Spends more time in the shop than on the road.

Purchased the top of the line Rubicon unlimited with the Hard Rock edition package on top. Have owned since new and with less than 60k miles, have had the rad replaced, both front axle seals, and a transfer case leak repaired 5 times and it is still leaking, marks my driveway like an incontinent dog. Friends ask that I park it on the road so it doesn't stain their driveway. Embarrassing. Highly unreliable, afraid to take it off-road for fear of breakdown, can't even use it as intended. I will not venture on long trips as doubtful I will make it there and back. Mileage is also very poor, not as advertised. Dealing with warranty issues has been a nightmare and it has been in the shop for repairs more times than off pavement. Every dealer repair has resulted in the loss of my vehicle for at least 3 days due to "parts availability issues". I will never buy another Jeep/Chrysler product and suggest you steer clear.

One great Jeep, with extras....

The Jeep could help you out in weather, rain, snow, and dirt. Summer can take the top, doors off. All who owns a Jeep, are helpful, and hand wave, as you drive by. Comfortable seats, can haul, tow, extract, when needed. 4 wheel drive, in tight spots.

Jeep !

I’ve been a Jeep guy all my life, always owned older ones . This 2016 is definitely a Jeep but with a lot of the new comforts that come with most any new vehicle. I love it!

Came a long way

We own a 2000 and currently purchased this 2016 75th Anniversary Edition and they have came a long way. Still looks and feels like a Jeep with many more creature comforts. Lots of leg room (I’m 6’2”) seats feel great, radio sounds good, needs a little more umph on the bottom end. But overall we love it.

Love my 4 door Rubicon

So this vehicle is so much fun. It’s great in the summer and even more fun in the winter!! Only complaint is that the leather seats are hard and not great for long trips! I usually take it if we are going less than 3 hours. Anything more and it’s pretty rough on the back side.

Jeep Wrangler upgrades in 2016

Finally Jeep upgrades that you need: 285 HP engine that gets 21 MPG, side air bags as an option, automatic 5 speed, steel bars in side doors, automatic window and door openers, remote mirror control. Important is that they can be easily towed even with automatic transmission.

Wrangler lover in cleveland

I have wanted a wrangler for years. I bought it in October 2015. No regrets. It is pricy but worth it. Only 1 problem I had with it. The defrost fan was rattling at about 15,000 miles. Fixed under warranty. Love the JK body 2 door. I wanted lobster red but by 2016 that color was discontinued. So I bought firecracker red. Sport model. I just love it.

Willys all the way!

Great car with lots of space, love putting the soft top down when we get weeks of sunshine! The Willys Wheeler option is super cool.
