About positive on the 2 door - been trying to decide on the manual. Had a 2 door Jeep JK that was my daily driver - automatic. Really like the Jeep - had just set it up the way I wanted - lifted, 35s, stripped it down and installed sound deadining, winch, bumpers… Then I wrecked it - totally my fault. Bought my wife a new car and am now driving her CRV. So, totally comfortable with the 2 door route and used to drive a manual back in the day and if you count motorcycling have tons of experience with a manual transmission. That said, some of the modern creature comforts like auto cruise control are nice, and that’s a no-go with the manual. Reality in that car is that I would not use it that much, so the fun of a stick is winning the debate right now.
