Wrangler JK Rubicon, Manual or Auto?

IF it is the 3.7 engine RUN AWAY! If it is the AIR engine from FIAT< it MAY be a keeper ! The OLDER STRAIGHT SIX engines are BULLET PROOF! I do NTO trust JEEP very mush! If you want a GREAT FOUR WHEEL DRIVER that is COMFY and USEFUL< get and AUDI ALLROAD QUATTRO! You CANNOT go wrong an they CAN get to 500,000 miles EASILY! The ENG*IENS are RACE PROVEN and can be TUNED up easily to MROE HP! as well!  OR>>>try out a SUBARU! oR get a good used BMW SAV or used AUDI or BENZ JEEP like vehicle! They will last LONGER and this is why w may NEVER be a GREAT COUNTRY again! Our CARS waste AWAY! Older GM cars would even LOSE the PAINT before you pay them OFF! PEOPLE buy JEEPS for their 4 wheel drive choices and for a MYSTICAL rust free build quality, BUT THEY DO RUST and lose value over time. SOME have very LIMP engines not worth their weight in horse maneur! JEEP used to offer MANY different trans types and only ONE or TWO of them are worth ANYTHING! Try a SUBHARU! People, LOVE THEM and they DO last longer as well! The JEEP bodies are STILL not all that well put together, sadly! GOOD LUCK either way! You MA need it! DO NOT BUY if you cannot get the 100,000 mile or TEN year warranty! get a KIA instead!  

Auto for driving in traffic. I also like autos for climbing. Manual for mostly open road driving.

Cars don't hold value. 

Automatics are easier to sell when you are ready.
