I thought some of the "cons" were "PROS"!

And my Jeep is my daily driver

Great read.......but a CON that left me scratching my head was ......If you need space for hauling things (luggage, groceries, etc.), the Wrangler won't do it for you.

Seems to me when we tested other sized SUV's the Unlimited Wrangler had more space for cargo than any other's we tested????

Mostly agree also. Think this was targetted at the 2 door. Some of the comments like the one TripleJeep mentioned about room were true for the 2 door, but not 4 door version.

Of course there is a few others like comfort, compared to my 91 YJ with 3" lift this thing is smooth ride! Hell it rides as nice or nicer than her 4 door focus!

But the article is right, there are many things that alot of drivers would not like. But for me, the thing rides nice, and does what I want. Wouldn't mind more power and better fuel economy, but I didn't buy it for that.

I prefer My JEEP over any vehicle. I feel extremely safe in it. But the article is still not true. Let me sum it up......Jeep, it's a way of life! You just wouldn't understand!

Amen to that, I like to think my adventurous side got my wife hooked into Jeeping, but I have to give the Jeep credit
