Mine is my DD. I drive 125 miles a day round trip. I have about 78,000 miles on a 2011 (mostly highway). Only had to replace the front windshield about 4 times so far...

70+ miles every day. I can't imagine not driving topless and doorless to work every day from may to October. I also can't imagine not having a kick ass snow driver in our winters. I've been dd'ing a wrangler for over 10 years now, no plans of changing anytime soon.

DD here 120km round trip 5 days a week. Selected my lift and tires to match my driving style....I bought my Jeep to DRIVE not sit in the driveway 5 days a week so I can be grumpy in something else.
Would not have it any other way....IMHO

I recommend the mini copper s. it's unique like the jeep, gets great gas mileage, and is fun to drive. Not a big fan of the instrumentation, much preferred my RX-7 or GTI for that, but for what it is the Cooper S is great. The CRX is good, too, but hard to find these days. I used to have an '89, and loved it. Also keep miles down with the dual sports. I've had a DR650, and now ride a Triumph Tiger 1050, which is a great bike for commuting, and even short road trips. It's a little rough after about 5 hours though.

I use my jeep as a commuter about 40 miles a day and I've driven it from fort polk Louisiana to Seattle twice since I bought it. Some times I switch between my jeep and my 1996 Camaro SS but the Camaro sucks premium gas, sucks in the rain but its fun to drive in the summers
