A soft top is inherently loud, especially at 65mph or higher. Don't plan on using your cell phone to talk unless it's on bluetooth, otherwise you will not be able to hear past the wind noise as you roll down the road. I love the responsiveness of the steering but, at the same time, realize that this vehicle turns on a dime and might not be the right type of ride for an inexperienced driver, particularly at highway speeds. The Jeep Wrangler SE has a small 4-cylinder engine that runs well and is very reliable. However, if you live around hilly or mountainous areas go for the larger 6 or 8 cylinder Jeep models, especially in the summertime when you need both power and A/C. I've found that to keep my A/C output, a lot of the power is tapped and gearing down is a virtual certainty on steeper highways. Other than these issues, the Jeep enthusiast will love a mild spring or fall day when a drive in the countryside with the top down is about as close to nirvana as it gets.

My wife bought this new and, aside from the top needing to be replaced every few years, it's a great vehicle. 112,000+ miles and it is as strong as it can be for a 4 cylender engine. Highway mileage stinks but, it's a Jeep, never meant to be an economy commuter car. You will not get stuck under anything less than a 3' deep snowfall. And, even then we were only detained for about 5 minutes until we rocked back out the way we came. We've taken it through some gnarly situations and, she's breezed through easily. I've driven Jeeps since 1966 and nothing else. If you want a full out, barebone 4x4, the SE is it. We added a few things to ease our aging bones but, nothing more than custom padded seats. Want reliability: buy a Jeep. As the commercials used to say: they wrote the book on 4-wheel drive.

This Jeep was driven at Camp Jeep 2003 in the Blue Ridge mountains. It's been through all kinds of trails and weather. This was even good in the snow for a lightweight. I recommend to everyone the following: Get rid of the Goodyear tires! Since I got 215/75/15 BFG AT KO tires, the Jeep has handled even better and it doesn't slip in the rain. Also get a tow hitch and replace the bumpers. I hope to travel south to the Ynes Mountains for Camp Jeep 2005 in California. I did purchase the sliding glass half upper doors from Quadratec.
Not bad but could much better

This is one of my Play toys, and does what needs to do. But my first new Jeep (CJ-5) I bought in 79 was better because of the 304 V-8 power. I get the same MPG it did, at about 15- 17 mpg
Excellent Choice

A Jeep is a Jeep -- you must know that going in. It won't get good mileage, it has a rough ride, and it is "plain Jane" on the inside. But, IT'S A JEEP and I love it. This is my second one and it is just as much fun as the first. I highly recommend a Jeep to anyone who wants to have a true original off-road vehicle.
