Default Hello from France
Hello JK owners,

I'm from France and as a future owner of a Wrangler JK, I had to register as soon as I discovered this board.
JK are quite rare in France (fuel consumption, Eco tax, too tough for SUV lovers) so it's difficult to get info on this model.
I will buy mine in september/October and I still don't know what to choose: Sport (the base model in France), Sahara and Rubicon?? 3,8L V6 or 2,8L CRD diesel?? Unlimited or Two-door model??
I hope I will get some answers in this forum.
I will use it as a daily drive and an off-road tool so I have to find the right balance.

Nice to meet you guys!

Interesting answer. Just to know, does the diesel engine is available in the US? Its torque at low rev is quite tempting (460 NM with the autobox)

The diesel is not available in the states. Je parle un petit peu de Francais - ma mere habite en monaco.

Welcome! If it were me, I would be all over the diesel with the 5 speed auto.
