I originally bought this vehicle for hauling small things like gardening supplies. The vehicle is very solid and drives well. I have 80K miles on it, and have had no major problems with it. I would be happy to recommend this vehicle to others. The cons, I seem to have to replace the windshield wipers quiet often. The spray on the window does not work on one side. I have noticed a little paint discoloration on the roof. I have noticed a tiny puddle on the driver's floorboard after a heavy rain. I do not know where the leak is coming from. This vehicle has been useful for every thing that I wanted to haul in it. It has a lot more room than I expected it would.
Story
I once was approached by an older woman in a grocery store parking lot while I was getting into my vehicle. She said that she knew I was going to get into that car. She said that she likes to try to guess, which person belongs to what car.
Pros
Large storage capacity, drives well, no major issues with the car.
Cons
I have 80k miles, so of course things will be going wrong.

This appears to be the cheapest jeep they could make.. The lowest quality parts. I dislike the fact that is in CONSTANT need of maintenance. There really is not much to like about it now.
Story
I have no fun stories using this vehicle. I drove it twice. The first time the throttle body went out. The second time I put gas in it. I let the wife and step-daughter drive it.
Pros
The pros are it looks "cute".
Cons
There are several cons to this vehicle: The online forums are FULL of owners of this vehicle saying the same things: The sunroof leaks. This seems to be a constant theme among this particular model.. Electrical issues - window switches, radios, lights, gauges.. Just shorting out because the plastic covering on wiring is cheap and quickly rubbed off, exposing the bare wire. Throttle body been replaced twice. Now the engine mounts to need to be replaced.. The jeep shakes at red lights. Requires more expensive full synthetic oil changes.
