I've owned two and am on my 3rd. Wrangler.
They are cool, and very popular among the people in my area including the young. Unfortunately, they are not what many think they are off road. As long as she gets extensive training in how to drive it off road, she should be OK there.
As to a first car, I wouldn't recommend one to either of my daughters. They are much more expensive to maintain, and they are not good highway cars. Lots of cars get much better fuel mileage, etc.
Have a family member who did buy one for her daughter's first car. It was sold for something else in less than two years.
They are not designed to tow much. Nobody I know tows anything more than a small camp trailer with one. E
