Well, I have been saving up and want to start looking for a vehicle. 

I have decided on getting a Jeep. Not sure about the model or year yet and am not asking for that.

 

What I want to know is what Jeep would YOU recommend. 

 

 

I surf, mountain bike, go to the mountains and do a LOT of highway/city driving. 

 

I am thinking about possibly getting a 2014 for better gas mileage but am more curious on what everyone thinks is the better vehicle for a male and very active person. Price and all that will be worked out down the road. 

 

Currently considering one of the following, with black on black interior.

Thoughts? 

I can provide more info if necessary, I just currently want to narrow down my top 3 to either one or top 2. 

 

I think by the way that you have briefly described yourself, you might best enjoy the Jeep Wrangler. It's a very versatile Jeep, and it's a fun cruising vehicle, especially in the summer. Also, the obvious Jeep-ing is the most fun you can have with it. Don't even get me started on "customizing" a Jeep. 

But because you mentioned that you drive a lot, you have to ask yourself if you'd better benefit from better gas mileage, or a cool car that can have its roof and doors removed, and that can run over things and park in the coolest places. Either way, it'll be a tough choice. Plus, everyone knows the Wrangler is the coolest Jeep.

I have always been a Jeep lover and hope to get a Wrangler Unlimited in my near future. I personally just find the 4 doors much more appealing than the 2 doors.

I never liked the look of the Patriot, so I'm sorry that this post was very biased.

I would definitely go for the one in the last link. I do like an American SUV

I'm guessing the Grand Cherokee is out of your search? I've heard a lot of good things about them... 

 

Otherwise, either of the first two links I would go with. 

Go with the Wrangler, its has that 'off roading' look to it. where as the Patriot looks more like a city SUV

 

either 1 of the 1st 2 link's 

 

Although the first link  has 4 door's so it have more room in it then a car with only 2 door's

 yeah but a two door takes you less room, mean it will be easier to park

Maybe a helicopter? I would recommend the Wrangler as previously posted. 

I would go with the Jeep Commander

Thanks guys.

 

I really do love the Wrangler Unlimited, not much of a fan of the two-door though. 

I have a lot of experience with Jeeps as the current place I work at uses the 2-door as their main vehicle. 

 

I need to decide if I want the outdoors look or general city car look and plan on heading over to a Jeep dealership after finals.

 

I would love to hear more statements/recommendations if you have them. I will more than likely not make up my mind until after going to the dealership but the more I can hear from people not getting paid to sell the vehicle the better!

 

@OL, I am interested in almost all the Jeeps. Feel free to share!

Jeep Compass are pretty nice but, gas guzzlers along with every vehicle that's either 4 wheel drive, AWD or a Crown Vic .......

ok 31 years in the car industrie, by what your saying i would go with the 4 door wrangler for its of road capability and reasale value. i personnaly own a 4 wd patriot limited fully equip but its not the best for off road but for were i live its great, 30 below today  thats and 6 inches of snow so a 4x4 is a must .i was a salesman and finish my last 15 years as a sales manager in a jeep .dodge chrysler dealership, but my boss own's 17 different dealership so almost every make  and my first choice for a 4x4 is always going to be a jeep.

 

that would be my choice!!!!
