some of everything
Jeeps have it all.To get it all we have to compromise a bit .What other car lets you remove the top in summer , drive over and around sand dunes and then in winter is virtually unstoppable when the white crap piles up ? Back seat accessibility is awful...unless the top is off...then you climb over .

It's a Jeep, Not a BMW
I am 57 and this is my fourth Wrangler. Traded in an 08 BMW for the Wrangler and haven't looked back. We are having a blast. So when you look at the ratings given for comfort, quietness,and performance,understand this is a Jeep and that is part of it. Getting 20 commuting and almost 22 on the highway. This Jeep is much quieter and better riding than the previous Wranglers. BMW drivers seem to turn their noses up at other BMW's thinking theirs is better or something. I have found that nearly every Wrangler driver I meet, young, old, male, female, always wave. Can't beat that.
Fun Jeep!
Traded in my 2004 (8 cyl.) Buick Rainier for a loaded Sahara. Having owned a jeep 20 years ago; I was expecting a huge drop off in cabin comfort, on-road driving, and acceleration. I am really surprised at how well the new Wrangler compares in these areas...sure there is a bit of drop off; but with power everything, leather trim, and NAV/Hard drive/Satellite, I'm not missing the Rainier. This model and options make this a more than capable day to day family vehicle. I don't feel like I'm giving up much to have all the fun and capabilities of a Jeep. I think my kids were more excited than me when I pulled into the driveway. Looking forward to years of fun with this one!
Ideal Island Car
My ride home from the dealership, 100 miles was effortless. The ride home was enjoyable, and can't wait to hit those favorite spots. I can't believe that this is a off road vehicle. No regrets in buying it. Glad I live in Hawaii.
"Salt Life Baby" it's a jeep
Well I have had this for a few months now and was able to take it off road, this is by far the best jeep I have driving. I had a 2002 X series before this Rubicon and it is a night and day difference. The Rubicon is by far the best off road vehicle for a stock off the lot s.u.v. there is no comparison. I was able to go through every place and it did not even act like it was off road. This truck is a beast for sure. It is not a city vehicle if your looking for gas mileage by a hybrid cause you are not passing many stations with this vehicle, but I don't care I love it. I wanted a jeep for the off road not gas mileage.
2010 Wrangler Unlimited Mountain
So far reliability has been excellent. Mileage with combined city/highway averages about 16 mpg. The engine could definitely use a horsepower boost. The standard stereo, while ok, lacks wattage and sound quality. Interior could use more storage space. The freedom hardtop is great for driver "open air" while remaining good for northern climates. Shortcoming aside, I love the Jeep personality and have a lot of fun with the vehicle.
Did not purchase - needs more power
My wife and I absolutely love Jeeps. We have owned 3 Wranglers over the past 11 years. We were looking at upgrading our current Wrangler to a fully loaded 2010 Sahara Unlimited 4X4. After an extended test drive, we took the Jeep back and walked away. Today's Jeeps are much better than our 2004, but it lacks power and based on internet research, MPG is poor also. Jeep needs to install their new Pentastar engine now to make this package the ultimate off-road/on-road deal. If Jeep does not install the new Pentastar engine now, wait for 2011... rumor has it Jeep will begin installing the 280 HP Pentastar in Wranglers.
Lovin' it so far
This is my first Jeep ever, so I didn't know what to expect, but so far I am loving it. The car does take a lot of gas, but that was expected. Acceleration is alright, but it feels like the car is really working, but it handles city streets and the highway just fine. The interior is nice and much better than my 2002 Ford Escape. The premium sound system is a must. I had heated seats installed because of Michigan winters, but so far they have not been necessary. The soft top seems warm enough and is pretty quiet. The heater really gets it warm and quick. haven't had a chance to drive in snow...yet, but looking forward to it. Test drive before purchasing. Its a Wrangler
VERY SATISFIED
AS a previous owner of a 95 wrangler, the ride is much more comfortable, and a 100 times quieter then before with the soft top. the ride is smooth enough. It is the only convertible that is practical year-round in snow country. price is as good as it gets for any 4WD out there. I am very satisfied with the dealer and the vehicle. plenty of options for aftermarket improvements. upgrade option for engine would be nice, but i am sure that is restricted by current regulations emissions, etc.
well worth it
after a great deal of thought and research I decided to get the jeep rather than a standard SUV. My 1st Jeep and I couldn't be happier, now my wife wants one! Fuel consumption isn't its strong point but some simple modifications (air intake etc) have lifted the town average to 18mpg, its comfortable to drive, it feels solid and well built and have had no quality issues so far (3000 miles to date). Kids are comfy in the back seat (we have 3 including a 3 year old in a center mounted child chair)plenty of space for everyone. With the hard top its as practical to drive as a normal SUV but 15 min work and the top is off on clear days!
