I must admit I'm tempted to buy one of those new Jeep Wranglers, but I don't think I can swing it.
Why not just get a new MINI every 3-4 years? Better yet it should handle 90 miles a day for at least 5 years. Or get one new and drive a used one every day. Maybe get two new ones. One for daily driving and the other for fun. Then just replace the daily driver every 5 years.
