Sport for the rugged men of men that builds his jeep to his personal style, does not care about the dog hair, dirt, water getting in and laughs at the other two knowing he has the truer of rigs as he drives through to get his Starbucks coffee.

Wow. Thanks for all the input everybody. You've given me a lot to think about. I especially like the Starbucks post! I can tell there's a lot of people on here with my kind of sarcastic humor.

FWIW....and to support my fellow SC jeeper, my JKU sport has no small number of Starbucks stains on my seat covers (I used to work at one of their coffee roasting plants).... The stuff is addicting!

Like many have already said, be realistic about what the extra money is going to buy you, and if you will use it. For me, I learned my lesson with my Subaru. Instead of buying a WRX, I opted for the $8k more expensive STi. A lot of Subaru guys will say get a WRX for a dd and only buy the STi if you plan on tracking it. I didn't listen, but they were right. So when it came time to get the jeep, it was easy for me to weigh the pros and cons of all that extra money for a Rubi. The only thing that I really wish I had off of a Rubi is the gears.

My opinion is to go for the Rubi if you can swing it... Everyone that I know with a Sahara or Sport- AND has kept it stock for any length of time, all regret not getting the Rubi when they go for a ride in mine. If you're paying cash for it- you'll of course feel the price difference more than if you're doing 5 yr payments like most of us... and I agree that if cash/paid in full were the case for me- I may have gone with a sport and sunk that extra scratch into mods right off the bat. But I wasn't planning on any significant mods for at least a year... So the stock Rubi has served me well, and it's only getting cooler with every upgrade I throw at it. At the end of the day, I'm sure you'll find awesomeness in which ever JK you end up with. Good luck!

X2 above post. I bought a 2011 2 dr sport and after several thousand dollars, I realized I should have bought a four door rubi. Went and traded and have never looked back.
