My jeep has lasted me about five years now. When it isn't having problems it runs like a dream. No strange noises, no bumps or rattles, smooth steering and braking. It is roomy, though I don't need it very much. It has enough space in the back to house my Husky when I take her to the vet. It encounters mechanical issues every few years and when it rains, it pours. Once the kinks are sorted out, though, it's back to smooth sailing.
