Wrangler owners - a question for you
I love them jeans there like 10 bucks at walmart and fit great. But I would look for the Jeep Cherokees same drive train better mileage and more secure. You can get a used 2000 for about 3 grand.
Robert, the jeans don't fit!
I don't have a wrangler, but have a Cherokee. Did I mention this is my 4th Cherokee with the 4.0. I get between 18 and 21. 21 being highway and 18 in the winter months. I would suppose a Wrangler should sure get comperable.
However, my daughter had an Impreza (I know, I know) foreign Jap crap. It get's GREAT mileage (way upper20's to 30 in the 30's) and has been very reliable! We do though live at 8,700' altitude so a 4X4 is kind of a necessity.
The Impreza is a littler car though, not as roomey as like a Cherokee or Wrangler.

PS, I hope the new job works out great for you and well, helps keep your mind busy.
I should have explained a little more as to why I'm looking into a Wrangler.
The idea of being able to take the doors off and the top off for decent summer cruises appeals to me, also. I really don't need the extra room a Cherokee offers, since I have the truck for extra hauling and towing and the XG as a nice five seat touring sedan. Chances are, the XG will be seeing small amounts of summer duty, just to keep it limbered up.
I have plans for a 427 build later for the F150, but until then, I'd like to keep as much mileage as I can on the little 302 just for hauling and towing. With trying to get financing in place to build the garage, remodeling the house, and getting all the projects hauled in, if it goes down, a lot of things come to a screeching halt.
Having a 4x is a must. Our winters are hit and miss. One year we may have no snow, the next year we may get dumped on.
Thanks for the advice on the Sube, Kim, but that's off the table and has been for quite a while. I'll start a **** storm by saying this, but I'm not sold on
'em. They have their issues, too, just like every car. I've worked on a lot of 'em over the years. And since I'll be the one working on it, I'd rather be working on something I
want to own.
