I bought a Jeep wrangler in 98 new. Im still driving it everyday and have little or no problem with it. 6 cylinder automatic. I wouldnt trade it for anything else. As far as safety goes, My wife got hit by a small pickup truck that ran a stop sign. He was going around 50 mph and hit the left rear tire. It spun the jeep around 360 and only busted the tire and broke the rim. He never made contact with the body of the jeep. Wife was shaken up a bit but not hurt. The truck did not survive, It left the accident on a wreaker in pretty bad shape.

Its true gas milage sucks but its the price you pay for havin the jeep. If your lookin for gas milage get a piece of shit KIA. They get good milage but are made from recycled beer cans. Take a hit in that and you'll wish you had the wrangler.

At work we had a 15,000 lb forklift get off the driveway and get stuck in the sand. Two normal forklifts couldnt budge it. I hooked a chain on the front bumper and pulled that big son of a bitch back onto the hard road. Try that with a lesser vehicle.

Here it is 8 years later with 75,000 miles and still going strong:
