This is my 5th Wrangler. 1997, 2000, 2004 and a 2006 were all new. I also had a 1995 used. You can no way beat a Wrangler in the snow or off road. The gas mileage has a bit to be desired but it's worth it for the fun you have. The 95, 97, 00, all had a 2.5 liter 4 cylinders. great 4 cylinders. The 04 had a 2.4 liter, and I had to downshift on every little slope. The 2.4 lacks a lot compared to the 2.5. My 06, which I bought a week ago. is a 4.0 liter and just screams. It wants to go. The 6 speed tranny is great also. No downshifting anymore. I'd recommend a Wrangler to everyone.
Amazing Vehicle

2006 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 2dr SUV 4WD (4.0L 6cyl 6M)

This vehicle is a tremendous amount of fun with the soft top and removable doors. Power is more than adequate for its size and weight. Extremely reliable; the only maintenance issues I have had in two and a half years are regular oil and filter changes every 3000 miles. Gas mileage is 15-17 mpg. Its a rough, loud ride, but its a Jeep not a Camry. Unstoppable off road. Cargo room and towing capacity are limited, but again you must realize what this vehicle is designed for and what it is not designed to do. Every vehicle has limitations and the Jeep is no exception. But it excels at what it was designed to do and I love it. I would buy another without hesitation.

It's a Jeep thing...and I don't understand.

I bought a 2006 Jeep Wrangler Sport for my 21st birthday thinking that I would have a blast -- and I did... for about 3 months. I love Jeeps, there's no other vehicle that can compare to the style and durability that Wranglers have. And I loved how cool I looked driving one. However, I soon realized that I made a big mistake. If you don’t have the money for the upkeep (which is constant), this vehicle will soon become a heavy burden. In my experience, every month I was in the repair shop trying to figure out what was wrong because my engine light was on constantly. This vehicle also isn’t very safe. It’s extremely easy to hydroplane, even if you’re driving very slow and not making sharp turns. One thing that no one mentions in reviews about wranglers are that they’re terrible to drive when it’s windy. It often felt like the wind was punching my jeep from each side and it would make me merge on to different lanes involuntarily. Wranglers also have terrible gas mileage; you’ll spend a tremendous amount of money filling up each week. And on top of all of that, it’s an extremely noisy and bumpy ride. In short, Jeep Wranglers are NOT commuter vehicles. They’re really just weekender vehicles to have a fun time in. Jeeps aren’t for people looking for a comfortable, quite, and reliable vehicle. Jeeps are for people that know their way around cars and truly enjoy Wranglers as a whole. So please, really figure out what you're willing to endure if you're considering buying a Wrangler. If you're not a mechanic or have money to constantly repair these things, then I suggest you look elsewhere.

Fun but not for everyone.

Amazing vehicle, great offroad and a ton of fun. However it: gets poor mpg, rides rough, is slow, steering sucks, little storage space with rear seats in, cold in winter hot in summer, etc. It's not a logical purchase, it's not a good daily driver like an average car, and if you buy this without intending to go off road you're a fool. It's an enthusiast vehicle, a street legal offroad toy, designed for those that don't care about comfort or practicality, and are passionate about their vehicle and it's automotive sport. This isn't the vehicle for your daughter sweet 16. This isn't the vehicle you buy to look cool. It's a vehicle you buy because you go off road.

2006 Jeep Wrangler X 2dr SUV 4WD (4.0L 6cyl 6M)

27 years ago, when I was 16, I wanted a Wrangler. But, my dad said "No, they're not for an inexperienced driver, they roll too easy." So, 27 years later, I have my Wrangler! 2006 Red Wrangler X, 6 speed. I smile every time I get behind the wheel, it's so much fun to drive. I love dropping the top and cruising around in the sun. So far, no problems whatsoever. Gas mileage is better then I expected. I traded in a 2004 Jeep Liberty, that at best, got 16 MPG. The Wrangler is averaging 18.6 running around town unless I use the A/C, then it drops to 16.5. Not bad, should get better, it's not even broken in yet with 1900 miles on it.
