This is the funnest vehicle to own in my opinion. A must have for the outdoorsy type! I love taking the Jeep camping, off roading, or even just for a joy ride. I enjoy working on mechanical work nearly as much as I enjoy the ride.Jan 09, 2014

I bought it as a fixer upper toy and have enjoyed every minute of it. I love the way it looks now and the feeling of freedom driving it with the top down/off. I wish it had a litle more power and got better gas mileage but I wouldn't take double what I gave for it.Jul 09, 2013

My jeep has the original 4.2L engine in it. It was a 5spd but we changed it to an auto for my kids to drive. Overall my jeep is good on gas and looks good too. It still has the original decals on it from the factory. We put a 4" suspension lift in it and has 32" BFG mud terrian tires. Oct 28, 2011

i love my wrangler. It is carborated so it doesnt start when its cold. When off road
nothing can challenge patches, I built him to perform! This car is super fun to drive. Especially when you take the doors and top off!Feb 02, 2011

traded my non-running mazda b2200 project for it, it's 4x4
and 5 speed standard, 4.2L straight 6 which is not the best on
gas but oh well , I LOVE DRIVING IT!
it's not perfect or pretty but it's mine!

I owned it very briefly. It was lifted 3.5 inches with 33" tires. First week of driving I gave it too much throttle resulting in the rear axle breaking. I would recommend upgrading the rear axle if lifting a jeep.Oct 13, 2009

Acceleration was good for a 4x4 car, even braking and
handling.
This car as every American car it needs a visit to the
workshop on a monthly basis.
For the appearance, it has a great design specially when
convertible
It consumes a lot of Gas which was a disaster.
it is a funny car specially during the summer season.Sep 26, 2009

she has a lot of low end torque which makes the acceleration pretty slow, but its not like im trying to race over boulders or anything. the fun factor is VERY high. if you love the outdoors youll love a jeep.Sep 05, 2009

my second jeep and this one is standard!! fixing it up from the ground up woot! the body is rusted out a bit but that's expected whenever it comes to a jeep this old. however with a little time and the right connections you can easily fix it to better then new conditionJul 20, 2009

acc-- 2.5 5-speed not fast, but great in snow
brakes-- excellent, ABS would be better
handling-- top heavy, better suited for off-road
build-- low repairs, the soft top can be somewhat noisy
app-- "There's only 1 Jeep"
CoO-- very low, 18-25 mpg depending on speed and wind
ff-- not for everyone, easy to dieJun 26, 2009

most unreliable vehicule i'v ever owned.
but man it can go through mud!
i'v got 4 1/2" lift 33" trail cutters
i'v done everything from motor job to axle work, but has to be one of the best vehicule to work on. Best thing is i don't need a jack to work underneath.Oct 31, 2008

Looks rugged and performs well off road. As my Jeep is lifted and has large tires, it doesn't do so well on the highways, but looks killer.

Face it guys, the newest YJ wrangler is over 13 years old now. Reliable, I think not. If your mechanically inclined these can be fun to drive and work on. I would avoid one as a daily driver.May 11, 2008

The Wrangler I drove was a friend's, it had like a 1' lift and big mud tires. I had somewhat a hard time with the gear box, but it had some power. Specially if you like off-roading.Mar 22, 2008

Bought the car on a whim, brand new. What a mistake that was! Cool appearance did not make up for an uncomfortable ride, bumpy and noisy. The sixsylinder engine was powerful enough, but the car was lousy put together. Once when offroad, I hit a bump a little hard and the engine actually displaced itself , causing nasty internal damage.....The car never really recovered after that, even though Jeep rebuilt the engine- no questions asked.Jan 03, 2008
