I've contemplated the same question. I've got an 09 Rubi 2dr. and had looked at the 11's. Believe it or not the price on the 11 was a little more than buying the 2012. I drove the 2012. Yes, the motor may have a little more power. It certainly may last longer, but the interior is what got me. NICE. If you could wing it, I'd go with the 2012 Rubi and don't look back. The power on the 3.8 is just sad. At least the 3.6 gets out of it's own way. Not a power house by any means though. Or, take the 2011 and put a hemi in it.

 

Not sure if this applies nationwide, but my coworker just bought a 2011 Sahara 4-dr fully loaded with 0% for 5years... BIG incentive for dealerships to unload '11 models. He had an insanely high credit score tho... like in the 800s

 

'11 or '12? The '11 will drive the same as the '07. If you meant the '12 yes it should be a big improvement over what you have

 

I think they started that about the same time the 2012's started rolling off the assembly line.

 

Why would you get rid of your beautiful Rubi.. The new jeeps may have a new engine, but really would you get rid of your Rubi package for a "sport" and you still have to add after market parts which will void your warrenty.. you work it out.. i say keep it

Don't forget the transfer case! That alone is worth $3000.00 to me.

 

Was hoping for a great price on the new 11 Sport (lower my payment) but they're selling so good it's not happenin'.



Rubi gets a lift and tires


And I can still lock 'em up and climb over anything in my way!

 

Am I the only one that doesnt think the 3.8 isnt bad for what it is? Granted gears are going in prob next weekend but you can make this motor sing! Just dont be scared of the skinny pedal... Thats the best and worst advice all at once haha

I don't have a problem with it. I run 35s and can run the interstate at 80 with no performance mods done to it. I'm holding out for a diesel before I consider trading it.
