Yup, all city life use with very little off road terrain when heading to Rosarito for the weekends.

I'll check out the Cherokee as well, thanks!
Grand Cherokee is a better choice... Rubicon is terrible for what you want it for... It's terrible unless you are dealing with a zombie apocalypse...

I looked it up..and Grand Cherokee is ugly though...

But then I kept reading reviews on the rubicon and they're also not great- so maybe my desire for a jeep will have to end here.

The i8 has really spoiled me- because handling is amazing, I don't miss any M, it's fuel efficiency is better than most out there, the looks won't compare- it's just that damn trunk/back seat. Aka practicality.

Meh, maybe a 4 series GC. So much for trying to stay away from BMW

Get the Rubicon, they're a lot of fun even in town, you might get a lil humming on the interstate on mud tires but the stock tires are quiet.
The Jeep GC is boring...

I reached out to my local dealer and it has to be searched for/shipped considering I want it in stick they only have it in 5 speed auto

God damn my generation of millennials- ruining the fun for the few of us old souls.

I probably drive a wrangler every 2-3 weeks and don't see how anybody can enjoy driving them on the highway. I've driven some with larger than stock wheels/tires that you couldn't pay me to drive over 45mph.

Ford Explorer is pretty nice. Good size and kinda stylish. I like the newest Toyota RAV4 also. Very Japanese looking. Local cops run explorers and seem pretty good. Haven't driven one in several months so no input there.

A friend of mine has a white explorer (2015) and its white with black grills... Driving it one day I noticed people on the freeway kept stomping on their brakes... Took me a minute to figure out I must look like highway patrol from a distance...

Ironically, she bought it because - giant bulldog...

Rubicons are good to go in stock form. They aren't bad daily drivers.

My bulldog likes riding in the back of the RRS as much as he likes riding in the Wrangler.

Plenty of room in both. Easy access too.

Get a new X3 with turbo 4. Heard they really scoot. We had one about 2 months ago and everyone that drove it was impressed.
