re: Is a Jeep Rubicon a terrible Vehicle for Causeway Commute

All jeeps are poor commuters and this is coming from a guy who loves keeps. If your sold on having to have a jeep because it's a cool vehicle I get it. Just understand your buying something that is designed to be an off-road vehicle first and a commuter vehicle as an after thought.

I'd highly recommend you buy a Sahara (or sport) if your going to be on road more than off-road which I think is a given in your case. The rubicon is strictly a package that adds more off-road performance, not more bells and whistles. You can get all the creature comforts you want in a Sahara without needing to upgrade to a rubicon.

The rubicon is the worst commuting vehicle I've ever driven. It's unmatched off road, but it's designed that way and compromises on road performance to get there. The most annoying thing about a rubicon on road is the disconnecting sway bar. It will weave left and right while you try to drive in a straight line. It's a nice feature for off road but it's one of many things that just don't work as a commuter.
