The most fun you can have driving

A Jeep Wrangler is literally the most fun you can have driving. It inspires confidence and gives you a feeling that you can go anywhere, and do anything. Sure, it?s not the softest ride, and if yours is set up like mine (4? lift and 35? tires) you?ll be lucky to break 15mpg, but nobody buys a Jeep for the ride or the fuel economy. I was very pleasantly surprised at the amount of power and low end torque the 3.6 Pentastar engine makes, even with 35? tires. If you?ve ever driven an older Jeep with the 2.5 I4 or 4.0 I6 you?re in for a treat - the new power plant makes for a MUCH peppier Wrangler. As far as reliability goes - it?s a Jeep. These things didn?t earn their cult following by being junk. If you?re even thinking about buying one, do yourself a favor and schedule a test drive. There?s nothing in the world like a Jeep.

Fun, fun, fun

The Wrangler is fun and easy to drive, with a great turning radius and plenty of power. The fact that it sets the standard for off-road driving makes all the more fun. Driving with the top soft-top off makes this car the most fun car I have ever owned.

Most capable off road vehicle straight out of the

For starters, this is a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. It is not a car. It does not drive nor handle like a car. I have been driving Jeeps my entire adult life. I like knowing I can go anywhere, through any type of weather, over any type of terrain. Thus Jeep shifts smoothly and is very responsive. I must say I even like the heated leather seats. There are more aftermarket parts for the Wrangler than any other vehicle and I have already started personalizing mine with some of those parts.

Love my Jeep Wrangler!

While the Jeep Wrangler I purchased may not be the most practical vehicle I've ever owned, it is without a doubt the most fun.

Great Jeep

The type of Jeep that makes you feel like you own the trail. This applies to highways or the back trial. To own a Jeep is to own your ability to escape and rule the road. Sad to let Bruiser go. Nick name the kids gave it.

10th Anniversary Rubicon Was Made Perfectly

This car is the perfect jeep to buy right of the lot. It comes with anything and everything you would ever need or want in a car. It will hold its value and be more reliable than most cars you see on the street. I am truly impressed by the beauty and ability that this car acquires. Every time I walk out of somewhere and see my jeep sitting outside, its as if I just bought the car for the first time and immediately become overwhelmed by its perfection. Spent a lot of money for her but it was all worth it, the jeep is full of continuous happiness, the gas mileage may suck but the joy makes up for it. Thanks Jeep.

just plain FUN

the short wheel base steers similar to my 1969 Austin healey sprite sports car, it has great turning and handling. the 3.6L V6 quick off the line. towing 1300lb teardrop trailer is a breeze, you dont notice it is there. It is the most fun car to drive and a great sports vehicle. with the 18" tires you have great visibility and so do other drivers. one thing to remember jeep aren't cheep and JEEP stands for Just Empty Everything out of you Pockets. But it is worth it.

Entertaining...but

I purchased my Wrangler Rubicon new and owned it for a little over 4 years. During that time, I put about 30,000 miles on the vehicle. It was fun and entertaining to drive, but after 4 years I decided it was time for something a little more practical. Overall, it was a solid vehicle, but I did experience a number of issues with the radio and navigation system. One of the most frustrating thing about the Jeep was that I went through 5 windshields in 4 years. Something about the aerodynamics (or lack thereof) caused every little rock chip to splinter the glass. If you're going to drive a Jeep, make sure you are insured for full glass coverage with no deductible.

Coolest suv for the beach

It?s cool if you don?t have children. Lack of legroom in the back. Would be best if it didn?t require loads of service visits.
