Jeep number 6

Only a few problems: low tire indicator stuck on once for 3 days then went off, one headlight got water in it and was replaced under warranty. Front t top had to be replaced on one side when new due to leak. Otherwise, no serious disabling problems whatsoever. We get 17-18 mpg on the hwy. Very dependable car. This is our 6th Jeep and we like them a lot.

2012 unlimited Rubicon

Recent purchase, but quite happy. Plenty of power and options. Ride is very nice at 75 and so far I get around 19mpg highway...not bad for a true off road capable vehicle with 32 inch tires! Good rear leg room, plenty of headroom, and the Sunrider top is awesome!

New Jeep

Jeep has really refined the ride and drivetrain. I've been driving Jeeps for thirty years and this is the best I've ever driven by far.

3rd jeep model owned

Had a Cherokee for 200k, then a liberty for 170k, now on to the unlimited rubicon Cons: Price on the higher side and they don't need to offer incentives to sell these. Mileage is so-so, but in comparison to similar possibilities isn't terrible Pros: power is instant and noticeable, great interior space, can't be beat off-road as stock, huge aftermarket upgrade selection, 4 doors When it comes down to it, if you want a 4x capable vehicle with 4 doors and the option for all interior transport (ie ruled out the Tacoma), you frankly don't have many choices. The fact that the top comes off and it looks so good are just icing on the cake

2012 JKUR

I love the new 3.6 engine. It has plenty of power, torque, and this vehicle can get you anywhere from the river bottoms to the mountains.

awesome fun

I have owned almost every vehicle that Jeep makes. This one is my favorite because it provides comfort and aggressive off-road aggressiveness. I have been waiting for a wrangler that has ponies as weak power has always been my complaint with the wrangler. Not anymore! Some folks would complain that the ride is too firm but they are not true Wrangler peeps. I will have this ride for a good long while. Love it!

Love my Jeep!!

This is my second Jeep Wrangler. This one has the Altitude Package. It is beautiful, also very functional. I love the 3 piece freedom hard top, so convenient and easy to use. All of the electronic features are user friendly and make driving and communicating safer.l I love the plug in for my Nano! I can play my own music whenever I want!

Love My Jeep!

I traded in my 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited X for the new 2012 Fully loaded Unlimited Rubicon. The biggest reason for the trade was the new motor. The extra 80 hp make a huge difference! Also, with navigation, heated leather seats, heated mirrors, and many other available options - I can crawl over stuff in luxury. I know many Wrangler owners believe in "bare bones" .... but I like comfort and fun. Owned for almost a year now - No Complaints!!! Love it! Thank you Jeep!!
