Skip the Wrangler. Crude, unstable, etc. Bypass 4X4s because in town, it's just extra weight and complexity you're hauling around.
Look at a Grand Cherokee or vintage XJ Cherokee. Same bulletproof straight 6 in both. Automatic transmissions can be a problem after 130K or so. Some Vintage XJs had 5-speeds, and that might be the sweet spot. Either that, or hold back money for a rebuilt automatic when the time comes.

Not the same thing. The whole point is living the idea of a Wrangler - soft top, noisy, cold, etc. She likes that kind of thing in short doses.
