Jeep is a rusty thing

This jeep was cobbled together and painted just to look nice. I drove it for two months and the rust started coming out. I took it to a body shop and it was 75% all rusted out

It’s a Jeep

I hated it at first, But I have come to learn the many qualities, people, and experiences that only this vehicle introduces you to. There is only one jeep.

I have no regrets owning this jeep

Good for off road and daily commuting. Definitely can take a beating. Also fully customizable all around the vehicle. Maybe not a family vehicle for the bad gas milage.

It's bouncy, but it's fun.

Jeep Wranglers are great for boxy off-roaders. Mine is the Rubicon Unlimited, which is longer, but still the 2 door model (pre-4 door version). They are fun to take the top and doors off and drive around. The mileage is lousy and I would prefer something sport if I had a long commute.

Great Jeep for fun, Snow and Summer

This Jeep has the look and feel for fun. Great shape and great in the Sun and Snow. Lift kit and large tires for better look and off road.

Bought for fun.

The car is exactly what we were looking for. Fun to drive. Excellent weekend ride. Nice off road vehicle. Soft top for easy removal to get the open air ride.

Gets the job done.

This car was fun to drive and made me very happy, needed something more family oriented. My fianc� loved the car and so do I, we?ll probably buy a new Jeep in the future but for now it?s time to sell.

My dream car since I moved to the USA

If you love rugged cars and are a passionate driver, I would recommend the Jeep. I take it with me for camping, outings, anything. The Wrangler always ready for any adventure.

2005 Unlimited. Best Jeep ever

I have the 2005 wrangler unlimited 2 door I am not sure why they only made these for 3 years?! The extended wheelbase makes a big difference in handling and the extra cargo space is definitely Italy a plus!

First Wrangler of My Own

Used to drive a wrangler in high school and was excited to get one of my own! Drives like a champ and no major issues so far. A little rusty here and there is the only reason for 4 stars but what can you expect from a used one? Would recommend to anyone unless you commute far regularly, I live less than 5min from work so gas prices don't hurt me too much.
