I've had Wranglers my whole life and one JGC Hemi. I absolutely love my new '14 Trail Premium. I can't imagine more bells & whistles on a JGC. They feel too much like a car to me. If I wanted a sedan...I would get one. This is my third T4R and hands down Chrysler sadly doesn't hold a candle...
Leasing results in a couple hundred less per month in a payment. So you can get into "more" vehicle than you might afford if you purchased. HOWEVER, you aren't paying down the principal nearly as fast as you would if purchasing. So at the end of three years you will have far more "equity"...
