Know BEFORE you BUY

I own a 2008 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited 4-door. 90,000miles. This is my dream Vehicle. But I knew this going into purchasing. Before anyone buys a vehicle, you need to research what you’re getting into. I knew Jeeps can death wobble if you don’t keep up on your maintanence such as alignments and tire rotations. I knew a Jeep is bumpy, I also knew Jeeps have their quirks, especially with electrical and wiring. I also knew my gas mileage would be 11-19mph. This was my Educated decision to purchase this specific vehicle, and I don’t regret it one bit. I will never own anything else, but for those of you buying something because it “looks cool” please think again. A Jeep is a long term investment, even more so than many other vehicles. If you can’t keep up with the expenses and baby your beauty like she needs, then you shouldn’t be buying one.

Exactly what I expected, FUN

Although I have only had it a couple of weeks, I am fully pleased with the Wrangler Unlimited Sahara. I left behind a Cadillac CTS at the dealer and really haven't looked back. The Jeep's ride is not as bad as some say. You should know what your getting, but I was actually pretty surprised by how comfortable it is. Power and mpg suck, but I am going to address that with the savings on payment and insurance costs by adding a cold-air intake, exhaust and flash-programmer. From the documented dyno results, I don't think I will have any complaints going forward. Final word: practical, 4 door convertible. The REAL "ultimate tanning machine!"

Not Much Disappointment

2008 Jeep Wrangler X 2dr SUV 4WD (3.8L 6cyl 6M)

My 6th Wrangler. 5th brand new one. a 97,2000, 04, 95 (used), 06 and new 08. 97, 00, and 95 had 2.5L 4 cyls. 04 had a 2.4L. Downshifted constantly. 06 had a 4.0L 6cyl. 08 has a 3.8L. The 08 gets a couple MPG better but the electronic accelerator lacks. Body style is awesome. Interior, driver sits against the door and the biggest problem is the trip set button. They stuck it right behind the window washer/wiper lever. Every time you reset the trip odometer you get a window wash too. Overall I like it. Disc brakes all the way around are an improvement too.

I got my Jeep back!

I have owned several Jeeps. A 94 Cherokee and 97 TJ Wrangler. After a brief and dull experience with a Chrysler Town and Country minivan, I got my Jeep back. Yes, everything about the Jeep is, well, Jeepish. I have the hard top model so wind noise is not that much of a big deal and I like the fact that I can take the front panels off on a nice day. They are light and easy. On a rainy day I have seen the top leak once and after reseating it not more leaks. I have the manual 6 speed so power is not that much of an issue. Get the power and door lock option if you have a child. My wife hates that we did not get this option.
