You will not like the four cylinder combined with an automatic and a/c.
This combination is well-known to be just a bad combination. Go with the
4.0L engine, you won't regret it like you would with the four cylinder.

I can't see how a Wrangler would be the right choice for you. Sounds like a
more "on-road" oriented small SUV would be a better choice IMO.
