Hopefully it drives better on the highway than a Jeep Wrangler. The Jeep feels like driving farm equipment on the highway. |

Nice! Yeah I was a bit annoyed that if you wanted the manual you had to drop to the tiniest engine package and lower trim levels. Sure, with the way the crawl gear works it's more than enough for that, but...you still have to drive TO the off-road areas in normal modes, and having more power on freeways and crap can make a huge difference where I'm at. Some on-ramps only have about 100 yards or less to merge into traffic doing 80 mph. I don't expect to be winning any drag races with the 2.7 vs the 2.3, but every little bit helps and I'd rather have 310/400 than 270/310.

Not sure If I'll go with the 'Squatch package. I like the black steel wheels of the Black Diamond Edition.

It IS tempting to just shift to the Wildtrak + Lux though. |

Ok now I'm thinking the 4 door is pretty cool too:

Confused about the roof options on the four-door-- I see the Molded-In-Color (MIC) listed, as well as sound insulation for same. I'm assuming that this roof is detachable.
But, what is the stock (i.e. non-MIC) roof? I think it's a canvas soft-top? But I'm not certain. Any ideas? Last edited by flybigjet; 10-25-2020 at 10:24 AM.. |

I'm disappointed those doors with the little windows didn't make it into production. For some reason I feel it made the car look much better. I still like it though, would totally get this over a wrangler... but then I'm not a big wrangler fan.

Hard tops for both models can be optioned with sound insulation.

I thought I'd choose a loaded-out Wildtrak but I don't like brown interiors; so I'd choose an Outer Banks so at least the interior is gray and blue. After delivery I'd remove and sell off the running boards the Outer Banks has standard. I do like how the Wildtrak blacks-out the 'power dome' hood, but I could recreate that look myself after delivery.
Active Cruise Control and premium sound system makes the Lux Package a requirement. There's no mention of the leather-power seats having preset memory, so I'd save the $2195 and stick with the cloth-manual seats. If it turns out there is preset memory I'd pony up for this option. While I wouldn't need the Sasquatch Package, it really makes this vehicle. I'd choose it even though it isn't cheap. I wouldn't be choosing any bash plates or special bumpers. Just like my last four cars were gray; I'd choose Carbonized Gray. $55,865

If..... IF my much-loved MT Element ever gives up the ghost, I'd have to go here:
Badlands Edition, 4-doors, MANUAL TRANSMISSION, Lux package, tow kit, hard-top w/ insulation. In Cyber Orange, of course. From what I can figure out, the Badlands is the only way to get a MT with the Lux package. At $55k, it would *hurt*, but it would also be a hoot to drive. (Please God, don't let my Element blow up!) |
