I bought a 2-door base model, manual, delivered last week. The only option was all weather floor mats ($160). MSRP was 28,500 plus transportation, so $30k plus tax, title and license. Yes, I too wish it had crank windows (power mirrors are OK) no carpet, so it could be hosed out (like my ‘73 VW 161 Thing). I’ve only put 110 miles on it, all on roads so far, until I get more used to it. The 7speed manual transmission is great; the only way to go for me. I was pleasantly surprised with the ride and lack of road and wind noise (up to 70, so far). Visibility is also excellent all around. The tailgate is a bit weird and will take some getting used to. Fit and finish are excellent. For $30k it’s a steal.
