The Wrangler is fun. I don't know if I'd want one for an extended rental, but for a day or two on the weekend, sure!

The models at YVR are mostly 4 door Sahara (I've seen a few 'pick up type Gladiator models). The top over the driver and passenger is easily removable, you can remove one or both sides. Takes a few minutes.

I do notice a lot of small rocks in the tire grooves on these though.. so I think they're getting a little use off paved roads.
