Justin -

I prefer the 2 door.  My fiance' prefers the 4 door.  They will handle,
insure, etc. the same.  The 2 door has a bunch fewer pieces.  But the big
bonus is when you and your friends decide to go somewhere together.  Whoever
has the Explorer or the car with 4 doors is always the first choice to
drive.  Now do you see why I like the 2 doors?  Plus, IMHO, the 2 door looks
better.