Dream Car!
I recently purchased a 2010 2-door Sahara with the manual transmission. It is a blast to drive! Everything about the Wrangler has been impressive so far. . . I can't wait until it gets warm enough to take the top off!
Top Shelf
What can I say. I'm all about Jeeps. CJ's, YJ's, TJ's, XJ's I've had them all. Bar none this one is the best one ever. Looked at H3. Poser. Way overpriced, too. I got the hardtop sport with ac, cruise, tilt, 6 spd manual and its a blast to drive! Turns heads.I get 18.9 combined and just under 22 on trips. Other people here complaining about gas mileage I don't understand. My old CJ5 still gets 10mpg with a six cyl. It's a brick with wheels, deal with it. And underpowered? Are you kidding? 200hp with a V6? It is geared down for torque not speed. Want speed buy a wrx. I'll pull you out too! Buy it, tear it apart, rebuild it...it is still a simple truck. Don't need posh and trinkets. It's a jee
its fun
love it. had it a month now, its been to the dessert and was awesome. climbing power and stable.out of our group the jeeps pulled the sand rail home lol
Love It
Had my Jeep Wrangler Unlimited for 3 weeks and I LOVE IT. This is the most fun I have had in a vehicle without going off road yet! I get a lot of compliments from people driving next to me when they see the top down and doors off. Great ride!
Best Off Roader in the world
I go off road a lot and the wrangler exceeds my expectations. I got out of spots that other members in my jeep club have said were impossible to get through. Jeep should offer more off road systems like Toyota has, like rock crawl, etc. Offer a compass, inclinometer, and temp gauge like in the fj. I replace my off roader every other year and will probably get a fj or 4 runner because of this,
Small aftermarket changes
Tinted the Windows, rockslider Nerf bars, got rid of the extremely weak and ugly highway tires for bfg all terrain ko's and removed sport and wrangler stickers. Am now 90% happy with the sexy looking black Jeep, gas mileage leaves a lot to be desired but otherwise very happy. Have problems when using softop with the back window clips falling off, also seems to fit poorly around the rear. About 2000 dollars in upgrades really helped hive it a more rugged Jeep look, do think the fender flares could use tweaking, get a ton of road grime kicked up & plastering the door handles, actually noticed it more with the stock tires. It does get a lot of compliments as well
Wrangler: It's all about the ride!
This is my first Wrangler, an Islander. After trying different models, a Sahara and a Unlimited, I kept coming back to the Islander, with its Performance Suspension. It handles like a dream, even on curves and roundabouts. It has 3.73 rear axle ratio instead of 3.21 makes a difference when accelerating on the highway. I really enjoy driving it, as I have a feeling of connection with the road, but at the same time, it's quiet inside the vehicle, no noticeable road noise. It does have a hard top, which helps. I have driven Jeeps before, and I must say, they have come a long way in terms of comfort and features, but have kept the integrity of style. You can always spot a Wrangler!
There's Only One Jeep
Needed a "dog" truck to more practically manage my pack. The Sahara is much easier for the dogs to enter with the back seat "tumbled" and it's a lot easier to keep clean than a regular SUV. This is my second Wrangler Sahara so I knew what to expect. This '10 seems much quieter than the '98 and the engine seems smoother. Miss the manual transmission but wanted a deal so had to work with dealer inventory. All-in- all this truck is a terrific, practical package I'll keep for the long haul. Thanks to the great people of Toledo for building this unique vehicle.
Exactly what I was looking for!
This Jeep is amazing! The color I wanted, lifted, big tires-rims I wanted! Every detail of this car is exactly what I wanted! Love it!

