[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They're constantly given low reliability, resale and safety ratings from Consumer Reports and countless other automobile reviewers.  While some may argue the tough American image they portray, they're currently owned by Stellantis, which is headquartered in the Netherlands.  Everyone I know who owns one has had some major repair come up prior to hitting 100K, and many of them are extremely overpriced for the quality you get. (Grand Wagoneer)

Why on earth do some many people buy Jeep brand vehicles?

The obvious response I'm sure I'll get is "They're fun cars", but I'll counter with my previous comments and ask if a fun vehicle is worth all the above listed aggravations and warnings from so many reputable industry experts.[/quote]

They're fun.  Removable top and doors.  Serious off road capability.  Manual transmission available.  Reliability issues completely overblown (I've had 3 of them stretching back to 1996 and each (other than my 2019, which is my daily) has lasted more than 10 years with minimal unexpected maintenance.  Even if they weren't overblown (and the "experts" actually understood what Jeeps are about), the answer to your counter is "yes -- every bit and then some".  If you are adverse to Jeeps, it is very easy not to buy one.  If you are curious as to why people like them, drive one for a bit on a nice sunny day, with the top off, preferably on a trail or beach and then report back.  [/quote]
