We've had three Jeep's prior to the 4 door Wrangler my wife is driving now. It's a 08 Rubicon and she loves it. No trouble in 136k miles. It only gets sixteen mpg with slightly bigger tires than stock. It has 4:10s in Dana 44s an I wouldn't hesitate to put a responsible young driver in one. My youngest is driving a 4runner.

I took my kids driving to teach what it will do, but also highlighted what weaknesses they were dealing with.
