I've Always Loved Jeeps

This is the 3rd Jeep Wrangler I have owned, so I'm a little biased. I love driving them though. They are powerful. I love taking them mudding. I love going on drives with the family when the top is off. They are fun vehicles. If you are looking for a 4WD, but are wanting a smoother, quiet ride, this isn't for you. If you are looking for a car to save on gas, this definitely isn't for you. If you are looking for a great value, a Jeep isn't for you. If you are looking for something comfortable, this isn't for you. However, if you are looking for something fun that can go basically anywhere, then get a Wrangler. However, if you're going to spend the money on one, use it for what they're meant for!

Jeep Wrangler 2009

Make sure tires are ok, check soft top for any holes. Make sure you are ok getting into the back seat, it is a very tight space.

Super SUV

Most reliable SUV, holds it's resale better than any other 4x4. If you buy it, take care of it, you can almost get your money back at trade time.

2009 Jeep Wrangler

Great vehicle! It is every car put into one. Tow's and drives like a truck/suv, small enough to be very maneuverable (I have the two door), and is better than a convertible since you can also take off the doors! Of course 4X4 is a plus.

It's a Jeep Thing

I have a 2009 Jeep Wrangler X and I've added a 3" Teraflex lift kit and 33" Pro Comp Xtreme M/T tires. Jeep has come a long way with the JK (2007-2011) wranglers in improving the driving experience for those who use this vehicle as their daily driver. The interior is much more spacious and the interior fixtures are nicer, but remember, this is a Jeep. If you are looking for something with good gas mileage, pick another car. My city milage is around 12-13 MPG (only 14 before I added the lift kit/ oversized tires) and I'm not an aggresive driver by any means. Highway, I've gotten around 15-16. As far as performance, you aren't going to beat many vehicles off the line but wander off the pavement and there isn't another vehicle on the market that performs at the level of this Jeep.

Outstanding find

I couldn't believe how clean the car was, it looked it came off of the showroom floor. Driving it home was so easy. Cars.com, did a great job.

jeep wrangler

At age 56 , with regular maintenance ,I expect this to be this the last Wrangler I'll need to own ... All my previous Wranglers were leases, this one is a buy and that makes for much more personal care and accessorys....

My New car

Just got my Wrangler. Always been a Jeep fan but they really should work on the engine. For a car that cost $25,000 to $45,000 new, it really needs a more powerful engine. I had mine modified after I got it. I added Magnaflow dual exhaust, K&N Cold Air Intake and Superchip programming and now it runs great.
