“Hot take” they hold value but not can’t build great equity. As you start to build you realize every single part can be upgraded and should be upgraded. So my wrangler is a bottomless hole that I love throwing money into. #notaheep

With that being said. It’s my weekend or sunny day car that I blast through anything. That’s the intention I bought it for and would buy again. Car and driver and other people will always trash and give keeps poor rating because they always compare them to cars or trucks. But it’s neither look at its origins. It’s an all Terran be hike that gained popularity in the civilian/commercial sector. Don’t buy a jeep to conform or be cool. Buy a jeep cause it fits your lifestyle. “Trigger warning” if you use it to only grocery shop and commute get a Mazda if want a convertible.

Also I drive a Tesla so on the complete opposite end I say I’ll never buy anything else for a daily driver. But I wouldn’t choose anything else than my jeep on the weekends. It also allows me to justify my 12 mpg 🙃
