Seriously, do not get a Wrangler. If you're going to mod the Integra to the point where you dont' want it to be a daily driver, get something like a slightly used Liberty if you want a Jeep. The Wrangler is a horrible daily driver, it gets old really quick.

And get A/C. You'll be happy to have it in the Summer and will make it an easier sell if you ever decide to get rid of it.

well, i know i like wranglers, i used to have an 83 CJ-7 (same thing). but the gas milage was horrendous in that thing. i loved it other than that.

i heard the new jeeps arent excellent on gas, but are better.

Well, if you could tolerate an 83 CJ-7, then a 2003 Wrangler would be like a Lexus. :thumbup:

The 2003 Wranglers have the 3.7 liter V-6 now (I believe) replacing the 4.0 I-6, so it should be better.

they're still the 4.0s, the gas is like 18mpg avg, so not too bad

and yea the 83 was fun, so incredibly... manual, getting that thing in 4x4 was a pain (none of that power assist stuff, haha). but once in 4x4, it went all over the place. mine was also an auto, so the gas milage sucked in that aspect too. ill def get a 5spd this time.

Odd. I know the 3.7 V-6 found itself into the Liberty and indirectly replaced the 4.0 I-6 that was also in the Cherokee.

Maybe the new 3.7 won't fit. Oh well.
