From the Back Seat

The Wrangler Rubicon is great for those who drive it off-road, but its rough ride and limited back-seat and cargo room make it a poor choice for a daily driver.
Jennifer Geiger
Wrangler Rubicon's uncomfortable, sometimes punishing ride reinforced the fact that it is definitely not a daily driver, but it really isn't intended to be. While I had no opportunity to test Wrangler's off-road prowess in downtown Chicago, its pot hole quashing ability (and there are too many to count lately) did impress!
John Biel
The Wrangler can't be considered a desirable day-in/day-out vehicle--unless, of course, your daily commute is in a location where there are no roads. In that case, what else would you drive?
Lynne Richman
If you are passionate about off roading, you can excuse the rough ride and military look of this vehicle. But if you can only purchase one car, have small children in car seats, transport older adults, and are above the age of 25, you should consider looking at other midsize SUVs and crossovers.
