This is my first Jeep but after having a GMC Jimmy there's no comparison. Steering is light but responsive, corners well and the highway ride is much improved over past generations. Noise is still there but not dominating. Engine isn't a powerhouse but with the 6 spd that's up to the driver, and it can go fairly well. No problems with the roof or door seals. Suspension is firm but in town it doesn't have a problem absorbing northern Alberta potholes. If you want a cushy ride, buy a Crown Vic. I plan to have this thing for a long time, and so far so good!
JK is unbeatable

Long time Wrangler owner and just upgraded to an 08 Rubicon Unlimited in black, all I can say is this is not the Wrangler of yesterday. Space is respectable, surprised that it is bigger in the interior than the Commander and the GC. My only complaint to date is lack of storage pockets in the dash area and the mediocre power. Jeep should have at least put the 4.7 v8 as an option with the Rubicon having an available Hemi.

Traction/stability control is king in all ice/snow

The Jeep Wrangler stability control is awesome in slick conditions. Ice snow mud or any other unexpected slide you may encounter. It will keep you moving in the direction you want to be going. On another note if you have a rubicon model it has many other features/traction aids that assist you in getting wherever it is you are heading. These things are not what will insure your safety getting to the grocery store on a nasty snowed in day but rather these things like sway bar disconnects and lockers front and rear with a 4 to 1 low range and 4.10 axel ratios along with an aggressive set of tires will get you well past where the road ends and the real fun begins. All you need is a winch and you can safely go just about anywhere that isn’t roofline deep in water. I am an experienced rock crawler that has a old yj rock buggy on one tons and 42” irocs with coil overs and twin sticks for doing front digs. When I bought my 4 dr ruby I called it my minivan because it was easier to get my sons car seat in and out of the back than in my single cab Cummins. After realizing just how safe and capable this new jeep rubicon was and how well mannered it was on the road, even in the worst of conditions. I live in Ashe county North Carolina and we are at the heart of the Appalachian mountains and we get a generous helping of snow and ice every fall/winter/spring. This vehicle has got me to work in Boone about 20 miles from home with a record snowfall of 20” dropped the night before. The snow plows hadn’t made it out yet and didn’t for a couple of days. My ruby got me back and forth just fine and I was also able to winch a couple of other folks out as well

I bought this Jeep and I just love the ride that I get out of it. What I don't like is the inside of the doors get scratched so easy. I bought it in Michigan then moved to Virginia and the dealers here don't do much for you. Not like the big city. This Jeep could have more get up and go. I have the six speed manual and when it's cold out it jumps out of second gear all the time. I bought a lot of chrome for it(bumper, side boards, gas cap,mud flaps) now everyone that sees it says it looks like a hummer. I love my JEEP

Alright so my husband talked me into this vehicle and heck it is fun to drive, when it actually works. I have less than 4000 miles and already the jeep has been to the shop 3 times due to all the indicator lights coming on and the gauges not working (speedometer, rpm) while I was driving. Then once you turn the car off, it won't start. I have called the customer service department and they expect you to keep running it back and forth to the shop to get it fixed while you are paying your car note and insurance.I am hoping that this will be resolved but I have to say be weary to those who are interested in this vehicle. anyone else with this issue?
