What was your previous daily driver?

[Gtrbt]

There is quite the interesting mix of previous cars. I thought for sure 99% of everyone on here would be on their second wrangler, at least. I'm new to Jeep. My last car was an '03 Hyundai Tiburon; drove it until the wheels damn near fell off.

My daily used to be the ATS-V which I traded for the Macan...which was my daily.
Kept the Macan S in addition to my Wrangler Sport.

I've only been on the forum for almost 3 months, but have become familiar with many of the regular posters. Some I'd like to hang out and drink with, some I would like to punch in face, and some I wonder if they struggle to walk and chew gum. So in an effort to better understand my fellow Jeepers, what was your daily before your Jeep? Or if the Jeep is just your weekend toy, what do you currently drive?
For me -
2013 Audi RS5. AWD, lowered with full sport suspension, a little exhaust work, a little audio work, and overall a fantastic driving car. The Jeep is at the infatuation stage, but Greta was full on love affair.

I'm ashamed to say a Lexus CT200h.... In my defence, I sold my 2012 JK rubicon in 2017 when I moved back to Spain and this car was all I could get quickly enough from the dealer..... Lame, I know..... It's FCAs fault for not having release the JL until 2018!!!!

2" lifted 2011 Subaru Forester. Which I liked for about a month. Then I hated it. Badly. And ran it into the ground.

Before that was my 2" lifted Nissan Frontier. Which I loved. But it went to my 17 y/o son when I bought the Forester.

I've had three prior Jeep vehicles and always like them. So when I got the chance to get rid of the Forester, I couldn't help but get the JL.

This. 2010 4Runner Trail. Great vehicle, does most of what a Rubicon will do, more comfortable, etc. but it's just not a Jeep. I still have it and use it for work though I will likely sell it soon.

Most recent to oldest since 2013.
2008 Ford Focus SE
2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo
2016 Jeep Cherokee Limited
2014 Jeep Cherokee Latitude
2013 Dodge Dart Aero

I put over 50,000 miles on each of the FCA products with no issues.
The latest one (Ford) is interesting since it was given to us with 314,000 miles and now is over 335K. It still runs great and doesn't even burn oil. I drove it for about 7 months after we got rid of my wife's Cadillac ATS and she took away my Laredo...lol. My daughter still drives the Focus when she can't get my Wrangler key.

03 Ford Lightning. I should have kept it and still gotten the Jeep

Traded in a 16 Kia Sorrento SXL-V6 for the 19 Wrangler JLU Sahara Mojito. Prior to that traded in my 14 Range Rover Evoque, P:rior to that traded in my 12 Mini Cooper Countryman and 12 Corvette Grand Sport, prior to that traded in my 10 VW Tiguan. Many more before that including quite a few Jeeps. My FAVORITE of all time?. My current 19 Wrangler. I get more excited every time I drive it then any of the mentioned vehicles. Including the Grand Sport.

Trading in a 650i Convertible when the 2020 arrives ...

Been a great car and I think I'll miss it.

 

[agpthng]

Since 2009 it's been either a cherokee or a wrangler. Before that it was the mini van!

 

[powelld353]

Before my 2019 Wrangler it was a Jeep Commander. That thing was a beast, 238k on it when I traded it in for my JL. Before that was my 2000 Wrangler TJ which I actually still have, 235K and still running strong, my son drives daily to and from school.

Wife had an 05 GT v6. I did intake, headers, exhaust, supercharged it, did a couple different suspension setups. That car was a lot of fun.

Nice!

 

[Speedy3]

A Grand Cherokee SRT. I needed to slow down and the Wrangler accomplished that

 

[daveprice7]

I was getting ready to own a JL by not washing the Abarth for a few weeks.... Also, note the hitch I added; I got some looks when I was hauling my 4x8 utility trailer full of crap. This was a really fun city car, but, I moved out to the woods this year and would rather not die when I hit my next deer. I've wanted a Wangler since I was a teenager (that would be over 25 years ago....) It was time.

 

[BacavilleJL]

Still driving it daily.
Hemi power all the way. It's not an R/T.
