Yeah....but you're talking about a brand new Jeep.
Try a late 80's Wrangler sometime! Even late 90's (TJs) are a bit rough.

Its ok.....I like 'em too. :wink:, this is my first long term experience with a body on frame vehicle and I'm hooked! I love the robustness.
Well the rental had about 11K on it.. so you're saying quickly overtime, that robustness will slowly decrease to the point of a loose, rattling thing?As a former Jeep owner...they are very addictive. Definitely a labor of love with them...almost like a boat.
I think part of the points made were that the Jeep in new status will not maintain that great driveability very well. They, uh, "loosen up" quite a bit and pretty darned quickly. That's when they become much less tolerable as a daily driver. Throw in increasing number of trips for repairs and they become the monster sitting in the driveway much more often.
But I'd still part with cash for a good ole CJ in running condition with very little pushing. It's a Jeep thing...
An inherent "quality" of the Jeep...Yes, they tend towards devolving to high speed quivering boxes with meandering steering onroad and an increasingly stiff ride. Offroad, they'll still get you out to the middle of nowhere, but you need to bring a toolbox and parts to assure you can make it back.Well the rental had about 11K on it.. so you're saying quickly overtime, that robustness will slowly decrease to the point of a loose, rattling thing?
lack or power? My E feels just as indadequate in the power department. At least the 6 cylinder in the wrangler doesn't get as loud as it the engine in the E.I traded a 08 Wrangler for my Element. I loved the Wrangler. My only complaint was the lack of power and the horrible shifting automatic transmission. I had it for 2 years and it was never in the shop for any repairs. I would still have it but after 3 surgeries this summer, it was very hard for me to climb into. The new ones are great vehicles...
