General comments?
I hate this car and will never get another one. In fact, I am going to avoid all Chrysler vehicles as a result of this experience. About the only thing a Jeep is good for is driving around town with the top down on a summer night and looking good. For regular use it is cold, noisy, bumpy, and has had too many things go wrong. It also uses too much gas. It handles nicely if you actually do go off-roading (the four wheel drive is pretty good), but it's not worth getting if you only off road a few times a year. Only get a Jeep if you have a better car in which to do your regular driving and don't mind the extra trips to the auto shop.
