When I return home I am going to be buying a new daily. I have wanted a wrangler for a while. They are fun during the summer, good in the snow, and reliable. But they are noisy, cold, and dont get the best miliage. I think it would be an enjoyable vehicle but I dont know if it would be the most practicle thing. I have found some I really like with under 50k on it for around 10,000. For a little bit more I have seen some really nice trailblazers. They are prob more comfortable, a little better mpg, and alright in the snow. I just am starting to think about diff things like long drives, more luxury, more up to date options, practicality, better mpg, and bang for the buck. I dont want to buy something and say I wish I bought something else. Help with some ideas and opinions though. I love cruising with the top off of a wrangler during the summer but I dont know if its the best choice for every other application.
Must haves:
12k range
easy to obtain with lower miles
4 wheel drive
decent amount of room
