General Comments:
I used to have a 95 Toyota pickup. It was reliable, but uncomfortable, had a terrible turning radius, and in a slow speed accident it folded like a beer can. My JGC is a joy to drive. I have replaced quite a few of the ancillary parts, some due to failure and some due to prevention. Upkeep is more expensive than the Toyota, but the Jeep is much more upmarket and loaded. My son has a 97 Ford F150 and complains that the Jeep is too easy to drive and almost drives itself. He is right and I would not trade it for anything. Would I get another? Probably, but I intend to get another five to eight years out of this one.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Always keep at least 1/2 tank a gas in the older jeeps, it will prevent the fuel pump from failing.
