As you know wranglers are not built for the smooth ride. But they have really improved all comfort aspects of the vehicle. If you have not driven one in a while you should take a test ride. I love my Jeep so happy I gave it a chance and did not just say it is a 4x4 jeep.

2012 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 2dr SUV 4WD (3.6L 6cyl 6M)

I ordered my Wrangler Rubicon & waited 6 weeks for my very first Jeep to come in. Within the first 6 months I had a transmission fuel line rub and loose all its fluid. I was accused of *gasp* running it off road. I had NOT driven this vehicle off road, it had only 3000 miles & sat mainly in my garage waiting it's first WV trip. It was bad line placement. Now I have 16k miles and it has been in the shop twice in the last 2 weeks for check engine light. They tell me they need to replace the entire left head and they will have it for several days. On an 18 month old vehicle. That is mainly driven by a women with her dogs to the beach or family trips to our WV mountain retreat, not off road.
Fun off road or in snow, but terrible maintenance

My 2012 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited was my second Jeep Wrangler and I didn't think I would ever own anything else. Like my 1999, this Jeep was great off road, terrific in inclement weather, and beautiful to look at. The similarity ended there. I would click the button on the steering wheel to change the volume of the radio and suddenly the Bluetooth would come on and dial my wife on the phone. When you put the vehicle in drive, the doors all lock automatically. In my case, the rear drivers side door would lock for or five times in a row - "click, click, click, click..." like a quiet machine gun. Is it the end of the world? No. But for $42,000+ you expect better. Plus, it's off-putting when you have company in the car and little things like that present themselves. The electronics were forever giving me issues from the beginning. I brought it back several times but it was never completely fixed. When the starter went out 2 years after I bought it, I traded it in on a Nissan Xterra. I desperately miss owning a Jeep, but this one made me gun shy to purchase another, especially as expensive as they've gotten.
