Thanks in advance...I have been considering the four-door wrangler. I like to get outside, kayak, fish, etc. I am blessed to live in the upstate of South Carolina which allows me to pursue these activities. My last car was an Audi allroad...nice, but unreliable and not quite built for much more than cement and gravel, and small. I am currently driving a tahoe...bigger, but not quite me. I was excited about the FJ Cruiser...until I saw one in person. So...My questions....I would like something that is fun, dependable, can be taken off road, oh, and by the way...I have three boys, age 8 and younger.....Thoughts on the four-door Wrangler, and back seat for three kids?

I'll give you my two cents...My two kids loved the Jeep until they both got to be about 5 foot tall...then the whining began about the lack of room in the TJ. Now there'll be more room in the 4 dr. but be prepared. I've offered to sell the Jeep and buy a cavalier (just to mess with them) and that always backs them down a bit but it's still not very practical for anything but short trips.
I still plan on getting a 4dr. in a couple of years 'cause kids grow up and move on but my Jeep will always be there for me.
Just keep in mind if it's a tight fit, it'll only get worse in the future.
