I would get the PowerTech 16 4.0 litre engine with a 6-spd manual transmission and jet black in color. So whats up?

It is either this or a BMW Z3 so what do you guys think? I am only thinking that maybe a Z3 is abit too much of a girl car hmm.gif

i would go with the jeep wrangler, only because i have a 2004 jeep liberty and love it. jeeps are made very well and would be great for your first car.

here's a pic of it if you care...

I think that would be an excellent choice as long as you get one with a 4.0L inline-6... those engines are bulletproof, they have been making them for forever. Alot in choosing a car is a personal preference and price range. Rest assured that it would be a good choice as long as it meets your basic criteria.

I love the Jeep Liberty. My best friend's dad has one and it is an awesome vehicle. It reminds me of a car I'd see in Jurassic Park laugh.gif

But the Jeep Wrangler is awesome too! I use to have one but insurance cost where I live on it kept going up and my paycheck wasn't so I had to go with something I could afford sad.gif

I wouldn't consider the Z3 a girls car. Its a very nice BMW.

Ironically, the only person I know who has a Jeep Wrangler is a girl. hmm.gif

If you are too concerned about the Z3, look for a used BMW 3-Series (E36).

Hmm yea ok thanks smile.gif Any more people

well, if you ever plan on going camping, then a Z3 wouldn't make a great vehicle to use wink.gif i think the jeep would be more functional

I dont go camping although I enjoy running over stuff and driving on the beach etc.

as long as you realize that the wrangler doesn't handle like it's on rails, it's a great buy. i've been thinking about them lately, too, but sadly the insurance rates on them are rather high around here because too many newb drivers get them, then end up rolling them because they expect them to handle like sports cars

they look rather nice i allways figured them for rock bottom basic being that jeep stands for "Just Enough Essential Parts" i guess they had to change from war time thinking at some point biggrin.gif

rofl.gif thanks guys I might get this it looks fun to drive too

Nice vehicle, but don't make the mistake of getting the 4 cylinder model. Worse on fuel, underpowered, and lame.

I see alot of this vehical being used for only camping etc. I dont think I would do that kind of stuff once hmm.gif It is fine for normal use in the city and **** too right, i mean why wouldnt it be? It is just annoying me everywhere i see it, it is being used for 4x4'ing etc. It looks like alot of fun though like to drive i like the idea of a big car. smile.gif

relax, they're nice in cities...

if you wanna drive on the beach, this is a great vehicle for it.

The reason you see a lot fo them is because people use them for off-roading, there's such a HUGE assortment of aftermarket parts available for them they are the preffered vehicle for off-roading.

stick with the jeep. nice cars, cheaper on maintenance and insurance compared to the tiny Z3. think about it! you can give rides to more girls.

would you rather have one topless chick in the z3 or 5 topless chicks on the jeep while you go off-roading!!!?

there nice cars i really like them but if you get the soft top the insurance on it is really high since its so easy to break into

my friend who owns a body shop is repairing a Jeep YJ and we drove it around a bit... i swear, its the msot uncomfortable car i've ever been in. The interior, the transmission and the overall ride make driving an unpleasant experience. But i dunno if these 2 are similar or not...

I like my grand hmm.gif
