Very reliable car, fun to drive.

Best car I’ve ever had . Never had any problems. Jeep doesn’t lack reliability . Great experience overall. 3inch lift kid added very to the body of Jeep. Brand new front bumper with light bars.

Tons of fun.

Very reliable vehicle. Purchased for weekend fun and it delivered. Never had any issues except kids fighting over whose turn it was to drive it!

Mechanically unsound.

The vehicle went into a death wobble during the test drive. The frame had some structural issues. The interior has been underwater without properly drying out. The soft top was in various states of disintegration. Grossly over priced for the condition.

Best all-season car I've owned and a fun drive.

This car was perfect for my lifestyle. I have taken it through 9-feet of snow during winter, and it carried my snowboard equipment along with 2 others and their equipment. It has sufficient space even though it's a 2 door! It's a real fun Manual-transmission drive and can kick up some dirt if taken off-road. It's new edition of exterior lights can light the darkest roads for miles, which is necessary when traveling late at night on dark roads. With a new Heating and Cooling system all drives, no matter the weather, are comfortable. Additionally, its convertible top down feel with cool air on summer days is truly an experience.

Most reliable and cool car I've ever owned.

This car is as strong as hell. It never gets me down, and reliability was excellent! I drove the car NY to LA, ​and it was perfect.

Jeep for the test of my life

I’ve had 2 wranglers now and have never had an issue with either. I’d say the only con of my ‘08 is no sirius radio and no volume control on the steering wheel. everything else about this vehicle is the 100% perfect.

Unreliable car prone to breakdown

I loved this Jeep when I bought it. But, the amount of repairs on it is beyond reasonable. I've had to completely replace the engine, now I have to have the transmission rebuilt. There's constant problems left and right. Stay away from this model. It's been more of a headache than a blessing to have this car. I've owned it for 7 years, 7 miserable years. Repair after repair.

Most fun car ever.

This car was the best first car and my dream car. So much fun on and off road. So reliable and safe. The soft top was always fun on nice days.
