i see people complaining about this or that, it's a Jeep thing is right. I've owned several and sure it takes cash to keep them running right,but look at what your getting out of it. I 4-wheel a lot, almost every weekend and I gotta say I always make it back when others don't. My favorite saying as I'm passing them is "you wouldnt be stuck if you bought a Jeep". Thanks for your time and lets get out there and have fun in a jeep.

I Love My Jeep. It gets all the looks on the road. The styling is like no other and this vehicle is the king when it comes to the off-road. On road the ride is not to bad, you have to remember it is a jeep though not a cadi. Taking the doors off and letting the top down make driving a pleasure instead of a hassle.

First of all, there is nothing like a Jeep. What it lacks in ability it makes up for in fun. I regret not getting glass windows rather than plastic because they are considerably noisier. Plus, plastic windows are sort of a pain when you go through a drive through and its raining. I have never regretted not getting a hard top. They seem like an inconvenience not worthy of something which is an aesthetic improvement. Plus, I would like to dispel the myth that Jeeps are cold. A soft top suffices in keeping a jeep warm. The heater is awesome as is the air conditioning. Overall, this car rocks and I've loved it since the day I got it!
I love my jeep but its just too noisy.

Single guy, 25, buys new 1998 wrangler sport. Same single guy, 30, really wants to get rid of it. It's just too loud, too bumpy, easy to break into. Having said that; very reliable. Never needed to do anything to it. Simple is best, folks. Just don't plan on having it for too long. It'll drive you crazy. P.S. 4.0L a must. 2.5 is a dog. P.P.S. Sahara is stupid. Why pay an extra $6k for seat covers and a wood gear shift? PPPS. get a trunk added on the back.

Bought this Jeep from a private sale. It was a completely base model when bought except for A/C. Put new top, tinted windows, "Canyon" wheels, fog lights to pep it up a little bit. I replaced the radiator at 115,000 miles, power steering pump blew at 133,000 miles, replaced muffler 4 times and cat. converter 3 times. Chrysler had a recall on it but I was out of warranty and over the mileage.

I have absolutely loved driving my Jeep, bought new in 1998! Dependable is an understatement! Fun to drive, will go anywhere! Perfect car for our country lifestyle and around our town too. But still, it has a short wheelbase, so it can require careful handling at times! Not a good car for a teenage driver. The only problem we've had is with the instrument panel going and coming. Had it repaired once and about 6 months later it went back to working intermittently. Still love my Jeep!!

Missing my JEEP

My first jeep was a 1998 wrangler soft top manuel (sport) I totaled it in 2008 and replaced it with a 2002 (SE) wrangler and the entire frame rusted out in 2014 and was non fixable. I replaced that jeep with a 2008 X wrangler and although it was pretty it was junk (van engine) it had the death wobble and continued to pop out of 1st gear which nearly got me killed on several occasions had it repaired and continued to pop out! So all in all I'm now driving a Jeep Liberty I love it but I continue to look for a nice 1998 Wrangler Sport with soft top it no doubt was the best!
I still dream about my Jeep in my sleep

I had my 1998 Jeep wrangler sport for 17 years. She could turn on a dime. I raised my boys in it with a dog. Just attach the thing on the back bungied over coolers and Rubbermaid containers and camping we will go.

My jeep wrangler is the most versitile vehicle that I have ever owned. It preforms well on road, and exceptionally well off-road. Whether the road is flooded, snow-covered, or just thick mud, I have been able to travel down it. Were ever I go, I am honestly able to say that I have complete confidence that I will get to my destination in a Jeep Wrangler.
Good for short commutes..and that is all

Bought the car for short commutes around town. Ended up using as a workhorse. MPG is ~15 so that is brutal. Had numerous problems such as axle leaks, brake issues, transfer case replaced, and faulty electrical system for dashboard. Taken this puppy in to the shop at least 6-8 times and paid the piper. I only recommend this as a 2nd vehicle used for 4-wheeling or taking the top off and cruising around. All in all, not a very practical vehicle
