need a bigger garage or one of those cool organizer things because when you have the two doors and hardtop from my YJ and the freedom top and 4 doors from my JK in the garage it looks like a Jeep scrapyard! I have 3000 Miles on my JK Unlimited and love the heck out of it... but get ready for every wierdo to come talk to you about "Woah, thats the new Jeep with the gorilla commercial, awesome"

No regrets on 4 door
I've had our silver 4 door Rubicon for a month now. We had a very well equipped 2000 TJ for 7 years and the new 4 door is a great improvement. It is hard to believe a vehicle so comfortable can perform so well offroad. The extra width and length is not nearly as big a drawback as expected. The 4 door is far more capable from the factory than the TJ. The electric swaybar disconnect is amazing.
