I've found with Wranglers that you either love them or are indifferent. Go for a test drive in one and see if you like them.

When I graduated from university i got a 2012 Wranlger Sport (2 Door). It was the base model, as cheap as I could get, no frills. For what I wanted, I loved it. Totally reliable, fun to drive, capable in snowy or poor conditions, top down in summer (which everyone loves) 4x4, etc. Some of the bad, however, was because I didn't spend extra on better tires, they were to run of the mill all seasons.... which are ok for traction in 4x4, but obviously do nothing for stopping on bad roads.... I found I would have liked to have a few more extras as well. Additionally, I ended up getting my soft top slashed like 3 times (granted, it was within a really short time period, so it was obviously someone ####ing with me... such is the luck of inner city living) which sucked, but aside from that I really didn't mind soft top only.

I ended up changing up to a 2014 4 door Unlimited in October, and I can agree, once you go up to the 4 door, there really isn't going back, as well, the added benefits that come with an upgraded trim class is very, very nice. All in all, I have to say I really like this model. Keep in mind like some of the guys said before, the Wranglers upgrade the engine to a 3.6 L V6 which in my 2 door, got ~11 L/100 KM and ~13 L/100KM in my 4 door. This isn't incredible by any means but for me is outweighed by a better (imo) engine.

I guess my advice is spending a small amount on THE RIGHT upgrades is worth it. New rims, upgraded audio, leather is a waste if you're looking for a price point vehicle. Go for things like an upgraded tire, hard top, 4x4 or AWD and some space if those are your needs. It's worth the couple extra bucks in the long run in my opinion.
