:cwl:

I find the Jeep to be so much more comfortable and less stressful, so I drive it most days. If I feel the need for speed, it's not the STI I get out. :giggle:

I'm looking forward to see which will be my winter favorite. I just love the Subaru with snow tires though.
I bought a STI in 2005 and drove it for 8 years. Was an awesome car. Turned hard like it was on rails.

I agree with you on the Jeep. Fun to drive. Love being up high. Find I drive slow as a default so no speeding tickets!

My JL is my daily driver.
While my daily commute is only 17miles each way it takes me 30 minutes to get to/from work. I love every minute of it!

When my business partner and I both had JK's we decided to purchased a Civic hybrid due to us having to commute between two locations. At the time gas prices were extremely high, and we were both putting too many miles on the Jeeps. I probably drove that thing 5x in the two years we had it. Yes my JK was racking up miles, but man was that civic boring to drive. The funnest thing about it was competing on who could pull off the best gas mileage :headbang:
I've tried to purchase other "fun" cars to daily drive with other Jeeps I've owned, but the only time they were really driven was when a Jeep project took a couple days.

My Rubicon is my daily driver. I love it! I drive about 23 miles each way. Half highway half stop and go. Best ride ever! I. Urgently have the top off and weather permitting will leave it off for a bit. We have two other vehicles but I don’t drive either, the jl is my preferred vehicle.

Rubicon daily driver...its a fun, sense of freedom ride. Feel like a kid again everytime I get in!

I feel safe in my Rubicon. I look for flooded streets and bad weather.

I know I can move my family around in an emergency no matter the weather.

I could pretty much buy any car or truck out there...they all appear boring and lifeless to me.

Hands down, I am JEEP...in every sense those 4 letters stand for!:flag::jk: :muscle:

Mine's a daily driver, though in the summer it has to give up it's space in the garage to a few bikes.

My commute is only about 25 miles each way, and we have a Grand Cherokee we'll probably take on road trips now that my Escape is gone. Unless of course those roadtrips are to get to some trails...

Currently have a 92 YJ Wrangler used as a daily driver. Once I get my JL, that will become my daily.

My wife and I both work about 2 miles from home, but the Jeep still spends 95% of its time in the garage. Had it 6 weeks and it has 350 miles on the odometer.
Had ours one week tomorrow and it only has 71 miles, thats going to change soon as now that i have it built, we plan on using it or 95% of our daily driving, saving our 2014 Durango Citadel for road trips, our 2012 Dodge Ram 3500 Dually for hauling our toy hauler. And i plan on driving my lifted, locked YJ every chance i get (cause I just love the little beast..:involve: )
