I've had this vehicle for 7 years, my mom owned it before that. It's been a great first car for me, handles very well and had a lot of good things about it. Great over all specs, loved that I had four wheel drive (living in the mountains meant there were some chances for ice and snow, and having four wheel drive made me feel a lot more secure in my ability to get around) I loved feel like I sat above many of the smaller vehicles, and as a shorter girl, this was a big deal for my driving confidence. There's plenty of room in the back for storage, but it's not so big that it's intimidating.

This vehicle has a long life that makes it high on the scale of reliability. Aside from the power you get to drive through sandy areas such as the beach, it has towing capabilities in the event you need to tow a trailer with a boat on it. I have had this vehicle for over 15 years, and it's just now at the end of its life. As time went on, the features did become obsolete, but the cassette player still works! I would say that as society advances in technology around the Jeep, the things that the Jeep came with still work. It has outlived the technology that it uses.
