OP, All very truthful statements. But I/we didn't buy a Caddy or anything. I bought a JEEP that is a flying brick on the highway and a JOY in the dirt.

I can add that my 2026 JL is way to techy with too many computers/modules for my liking.
I initially wanted a TJ. Older, limited electronics, (more) reliable and something i wouldn't mind denting or scraping up.
The wife interjected the age, mileage concerns, mechanical repairs and my age as limiting factors to an older Jeep.
So I ended up with a computer on a 4x4 frame and wheels. Don't get me wrong, I still love it and once I get a couple thousand miles on it, A/T tires, new wheels, offroad bumpers (for more lighting), a winch and a decent jack I'll enjoy it even more.

As Forest Gump has said, "that's all I have to say about that"!

I believe he had his desired effect. Drop a turd in the punch bowl then chuck deuces and walk away.

I didn't perceive it like that. It looked like a shit post from the beginning, and seems to have had the desired effect.

Nah, obvious troll was obvious. And he got 18 pages of people talking about it after the fact.

So I bought a 2023 Willy's Sport for my wife (which SHE loves and daily drives most days). I get the appeal for its simplicity and being a "jeep" but after a few weeks of ownership I rarely drive it and don't care to.

Now I don't regret the purchase because it's not MY Jeep but I thought it would be different to hear from someone from my perspective on why someone DOES NOT like a Jeep! lol. Not bashing but it's like if you're a burger guy and keep getting hot dogs, other people prefer the dogs. Also this is a low trim Jeep so I'm not going to complain that it doesn't have leather, power windows/doors, etc. I know the higher trims have all that.

1. The biggest thing is the ride is harsh and not smooth at all, it's like I'm driving a little toy truck on the road with suspension so stiff it jars it's like driving with no shocks. Almost like a one of those plastic toy cars you buy from walmart with plastic wheels. It's night and day ride to my daily which is a 2026 Tahoe with magnetic ride and air suspension, that drives like it's on a cloud. Maybe if I didn't have that truck I wouldn't notice.

2. Sound insulation and road noise is prevalent, have to actually raise your voice to talk in this thing. Especially if your crusin at 80mph on the highway.

3. I know they make more powerful engines than the V6 in mine, but it can barely get out of it's own way.

4. Handling is piss poor, I think if I took a curve hard I'd be on my roof lol.

5. Interior space is small and uncomfortable, also cargo space is limited. It also has a tow hitch but the tow rating is non-existent. This is a #5 low complaint because I know it's just the design of the vehicle but affects it as a "daily driver".

Maybe some more, but I know if I took it "off road" it would shine.

But I don't know how you guys daily drive these things!

It was pretty much straight shit talking the Jeeps from the beginning and making mountains out of molehills. He only posted for an hour or so after, but this thread continued well into the night, and today. Still arguing over why there is a turd in the punch bowl.

But it really hasn't been about him after the first like 45 minutes or so
