First , I love my 2012 JK 2 door SAHARA , but it is the most unreliable vehicle I,ve ever owned. There's always something going wrong with it, mostly not really major thank God but a multitude of small things electrical system problems , cooling system problems , brake line colapsed , no heat , various switches go bad , the radio functions not working , rear backup camera stopped working . The fuse box was defective and that affected a multitude of relays and electrical components which the dealer wanted $1200.00 to replace . Again I love it and probably will never sell it .

I love my Jeep Sahara!

This is my 3rd Jeep and everyday driver. My husband bought her for me because he knew I wanted another Wrangler again. We live in Colorado, and go off-roading in the mountains; she amazes me every time! She handles in-town and highway driving great, too. I have customized her (bulbar, angry eyes grille, lift kit, etc..), which is all part of the fun!

Love the 2 door Wrangler

Test drive with my daughter’s and we both loved it. Drives like a Jeep and with 63k miles was nice and tight. Looked the same as the 2017 on the lot. No frills great little base model.

Just got it so still learning what it can do.

So far I like it very much. Haven’t got to test it much yet. Just got it yesterday. I like how mechanically sound it seems to be.

It's a Wrangler! What else can I say.

I bought mine in Sept of 2012, just before the new models came out. I wanted a small SUV that I could throw in 4WD when needed. I've owned bigger SUVs and I like sitting higher than most on the road, and my JK didn't disappoint. I absolutely love the versatility and the endless availability of after market parts. I bought a Sport, but made sure I had AV, Power windows, hard top and 17" wheels. Over the years I've butched it up with new rims and big meats (ties). Not too big, but it looks great. Added tube style front and rear bumpers and she looks damn good. I bought the hardtop for the rain in the PNW, but I take off the top and doors from the start of Juy until mid-September. I get a few sprinkles now and then, but it's a Jeep. If your looking for amazing handling, quiet road noise and a ton of power, find something else. But if you want the most fun you can have driving topless all summer, grab a JK. The new JL is nice, but so is the price!
