This car is actually worse on gas than my 73 Dodge Dart V8.  And it's definitely not as fast!!  Pros:  Excellent off-roading ability, very stable, fun to drive, basically unstoppable.  It's as close as you can get to owning a civilian tank.  Just be ready to spend lots of time at the pump.  With gas prices these days, I can't in good conscience recommend this car to anyone who doesn't have a serious gas budget.  I mean, seriously, it's a 6 spd manual and I barely make 300kms (180miles) on a single fill-up.  That's just sad.

My husbands Rubicon Jeep is great. he takes 3 kids to school and picks them up, goes to the store without being asked to go, runs all over town for me just so he can play with his jeep. He went to Dairy Queen for me and the girl in the window wanted him to give her a ride. He said ya sure If you don't mind my old lady going too, the girl walked away. My husband is 63 and this is his last auto so he got what he really wanted and he made a very good selection. It is heavy on gas but when it is your last auto you just don't care.

My third jeep wrangler and I wouldn't have it any other way. Still tough as nails. well set up and more bang for the buck.
