2018 Jeep Wrangler JK Sahara
T. Lars, Guntersville, AL, 11/09/2021
2018 Jeep Wrangler JK Sahara 2dr SUV 4WD (3.6L 6cyl 6M)
This 2018 Jeep JK has a rough ride, precise steering, acceptable performance from its V-6, all traits that a 2-door Jeep is suspose to have.
This our fourth 2-door Jeep, doesn't disappoint. This Jeep is still a Jeep.
It now has 25000 miles, no mechanical problems.
Great in town or on dirt roads - not good on hwy
Darby Bailey, Bellevue, WA, 11/01/2018
2018 Jeep Wrangler JK Sahara 2dr SUV 4WD (3.6L 6cyl 6M)
I enjoyed the Jeep driving around town or in the mountains but the long hwy rides were exhausting. The cabin was noisy and there was a lot of play in the steering wheel. When I took it to the dealer, they told me that was just the way they were.

Which Wrangler JK does Edmunds recommend?
The level of customization on the Wrangler JK is rather dizzying at first, but once you sort through the details you'll find a number of trim levels to fit a variety of lifestyles. For a balance of off-road capability and city drivability, we recommend the base Wrangler JK Sport with one of its many specialty packages. The Willys Wheeler, for example, adds to the base Sport with items such as off-road-focused tires and off-road rock rails. The midrange Willys is a decent middle ground before you hit the all-conquering Rubicon.

Driving
7.5This is a tricky one. Most Wranglers are optimized for off-road performance. Highway civility is secondary, so it's a below-average performer on the pavement. But when the road ends, there is no other production SUV that can keep up. And somehow its weaknesses are part of its charm.
Comfort
6.0Let's face it: Comfort is not what the Wrangler is all about. It's OK compared to some trucks, and it's more refined than the previous-generation Wrangler. But compared to most other SUVs, it is louder, rides busier, has a smaller interior, and has less comfortable seats.
Interior
6.5A compact cabin puts all controls comfortably within reach of the driver. But these proportions are also a disadvantage. Footwell space and hiproom are limited. The tall stance hampers accessibility. Lockable storage with the top down is minimal. But visibility is generally excellent.
Utility
6.0Stuck between the compact and midsize SUV segments, the Wrangler is a hard vehicle to place. Since its closest off-road competition sits a class size up, the Wrangler falls a tad behind in the utility category. A lack of cargo space and towing capacity are the main shortfalls.
Technology
6.0There's nothing technologically advanced in the Wrangler as far as electronics are concerned. The infotainment system is about as basic as it gets. The USB phone connection was often spotty. No driving aids, such as blind-spot monitoring or even a rearview camera, are offered.
