Wow total BS! I have a 2dr and had friends in the back and they all say its actually quite roomie. They were used to being in the back of a 2 dr sports car but still.
The ride is actually quite smooth and with a hard top there is very little wind noise. I love my Jeep and would never go back to a car. Forbes must have never driven one.

Though some might argue the iconic Wrangler and its four-door Wrangler Unlimited version are among the best-performing off-road vehicles, they suffer from limited passenger comfort, harsh and erratic ride and handling abilities and excessive wind noise at higher speeds. True, they get great resale value, but the Wranglers placed among the lowest scoring models in Consumer Reports’ testing, with the Unlimited also falling on its worst-values list; the original Jeep’s descendent also gets low marks in initial quality, performance and reliability from J.D. Power.
I don't read anything that is not true. It's not a vehicle for everybody. It has a purpose.

The Wrangler makes this list every year. Funny how they forget to mention the Wrangler has one of the highest resale values of any vehicle, and are in constant demand, with a cult like following. The phrase it's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand definitely describes the idiots who write for this magazine..

All these things are true. I hate driving mine once top off season is gone and windy season is here. Whenever people will be riding in the back seat we take another car because entry into the back seat is awkward at best and the seat is downright uncomfortable(and we have a 4 door). It's not a great vehicle and it's certainly not a 40-50k vehicle, even in rubi or rubi x trim, but for whatever reason I still love mine.

J.D. Power isn't smart enough to understand that by saying - "they get great resale value", he contradicted himself, and that people vote against his lack of understanding, by buying Jeeps as fast as they get off the production line...

BTW... regarding this quote --
"four-door Wrangler Unlimited version are among the best-performing off-road vehicles"
"Among"? which stock 4x4 equals or tops the stock Wrangler? ...
(...or the availability of upgrading options?)
