My '05 Mustang convertible handled like crap, but I gave it a pass because it was fast straight line and I have low expectations for a Mustang's handling, anyway. You could sure feel the body twist front to back between the axles when the pavement was undulating.

My current '08 Cooper S convertible is very solid, but it kind of has a roll bar thing up the back behind the back seats that strengthens it, plus the strut tower brace. No complaints with that one.

The Jeep will feel fine because it's really the same as any other Jeep. That roll bar makes for a rigid enough body that I don't think there is a huge convertible penalty to pay.
