Husband wants to trade in his SUV for a new 2-door Jeep Wrangler. Is this odd?

How does it kill the planet?

The salty tears of all the impotent haters who see so many smiling Wrangler owners cause erosion and poison the soil.

OMG too funny!

Actually test drove a new 2 door Wrangler last weekend and it felt really cheap inside for its $50k price tag. I can't imagine what the previous generation felt like, because they say this newest generation is far more comfortable and nice. It didn't feel like it to us. I admit it has an interesting "street presence" but the inside felt almost like an economy rental car.

Yes of course. The Wrangler is capable of being driven in bad weather with the top off. You could put a running garden hose on the floor and it would drain. The doors can be removed. All that leads to some compromise for sure. If you want a nice interior, this isn’t for you.

I don't think the nice ones can be hosed down. The one we test drove had a large navigation screen and leather seats and cost over $50,000. It looked okay but once you sat in it and drove it, it felt a bit cheap. I didn't expect it to feel like an S Class Mercedes, of course, but I did expect it to at least feel more solid than it did.

This, plus Jeeps are just bad cars and the Rubicon is extra silly, a car for sorority girls.

Says someone whose off-roading experience is a grass parking area.

Keeps are not cars and most sorority girls drive sports. You are just jealous.

Yes they can.

I’m guessing at that price point you were test driving a Rubicon?

You’re not paying the extra premium for the interior. You’re paying for off-road technology. Electronic differential locks, sway bar disconnects, trail cameras, larger tires, suspension upgrades, winch bumpers, underbody armor, rocker panel armor. Plus an interior where everything is designed to be water resistant.


The fact that you don’t understand all that stuff sort of indicates that Jeeps aren’t suited for you.

Buy a Honda CR-V and stay in your lane.

You can say the same about a sports car, but an AMG still feels quality inside.

Yes we test drove a Rubicon. You're wrong about interior not being upgrades or the only upgrades being utility in nature. Leather seats, large navigation screen, better audio system, power seats, body-matched hard roof and fenders, etc. are standard and/or only offered on an expensive Rubicon spec.

Horrible analogy. A Jeep is more like a ATV’s interior. Spartan and cheap. It’s made to get wet and dirty and get cleaned off with a rag and a hose. It’s not a luxury vehicle - it’s an off-road vehicle.

Do you often compare apples and oranges in other aspects of life?

You can all the exterior/interior/tech upgrades on other models like the Sahara or others.

The greatest difference between the Rubicon and the other Wranglers are all in the running gear and body armor. If you think otherwise you either had a lousy salesperson or you weren’t paying attention.

Either way, you don’t know the first thing about Jeeps. That much is clear.


You are hereby forbidden from ever owning one.

Range rovers and land cruisers manage to be capable off road and luxurious inside.
