We bought our's 7 years ago and it's been rock solid no matter the conditions. Short of routine maintenance and just proper care, we've done nothing else to it. Reliable, comfortable and bulletproof for us. We are actually looking to buy a second one because this one has been so good. Mileage, so what, its a Jeep. I'll forfeit a little gas mileage for all the ruggedness and reliability … of a Jeep. They're legendary for a reason. As they say, "There's only one". 'Nuf said.
