First Wrangler (2 door)

2013 Jeep Wrangler Sport 2dr SUV 4WD (3.6L 6cyl 6M)
Wanted a Wrangler for a long time but didn't like the comfort in the 2012 and earlier. Also concerned about the gas mileage, being used to driving fairly economical cars. The 2013 comfort well surpassed the previous years'. The new seats are much better, though they could be a little firmer. The driving position is great for me (5'11''). I love having that higher vantage point on the … road. Gas mileage is not bad. I've seen 23-24 on highway, keeping it at the speed limit. I usually drive it conservatively so my mileage is better than average I guess. I have a loaded Sport with dual top. I put the soft top on a week ago just to see what it was like, but decided to stick with the hard top.
Poor design to reduce unit cost

I have owned three Jeeps (1996, 2001, 2013) and have experienced first hand declining quality. In the five years of 2103 wrangler ownership; leaking oil cooler (safety recall, under warranty), rear axle bearing seal leak ($780), anti theft key system failure ($700). This is my third and last Jeep. As a professional mechanical engineer the culprit is clear; poor design most likely driven … a management desire to cut corners for profit.

2013 Jeep Wrangler Sport 2dr SUV 4WD (3.6L 6cyl 6M)
Not a great family car. More of a single man or woman's car. Good for commuting or off roading.Good winter driving car. Good for long trips. Sport model doesn't have a lot of electronic gizmos, so there is less to go wrong. There are tons of after market parts you can put on these, to dress it up. An all around fun vehicle.
2013 JK is joke on me
GP, Tempe, AZ, 01/15/2019
2013 Jeep Wrangler Sport 2dr SUV 4WD (3.6L 6cyl 6M)
Upgrading from a 2003 Tacoma TRD...ride quality, acceleration, braking are wonderful. Cool little nimble car!! All research supports that 2013 is the way to go. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Update...oil relay/pump/water pump/oil pump mechanics/engine light.....in the dealership more times than I've taken it off road. Sceptical year to buy....rethinking about a 2019/2020 maybe