200k plus and still rolling... Mountain 2 DR 6 SP
Ok ...after being a loyal jeep owner since my teens I decided tot go find a project and go forward. Little history ... I've owned 3 CJ-5s (one w/V8) . 5 CJ-7s and one TJ Rubicon before this JK Mountain....All different levels of Mods, trims and some were better than others and I will admit the TJ Rubicon is a tough one to beat.... On with the JK I bought it used and it was not maintained well at all. ... Im also relatively sure it was stored in a snowbank that was covered with salt for an extended period just to make this one more challenging.. . So i knew it from day one this would need some work...one of my main complaints coming from experience with original jeeps is this one has a sensor for everything... I would say at this time most if not all have been replaced....along with general issues with the wiring harness ...It needed a few new connectors here and there....Cleaned up a number of previous idiot owners attempts at splicing optional items in with no attention to sealing out moisturizing or protective covering around sharp or high temperature areas...This is a real jeep w/ 6 speed manual transmission... which was the same transmission that came with my Rubicon...well the new one i put in at 70k miles is still fine... the original would not stay in gear, had trouble going into gear and growled at all speeds.... I chalk that up to the original owner being a loyal automatic transmission slave and the learning curve for driving a standard was beyond his abilities...all the other wearable parts that were original equipment have been replaced, rebuilt or maintained up to a qualified operational level...That would include all brake hardware, hoses,;; steering components, shocks, track bars driveshafts, axles, lights, ect ect ect... I will also say besides regular oil changes to clean up the motor it doesn't burn any noticable amount of oil.. There is a planned upgrade in the near future.. i did put a oil pressure gauge on it and she pounds out high oil pressure and the A/C I haven't touched except for a quick pressure check topped off coolant and added.some oil to the system....Now i will tell you i am a driver and i live near a major city with a broad range of driver,s from diverse cultures and abilities with I high percentage of complete incompetent operators that should have there licenses revoked and their cars impounded...but what im trying to say the traffic in this area tends to resemble a MAD MAX movie while throwing in a geriatric surprise every 100th. car.... Note: I rode a bike in this town and have been hit by cars 3 times.... absolutely Amazing the comment at the accident sites... So you either drive or die in this town....I digress..the V6 3.8 is not a bad motor it just needs to be driven ..the power is between .3-4.5k rpm... if you are under that or you have an automatic ....go sell the car and get a bus pass... you have no business out here with the grownups. and i know you bought your jeep to look cool....but cool is within and all the paint, tires and options are not going to get you there.... I have driven most of my jeeps in.hood height swamp waters with snakes and alligators deep under the moonlight and i keep making it back...yes this mountain has been a project but overall ive been pleased... I only wonder what it might have been like if i didnt have to repair all the prior abuse and neglect and the refection on my wallet. I did add leather seats considering I have so much into this one financially ill probably keep it till either I or the jeep turns to dust...

Still breaking necks after 14 years
Let me start by saying that, this is not my first Jeep product, But it is my first JKU body. This is my daily driver, and While I take excellent care of it, some are just Jeep conditions; I maintain a rust free frame, floors and body, (even in Canada) the motor is very underpowered, for the Rubicon model; with the 3.8 L. Windshield will always end up cracked, when you replace it go with the gorilla glass, it’s slightly more durable, and in my experience, it hasn’t underperformed the original in time or quality. Interior space is exactly as expected, even more so with the soft top. I have used it for off-road, camping, moving, and never had any issues. Maintenance wise, I have replaced the brakes entirely once, pads twice. Brake fluid/power steering fluid maintenance regularly, spark plugs on schedule. Heater core I replaced at 200,000 km 240,000km all around shocks & coil springs 250,000 km, I replaced the lower intake manifold gasket, upper intake manifold gaskets; thermostat, all cooling hoses. A jeep is incredibly robust, and very easy to work on, based on it sitting height, and although there are some quality control/engineering issues, such as electronic, swaybar disconnect, on the Rubicon models, which is prone to taking on water and debris and failing; (mine broke off inside at the gearhead) this is a $3000 part, but you have other options, as long as five or $600; not as convenient, but workable. as far as a vehicle, and its utility is concerned, it’s an excellent choice. Iconic.
