2010 Jeep Wrangler Reviews, Pricing & Specs

I own a 2 door Sport stick (my second wrangler) and use it for everything from commuting to trucking the family around to towing for work and play. Starting at the top of the good list is 4x4. I go through mud, climb rocks, tow and launch a bass boat in some difficult areas, and cruise the beach. It does exactly what the adds would have you expect. The soft top is great and easy to put up or down WITH some practice. Also the interior is made to get wet and dirty so getting caught in the elements isn't a problem, for the vehicle anyway. Its simple so no aggravating power windows or locks to break. Gas mileage for this type of vehicle is great IF you accelerate slowly and don't go too fast. On the highway it gets 25-26 mpg at 55 mph, 23 at 60, 21 at 65 and 19-20 at 70. Towing the boat only knocks off about 1 mpg. If you like working on or customizing cars, they make almost anything you can think of to attach to the Wrangler. Usually its very easy to work on. I installed a portable satellite radio in about 30 minutes and it looks like a pro did it because many interior pieces are removed easily with normal hand tools. Hill assist is also a big plus on inclines encountered. It holds the brakes for a second or two allowing you time to get to the accelerator without drifting backward. The engine lacks low end power. For example to pick-up my boat at most ramps I have to be in 4-Low. That's the tradeoff for good mpg I guess. The dash board is pretty cheap and lacks places to store much. Storage was partiallysolved by purchasing a new section of dashboard from Daystar. Comfort for family is lacking but improves greatly along with storage by getting the four door. Long rides are uncomfortable but not torture. The handling is what you should expect, it's no Ferrari on the road but then again a Ferrari is far worse off road. Traction control over reaches quite often but fortunately can be turned off. Probably the last thing is Soft top side panel storage. There's no place to conveniently store the panels on or in the vehicle. Overall you're getting a 4x4 convertible that is fun, tough, and can do anything you need it to. One last plus, the more dirty and dinged up it gets the better it looks.Nov 10, 2012

Always wanted to own a wrangler and it's everything i thought driving one with the top off is! The fun factor is huge! Also love the versatility of the vehicle. my only complaint is that the instructions for installing the soft top was nowhere to be found and that Jepp doesn't give you the tool for removing the hard top. Granted it's a $2.00 item, but for what you are paying, they should inglude it with the Two Top package.Aug 13, 2010

Round 3 of the Wrangler experience. A YJ, TJ, and now a JK. After owning numerous vehicles, this is still my favorite. Best equated to a swiss army knife. While it has it's trade-offs, it is capable of nearly any task you can ask of it. It may not the 'best' in any category other than off-road capabilities, but it is not a task specific vehicle either. ie. mini-van = haul people around, truck = haul stuff/towing. It has seating for 4 comfortably, rag-top roof that provides a convertible atmosphere, off-road capabilities, comparable power equipment to most models available, can tow with it, and has a certain "brotherhood" amoungst fellow Jeepers. If you like luxurious vehicles, then this is not for you, however if you have an adventurous spirit, and can make compromises (some wind noise with soft-top, underpowered engine, upper teens on fuel economy) then this likely may be a good fit. So far no problems in first 5K. Jan 26, 2010
