Nah, Jeep’s get unfair rap. Like me coming to this forum to talk to actual owners and not dufus Consumer Reports and the like I spoke with many Jeep owners and joined forum way before buying my Jeep. Jeeps overall are still pretty basic and relatively easy to work with compared to many vehicles today. Go to Wrangler forum and ask how many have 100-150k, many. Other than radiator, the JK’s have been pretty good. I didn’t buy it expecting a Camry. The top down and doors off and going anywhere I want is well worth it. I plan on keeping my Jeep for 20 years, when things break I’ll fix it.
Now the Fiat is a different animal. I just like looks and it was fun to drive but I do agree about not trusting Fiat overall here in US. But yeah, they share same platform as Mazda. Other than turbo 1.4 engine and transmission is actually better than weak ND, they use NC which is solid.
My wife has only and will only buy Toyota’s. Honestly, I’ve found most of their vehicles pretty boring, yet super reliable. Pretty sure 86/BRZ is not boring.
