Well, I bought the 4-door because it was the cheapest vehicle I could find in the area. It came fully loaded and the last owner kept it in his garage and barely used it (I think it might have been his holiday ride...). Anyway, I didn't know the potential of both the two door and four at the time, so really I didn't choose the 4 over the 2 from that point of view. I got married and got a little 4x4 for me and my wife, that’s why I bought mine. The cargo space is nice, but what it really means to me is an extra added comfort of space for those unfortunate souls that must sit in the back seat and endure my driving!
As for a trail rig, I'm already working on convincing my wife to let me buy a two door Kick. I found one in the next city... A mint '90 Sidekick JLX (loaded!) for $1500. And the neat thing is, most of the KMs are from being towed behind a motor home
I pray to the Zuki-Gods that I can talk her into it
