This vehicle is reliable. It does not break down often and still looks good for it's age. That being said, if it does break down the parts and labour can be pricey. They are fun to drive around in the summer and very reliable in winter conditions. Makes people feel safe. For a family it would not be the ideal vehicle they are small and not a lot of space. For a 1 or 2 person household it's perfect. They are expensive vehicles but it pays off with the quality. This vehicle as with all well maintained jeeps have a very good re sale value too. They can be gas guzzers at times though. This jeep also has a lot of different accessories to customize it as your own. Also, you'd be in the jeep club!
