My wife has always wanted a Jeep. For over 25 years she has dreamed of one day owning one. As far as the options go, she does have a few non-negotiables.
1. Has to be manual trans
2. Has to have a hard top.
3. Has to be 2 door. She hates 4 door jeeps.
4. Has to have a 6 cyl engine.
5. 2-3 years old, with low miles. This will be a daily driver family vehicle.
I have been looking for months, and it is extremely difficult to find a decent used Jeep that meets all these criteria. HOWEVER, I have finally found one HERE:

It's a 2017 Wrangler Sahara with 30k miles.
I've been researching common issues with Jeeps so that I know what I'm in for. I work on my own vehicles. We own 4 Volkswagens, so I'm not a stranger to working on cars. I'm not a big Chrysler fan though.
One thing that I have read is that the manual transmissions are a weak point. I've read about people replacing clutches and whole transmissions under 50k.
So Jeep owners, what are some common issues that I can expect, and what do I need to know if my wife is using this as a daily driver?
