A friend of mine bought a Jeep last year and it looked cool so we were thinking if this would be something for us as a next car.

But sadly I'm allergic to advertisement, so I guess a Jeep is out of question until they rethink it.

    You don't need to be allergic to advertisement to want avoid shit like this. The fucking audacity of companies these days. There is no place they won't try to shove these damn things to the detriment of every product, service, and personal moment. If they could put screens under your eyelids you'd have to watch drug ads one blink at a time and your dreams would be sponsored by AT&T.

    Yeah there's a huge difference between advertisements in free media vs advertisements in a car you almost certainly had to get a loan to purchase

    I don't recommend anyone buy a Jeep, not because of the ads but because they're built like shit. Quality has been in free fall for decades while prices have skyrocketed. Death wobble issues (Wranglers), motor reliability out the window, rust, more rust, just not worth it.

    I owned a 94 Cherokee and I loved it, and even though that 4.0L straight 6 had problems at least it would still run with bad piston rings, mysterious battery drain and holes in my radiator. The new ones just can't compete.
