1. The 2.7 engine is fast. Maybe its just an upgrade from my 1990s honda crv. But the engine felt like a waverunner while pulling onto the highway. I tried 3 modes , eco , normal , and sport mode. Anybody who bought a wildtrak is going to be SHOCKED at how cool sport mode is and everyone who got a badlands is going to be sad they dont have it (me). You can tell a major difference between normal/eco and sport. However i could not tell a difference between the eco and normal modes. Keep in mind , i started driving the car on eco , and pulling onto the highway with it still surprised me at how quick it was. But again , old honda driver. Im glad i got the 2.7 over the 2.3.
2. The ride is great. We went on the highway , and drove through some typical maryland roads (massive potholes and patches). Despite the large bumps the car ate them effortlessly. I would have been shaking in any other car.
3. Open air experience is awesome. Never owned a jeep but its just nice to have the sun and air. Have not ridden in a jeep so i cant compare roof off noise but i didnt really notice any major wind noise beyond what you would expect.
4. The car is very large with the sasquatch. So much so , that at least in the 2 door , getting in and out of it is actually a pain in the ass. However im a smaller guy (5' 8). If you got the sasquatch and are not a sasquatch yourself , you should think about ordering side steps. Also its a massive pain to get into the back seat of the 2 door , there are no grab handles to assist you squeezing in. But once you are back there , its a ton of room and super comfortable
5. The seating is great. It was cloth seating and it felt awesome. Very comfortable.
6. the ability to switch driving modes on the fly is very cool.
7. Auto start stop sucks
