Nothing, I loved the design from the start. Always wanted a Wrangler but the 2 Dr was impractical for me. Saw the ad, test drove one made the D, then had to wait nine months for the yellow to get here.

If it wasn't what I wanted I would have brought something else, you'd be a fool to buy something you weren't completely happy with.

There was this soccer mum who was excited about buying a new Puslar/ Tida crappola thing. She had her heart set on white, the dealer told her I haven't got one like that here have a silver one. ok. I just don't get buying something you're no happy with?

The front gutters on the hard top to stop the water running in off the roof when you open the doors.

Not really anything at all about the design of the vehicle. Its pretty bloody good as it is (when you consider the intended use of the vehicle).

What would be great to change is the important bits like the steering which is comprised entirely of trash. Nearly everything else seems to have been built to just get the job done (ie: a bit cheap and nasty) - I wouldn't be overly surprised if the JK becomes a bit like the Grand Cherokees in due time with electrical faults as the low quality wiring degrades. It is a shame for us Australians that we are used to much longer lasting vehicles than what the Americans and Europeans expect.

Would have been nice to have say a German do the engine/gearbox programming too - the 545rfe's decisions to throttle input aren't the most graceful things in the world.

Every new car has something wrong with it depending on everyones personal preferences. I love my Jeep. Nothing I hate about it. Its a Jeep and they are made differently to other cars so of course things will be different
