Why the 2 door?
The back seat for the door is a horrible design. I wish the jk front seat would fold forward like on my old TJ. Other than that I have no problem getting in and out, my wife has no issues and we put my 2 year old daughter back there as well with no issues. Just wish they kept that awesome fold and pop forward front seat that the TJs have to give extra room to get in and out of the back.
I am glad to hear however that the front passenger tumble is back.
Now - if my new Jeep would hurry up and arrive so I can go pick it up I'll truly be happy.
I prefer 2-door looks ... on ANY vehicle ... I don't own 4-door vehicles ... I have no use for them ...
I never owned a Jeep before and I wanted a TRADITIONAL Jeep ... which is a 2-door.
4-Door Jeeps are for soccer moms (I see LOTS of mommies driving 4-doors JK's ... you unlimited owners cannot deny that) .. and for guys who's wives said YOU ARE NOT GETTING A TOY unless it's a 4-DOOR and practical ....

I gotta admit ... when decked out with big tires and suspension lifts ... 4-doors to look more intimidating and agressive than a 2-door with the same tires and lift .... basically due to the size ...
well then maybe I can get my hands on 2011 front passenger seat if the tumble forward feature is back. That is my only complaint about the 2 door. Although I might not have to worry about it soon if the wife decides to get a new 4-door islander edition that she was eye balling up at Ramstein, Germany.
Side bar I really miss Michigan and wheeling at "the mounds".

If you want a "traditional" Jeep, you would have to get one with no computer, no coils, no disc brakes, no ESP, no BLD, no electronic lockers, no electronic discos, no power windows, no radio, designation as a CJ, it would be a hell of a lot smaller than our 2 door JK, etc........
Where exactly does the Traditional thing stop? Is it a traditional Jeep just because it has 2 doors? If that were the case they could have called a full size cherokee or the smaller 2 door cherokee a traditional jeep. In fact they technically should not have any doors to be "traditional".
Sure the round headlights and the way the grill looks is essential, but even then, where did the 9 slot grill of the war era jeeps go? Why can't I turn my headlights all the way around and direct them into the engine compartment to work on the engine if needed? The first year it was available to the public it was all gone, oops, there you are, none of them are traditional. A 2 door is "traditional" is such flawed logic.
The 4 door can lay claim to jeep tradition just as much as our 2 door can by being just as capable. The jeep tradition is it's mountain goat like ability offroad, not how long it is or how many doors it has, if that were the case, the traditional jeep died LONG AGO.
The jeep tradition is its ability offroad and its ability to bring like minded people together as a community of jeepers.
Well my soapbox is starting to break under me so I shall step down from it.

I never even thought of a 4 door until I realized how little room there is in the 2 door. It's just my hubby and me and my little dog so I thought the 2 door was big enough. I already took out the back seat. So far, the 2 door seems to be okay. Plus I couldn't afford a 4 door.
