Because some people still like to do this with their Jeeps...

Not me but some people.

will it be as comfortable as a Grand Cherokee. No, certainly not.

however, I do believe that it is likely far superior to what some of you guys are thinking.

I went in my friends new one, I was not impressed. I drive a 3 series which is a pretty bumpy ride, the wrangler takes 'bumpy' to a whole new level. However, if you like that. Go for it! My friend loves his. Unsure how he plans to drive cross-country next week with it.

Chris, the resale on those are one of thr best in the car industry. You will not lose at all.

I have a 2017 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara. Great vehicle, wouldn’t waste money on a hard top... takes a few friends to get off. Soft top is the way to go.

This is my second wrangler, had a 2008 wrangler x 2-door. Bought for 24000? Drove for 5/6 years and walked in and sold back to dealership before my deployment.... got a check no questions for 20000? Incredible resale and loyal following.

Edit I would be hesitant to have anything automated on the soft top... old fashion soft top is way to go

Had this one for 7 years. Not a single issue. Yeah it wasn’t the smoothest ride but it still cruised at 70 with one hand on the wheel and took many 600+ mile road trips.

This is its replacement. A 2019. It rides so nice that I’m considering leaving the suspension stock.

I think the Wranglers are great short distance fun vehicles. Definitely not in the same league as a X5. We use one that a friend leaves at our beach house, I think visibility is a challenge, but in the summer, with surf boards and roof open. Aka removed, there’s littel that compares. In the winter it feels like an adventure truck that can handle everything but needs to warm up. I love it for the fun factor, but wouldn’t want to drive it for a longer trip, also egress is a bit challenging.

I have a 15 Jeep JK Unlimited. It is an awesome vehicle and can go anywhere. It is actually a really great vehicle for how bad our streets are in NYC and great for getting up to mountains and off-roading. The negatives are it’s loud as heck, ride is atrocious and you will spend more on upgrades than the car! I don’t think I will ever sell my Jeep and will plan to keep it forever. That being said if this was my only family vehicle and a daily driver it could get old. The back seats are also surprisingly tight despite how large the vehicle is.
