My wife, kids and I were all kind of checking out Jeeps this summer. They do look like a lot of fun, so we bought this 2010 Jeep Wrangler Islander:
I had it for a couple of days before I traded it back to the dealership because I hated it more than any vehicle I have ever owned. What you may not notice (or may choose to ignore) on a test drive is how gutless and uncomfortable they are. It's honestly embarrassing trying to merge one of these things because they're so slow.
Inside is also really busy with tassels, buckles, grips, padding, speakers and other miscellaneous do-dads hanging around everywhere you look. The tops are way too annoying to take on and off, too.
I think there are way better vehicles for the money out there. So glad I got rid of mine. Sooooooo glaaaaaaad.
