It seems like you've already made up your mind, so I'll just say good choice.
Most of Jeep's lineup has been suburbanized, but the Wrangler still holds true to its roots. My XJ is about to be hauled away today after being totaled and even though it's a rusty old rig, it's been one of my favorite vehicles.
There really is something addicting about being behind the wheel of a car that feels totally unstoppable, whether it's snow, mud, bumps, or curbs.
To anyone who complains about ride quality or lack of creature comforts, you're missing the point entirely. That's like being upset that an M3 gets worse gas mileage than a Prius.
