4Wd. Comfy. Spacious. Family vehicle. Drives place to place. Somewhat reliable. Not bouncy. Still comfy. Four doors. 2Wd to 4wd. Compact but does not feel like it. Goes fast. Soccer mom car for sure. Mom car in general.
It is decently spacious. (I get a lot of legroom,) comfortable (the seats are nice to sit on,) multiple ports for phone chargers (If you use a multi-port car charger, plus the socket found under the arm rest, you have a lot of options,) and a good sound system (the act of customizing the sound it my favorite.).
Size interior is roomy and I am taller than average female. Size exterior is great feel safe and easy to parallel park, also VERY good turn radius. Trunk space adequate and back seats pull down easily for more storage. On highways, potholes, and bumpy terrain the jeep absorbs shock easily. Also great in winter and snow.
I live in a rural area and regret that I did not have the chance to get this with 4wd. Lets in a lot of outside noise. Manual transmission is convenient now that I have re-learned how to use it. A little bit cramped.
Transmission issues. Spark plug issues. Fuel injector issues. Parts are all only found at jeep dealerships if it breaks. Expensive to fix. Impossible to find your specific car in Colorado. Not universal parts.
The mileage of the car is really low. I do not know the specifics of the mileage in the city or on the highway, but I know that in the city, to get a full tank, I have to fill up every 3-4 days if I drove a lot. On the highway, with a full tank, I can go 2 and a half hours of driving non-stop without filling up.
Not a lot of amenities, a simple vehicle. Otherwise I love it. I cannot really say anything I do not like about my jeep besides things like I wish it had a sunroof and leather seats if I could have afforded those. There's no heated seats but again this is an amenity I couldn't afford.
Oy! I put the cons in the previous question. The car has good response and pick-up with the manual transmission. It gets an acceptable mpg (about 28) relative to my explorer, which gets about 12-18 mpg.
