I'd personally be annoyed if my UberX driver came in a Wrangler; one of the most uncomfortable-as-passenger cars on the market. A Camry or something is totally fine; doesn't have to be a Tesla, but should be something relatively quiet and comfortable.

To be fair, Wranglers have come a long way in the last few years.

  A Wrangler Unlimited might not be too terrible as a passenger... regular backseat, hard sides and top, etc. Not quite a "real" Wrangler though.

With the winter we've had in much of the US, a Wrangler would be a great taxi

As a Jeep driver I agree, they're definitely not appropriate for shuttling around most people. If you can find the niche of uber customers who want to go offroad though, maybe you could make a fortune.

Really? Americans have gotten soft. I once had a date who questioned what I was driving; I took out her roommate instead. I guess we all have our own "Comfy" zone though?

  But the question is mass market comfy zones, not niche "extreme off-roading" ones.

  He still had a 4.3 so they haven't gotten too soft!

    4.3 was only for the trailing 7 days. Overall I was still at a 4.72. Trust me, they aren't getting soft ;)

  A date is different from a service you are paying for and are expecting something specific from.

It's a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited... it's nice. So most people actually say nice things when they enter the vehicle. But, clearly, it's not a Tesla either. A Camry, as you say, would be great.

  Ah, yeah, that's a much nicer passenger vehicle. I keep wanting to drive for UberX a few hours/week just for fun (I like driving), but my A4 (B7) has a pretty small back seat, and getting the right auto insurance + umbrella + etc. would be a pain.
