Help me buy new Wrangler

[Dadio]

I'm going to buy a new Wrangler and I need experienced owners opinions on 3 things....
1) I can purchase a new '05, '06, or wait 60 days for '07. What's the difference?
2) Half doors or full doors with windows?
3) Auto or 6 speed manual? I test drove an '06 6 speed and really liked it, but I'll be using this vehicle as an every day driver. I guess I want opinions on the auto trans.

Any help with your opinions will be appreciated.

good luck finding an '05.

The '06 models out there are the last of them.

The '07 models are making their way to the dealers, but from what I have seen they're downright ugly.

If you can in fact get an '05 equipped the way you want, then by all means... buy one! They have a longer warranty and you can probably get one heck of a deal on it.

As for the transmissions, the 4 speed auto is probably still the AW4 which is an excellent transmission. I don't know much about the 6 speed manual, but if you deal with heavy traffic then I would say get the auto.

If I could find a new '05 Unlimited Rubicon I'd be real tempted to buy it. They are bound to become collectables.
