Jeep first car

Wondering if jeep is a good first car. I like the aesthetic and look of it but heard the shake and wobble at speeds like 60+. Idk if this is just exaggerated or whatever but would love to hear from others.
Speaking on specifically the wranglers or similar models

The fact that jeep still exists as a brand is proof that an alarming percentage of people in this country are straight up retarded.

The only jeeps worth buying are the ones made before the Chrysler merger, but those cars are old as fuck, and not what you want for a daily driver. New jeeps are expensive, ride like shit, unreliable long term, and depreciate furiously.

Do you really need an off road vehicle? Why not go buy a $2000 accord or Camry that will run until the end of time?

The wobbles not really that bad as long as you don’t put huge tires on it and get it lifted

How much are you will to put in for gas? These things are boats! You will be spending a lot of time at the gas station.

Second issue with all Jeeps: they fall apart! Except for the Grand Cherokee, all jeeps have durability issues.
These trucks also have no acceleration. Thats why it has 9 speed automatic transmission! They could not get that beast to pass a sedan on the highway.
I have noticed all the used car dealership are trying to sell mostly used Jeeps. When there is an oversupply of used cars being sold in a lot, wonder why…

Jeeps are uncomfortable and not really very reliable. But can be slot of fun for a first car if you show interest in doing work on your car and cruising around on 2 tracks

Jeeps are shitty you're paying a premium for the idea of being an outdoorsy 4x4 person and this can be accomplished by almost literally every car brand. Stock 4x4 chevy tahoe is as good as a stock jeep wrangler off road and has way more utility and power.

Any car would be a good first car as long as you don't let WowFlowz near it.

If you get one, have a fire extinguisher in the vehicle at all times.

If you’re gonna get a jeep, find one with a 4.0 inline 6.


My first car was a 98 grand cherokee with the same motor and the engine was fucking bulletproof. Only issue was that everything else around the drivetrain was falling apart bc it’s an older car, but the parts are ridiculously cheap.
