I'm 46, wife is 48. First Jeep was the '06 TJ bought in Jan 09. Then came the JK in September 09. Out went the Boxster, the 911, and the Cayenne. Love the Jeep's; best move I ever made where cars/trucks/suv's are concerned. wish i had discovered jeep a long time ago!!!

I'm 19.
Most of my friends subscribe to the onanistic tribe that make the roads a dangerous place as all their cars do 0-60mph under 6 seconds. So having a Jeep is quite unusual in my friend circle. But I've already got one of my mates to sell his Golf GTI for a JK and every time I take mates on a trail their opinion of Jeep completely changes. JK's may be slow but they'll take you anywhere and you feel awesome while you're going there. And that's priceless. I'd much rather have a slow car (rip kitten) and an amazing lifestyle that comes with it than have a speedster that'll get me to the next red light where I have to stop and all the other slow cars just catch up anyway.
My first experience of the off-road world was in Jeep when my uncle took me wheeling in his Grand Cherokee when I still about 11. I fell inlove with offroading then and I've reading 4x4 books and watching every training video I could get my hands on since. And when the time came for me to get behind the steering wheel I knew it could be nothing else other than a Jeep.
My other first car options were the BMW 135i, VW Golf R32 and the Mercedes SLK 55 AMG.
They were all very cool cars, but the Jeep and everything it represents and the lifestyle that comes with it blows anything else out of the water.
I absolutely love my Rubicon Unlimited and couldn't be happier with it.
Well that's just my two cents

I am 19 and just purchased my first jeep. 2010 4-door manual sahara. although a lot of my friends have jeeps i think it could go either way. it is a comfortable ride and it has a lot of room. I think the 4 door capability makes it user friendly for an everyday drive and the fact that the majority of the jeeps for sale on the lot are automatics makes it even more of a family truck. Plus I dont think there is anything wrong with having an every day driver that (on the weekends) can be your toy too. But thats just my opinion i could be wrong, thats up to you and the Mrs.

I am 44 and this is my 3rd jeep. We bought a 98 sport in Chili pepper red. Had to sell it when we bought our 2nd house.
Bought a 2001 sport in Amber fire pearl(Metalic Copper) it had a dana 44 and limited slip. Had to sell it when we built our 3rd and final house.(what a nightmare).
Bought our current jeep 2009 Rubicon Unlimited in Deep water blue. By far the best. Lifted it 4" added 37's , changed the gears etc...$$$. $8000.00 later, it's my daily driver and I love it!
It is the best driving lifted 4x4 I have ever had, and the most capable off road. I have had everything from a 83 Toyota 4x4 on 36's to Chevy blazers to an F150 on 39" swampers.
I wouldn't trade it for any of them. My wife drives it on the days that I don't.
