Best drive train I've ever had

The 4x4 in this thing was amazing. I should prefer to be off-road or drive this thing through snow than all of my pick up tricks combined. Very responsive throttle, tough in line 6 engine, and of course a bomb proof 4wd system. Outside she looks like a grandma's car. Inside is nothing special. You don't buy jeeps for Luxory though you buy them to do work

Great First Car

This was a great first car, easy to drive and reliable. A perfect first Jeep for a Jeep lover. Although it is an older car, it still doesnt give me many problems.

Its a jeep thing

This car has never gave me any problems, I have always kept up with everything on the truck. Currently I am at 165k and should get atleast another 100k miles

Looks nice but beware

Pretty color, fun to drive but has had several equipment breakdowns I have found are common. The leather seats are very hard and the design of the transmission intruding on the driver area causes you to sit sideways.

Something always going wrong

I love Jeeps but the older models seem to have constant issues. The parts are hard to find and over prices. I am not happy with the MPG either.

It's a Chrysler

This car was everything I loved, performance, style, capable, but if you want to drive it more than a few years, you will have problems. Window broke many times, internal issues at year 6, and it continued until we got rid of it.

Most reliable car I've owned.

It is a very good car to start out with. Not a whole lot of damage to it, but has some dents. The seats fold down to give you plenty of space in the back. Great for hauling things in.
