It's a 97 and yes it is still running great! No issues but basic tune-up stuff you have to do anyway.

This is primarily a Jeep forum so you know what I'm gonna recommend. The 4.0 in my Comanche has 228k mi. on it and still gets 20mpg on the open road and 2k miles 'til it needs a quart of the amber life giving fluids. Civics are the weapon of choice in the teenage car wars, but an XJ, now that's cool! Good luck to your lucky daughter with whatever choice the both of you make.:yup:

There's someone on here selling a built TJ for practically nothing. Perhaps an alternative to the XJ

Get the xj that was my first car and I loved it as for reliable there indestructible here is a pic of my xj after a 100 foot pine tree fell on it after I got the tree off all I did was put a new wind shield in that leaked like crazy cause a good part of the roof was caved in but I still put 50k miles on it before I got ride of it.
Because the roof leaked the transmission computer got wet and shorted out so I drove the automatic like it was a stick using 1 2 and D as 3rd gear and the transmission was still strong

Caught the Bug
My sons first car was a ’68 El Camino. He stalled it then flooded it on Beach Blvd and brought it home and never drove it again. I then bought my son a new civic and it was totaled on the freeway. Bought him a new JK after that. He had the JK for a year but sold it because the gas mileage was killing him. Now he drives a new VW CC.
Moral of the story, make you kid pay for their own damn wheels and maybe they will appreciate it more.

My daughter is in college in Nashville and up until two weeks ago was driving a Honda civic back and forth Tampa to Nashville. The gas mileage was great but I had no piece of mind, with her in such a small car. I picked her up a 08 jk, no the gas bill also most doubled but I know have piece of mind that she isn't in such a low riding car on the interstates. My only regret at this point is that I waited as long as I did.

Taking gas mileage and safety out of the equation...
A lot of this depends on what your daughter enjoys doing. If she likes outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, skiing, snowboarding, etc, you should help her get the XJ. Just the ground clearance alone and the added safety of 4wd when in snow, or driving to a trailhead. If she is more of a city girl, then the civic would probably suit her better.
