The Jeep is a fun vehicle to have in the summer months, and you'll never have to be worried about getting stuck in the winter months. Sometimes we were the only ones on the road in a bad snow storm but we knew the Jeep was reliable and would get us from point A to point B. We haven't taken it off road to too much but when we do it's fun! I would recommend this vehicle if you don't mind spending a lot on gas/fuel. We live close to work and don't do a ton of driving each week but it seems like we burn through fuel like crazy. Also we have both the soft and hard top for the Jeep and the Jeep seems to leak if it is raining outside when the hard top is on. We have taken it to the dealership multiple times but they can't seem to fix it. We don't take the front panels off and on with the hard top but they can't find where the water is coming in. Only other downside to some may be the rougher ride. I find going over bumps or potholes is really rough sometimes, but we have gotten used to it.
