"This is a fun car if it is summer and the top is off, otherwise you will grow tired of it. 4.0L 6cyl engine has decent, but not good power. However, the gas mileage is horrible. Real world MPG is about 12 city 14 hwy. Be prepared to spend a lot of $$$ of gas."

"This truck is freaking awesome. I have the hardtop which makes the jeep quieter on the highway. I but bought the chaos wheels from discount tires and the make the truck look totally different. IL6 is the reason I got the TJ. Bought used with 16k miles"

"Just bought one used yesterday with 53k miles. Boy this thing is a completely different ride than the Grand Cherokee. I own a 2006 Grand Cherokee too. This things a street legal ATV compared to the grandmother mobile. Great power even with the huge Firestone Devastation A/T's and 4 inch lift. If price isn't an option, get one with the lowest miles possible, and make it a lifelong love of yours. Oh and an added bonus, my name is TJ, so I just say they modeled it after me, haha."

"This 2006 Jeep Wrangler (long wheel-base "LJ") is my sixth Jeep. I've previously owned two Cherokees, a Grand Cherokee, a 2003 Wrangler, and a 2008 four-door Wrangler. I traded in the 2003 for the 2008 because my wife and I needed the extra room offered by the four-door, but was so disappointed in the absolute lack of quality and reliability of the 2008, I only kept it for sixteen months before trading it in for my 2006 Wrangler. The long-wheelbase was only built from 2004 - 2006, and offers a perfect combination of extra room and the capability and reliability of the 1997-2006 TJ. I plan on keeping this Jeep for a very long time."

"I've recently bought this vehicle used with only 12,600 miles on it. Fell in love with this yellow beast at first sight with aftermarket 33" tires, cool looking wheels, Skyjacker suspension and AEM intake system. I've been lusting after one of these for over three years and I've finally purchased one; my first ever. It makes going to work easy, however with an inline 6 manual transmission it has a serious addiction to fuel....Ouch!!! But it's my toy vehicle and I love this beast."

"Other than brake work at 13000 miles I have had no trouble, but plenty of pleasure from my Wrangler X. It's fun and the looks I get are a bonus feature. Excellent off road and in snow. I have the hardtop so noise is not much of a problem."

"I can't see owning any other vehicle. It has everything you need, and it's fun. My first Wrangler was a 92, I ran it up to 200K + miles with only the transmission changed and the water pump + usual maintenance. The second was a 99 wrangler, but I didn't keep it more than a year and a half because it was an automatic. Then I baught my 2006 used with 16K miles and the difference in ride is very noticable. The gear ratio needs to be changed slightly, but the feel is very good. the steering is tight and responsive, the inline 6 will last seemingly forever and even this newer model is easy to work on. This is a vehicle you have to own at least once in your lifetime."
