  • Absolutely love my Jeep Wrangler

    This is one of the best cars I've ever owned. It is so much fun to drive and I feel super safe in it. I've added lots of bells and whistles, which is part of owning a Wrangler. It handles great and can turn on a dime. I wish it got better gas mileage, but it's worth the fun to pay for the fuel. Love, love love!!!!!

  • Great 4x4, I will keep until I die.

    I love this vehicle, it will take me anywhere on Earth and has been super dependable. I really like most everything except the room in the back,however I was aware of this at the time of purchase. I do not plan on sitting in the back. It is a 2 door.

  • 2013 Jeep Wangler JK called Larry

    The vehicle I wanted when I was a kid. No, at 73, I own it. Bought it as new from Cochran Jeep, Natrona Heights PA. Haven't been able to put many miles on it 'till recently, but am happy and proud of it. Larry's got a 3 in. lift, a cool air intake, wide space wheels/tires and a host of cool accessories, lights, etc. He's called "Lizard Leader" after a dear Army Combat Drill Instructor and is decorated with little vinyl color lizards across his hood, front fender panels, and one large reflective giant on the sides. Larry's a local celebrity; but quite humble and ready to get publicly muddy. Larry's my only and all purpose travel buddy. Wave when we pass. OH, Larry's not a 2018. The computer would not allow me to register his year: 2013.

  • Uncomfortable ride....isn't it great?!

    The Jeep Wrangler gets bad reviews from people that review cars each year because the Jeep is riding on solid axles and is uncomfortable and especially with a soft top, the Jeep has a lot of road noise. But if you own a Jeep (a real Jeep), the solid axle and the soft top (and if at all possible, a manual transmission) make the Jeep what it is. Glorious. 79 years of glorious.
