Let me first say that either you love Jeeps or you hate them. With a Jeep there is no such thing as perfection. Perfection is more a myth or a miracle in the Jeep world. So don't think that just because it looks like its in good condition, means its in perfect condition. 95% of the time they leak in the rain. My '88 leaked from the windshield and my '95 leaks from the firewall. Its more like a, "Perfect for me," kind of thing. I have always loved Jeeps, and probably always will. But, if you want a car that is bought and ready to go a Jeep is probably never going to be your vehicle. They will always need some kind of work. If you can handle a car that needs work from time to time or is always asking you for an addition or a change/tweak, you can handle a Jeep. The biggest problem they have is either they are underpowered or inefficient on fuel. If you are using it as a commuter car, make sure its a short commute. But if its Just for fun, I don't think you can do much better. And if you don't like something about it you can always change it, as they are so popular and there are so many customizations. You can always have your own Jeep, that is only yours, and screams your name and no one elses. They are amazing vehicles. Monday through Friday they're good for getting you to work and then on the weekend its great to take offroad. Quickly, lets talk about the vehicle itself. The interior is a little lacking. The seating position a bit like driving a truck or bus. You are sitting upright with your knees bet at almost a 90 degree angle...depending upon height. The rear seat is a little cramped and for bigger passengers getting in and out can be a bit difficult. There is not much cargo area unless you remove the rear seat, which I suggest if you are not going to using the rear for toting around people. Gas mileage is our next topic. I have a 4 cylinder with a 5 speed and I get between 16 and 20 mpg. The 6 cylinders I have heard getting up to 18 mpg with the right touchiness. I will say though that the 4cyl is quite underpowered and not a good highway driver, its tough to go over 65mph unless you are going downhill with the wind behind you. There is not much more to talk about. Just remember, if you are not sure about getting a Jeep, take one for a spin and see how it goes from there. Good luck and happy Jeeping.
