Define "need." I have an 05 Wrangler that I absoluetly love and will likely never sell or trade. Never had a problem. Change the oil every 3-4k (even though its synthetic) and rotate the tires every 5k. Do I need a Wrangler...tough question. I don't drive to work, I take a train. However, my non-work activities include a heavy dose of skiing, beachgoing (meaning driving on the sand dunes) and the occasional off-road adventure...perfect activities for a Wrangler.
