If its for you its perfect

2015 Jeep Wrangler Sport 2dr SUV 4WD (3.6L 6cyl 6M)
First of all, if you want great gas mileage it isnt for you. If you want to be able to drive in any condition and go anywhere it is. If you are thinking about a Jeep Wrangler, the first step is to not be stupid about it. If you have the money to go out and buy the higher versions of it then by all means go ahead and do so. For the rest of us here is my best advice for you, buy the … Sport model. Jeeps are the most modified vehicle on the road. Save 3-5K dollars at purchase and buy what you want for it aftermarket. Buy the Jeep with a hardtop, then search craigslist or ebay for a used soft top for it, you should be able to find one for around $500, and that will be around 2K less than the dealer will want for it. The rear seats in an Unlimited have a terrible angle on them, buy a set of spacers for under them for $50, best money spent. You'll love driving it, but its a taller vehicle, it can be a handle when the wind is really blowing especially on the highway and the soft top makes it a little worse. All jeeps are kind of noisier than a regular car, but that is because of the fun factor you will have when it is warmer and you have the top off. It's a unique vehicle that isn't for everyone but if you are adventurous and fun loving the Jeep is perfect.
Jeep Wranglers Wave at each Other on the Road
Shawn Schmid, Winston Salem, NC, 03/18/2016
2015 Jeep Wrangler Sport 2dr SUV 4WD (3.6L 6cyl 6M)
Like motorcyclists, Wrangler drivers give a wave to each other on the road. That made it easier for me to transition from my California, motorcycle-only driving to the East Coast where they have seasons and I need 4 wheels to travel.
Pros: it's not just a car, it's a way of life
Endless accessories are available, depending upon what you want to do
Best resale value of any car. Look … online at a 5 year old Wrangler with 100,000 miles...it can still command a 20k dollar price, depending on options & condition. Mine is worth more now than when I bought it!
Cons: endless accessories mean your build won't ever end while you own your rig
Along with the high resale value comes the high cost. My nice young salesman literally laughed in my face when I told him the MSRP for a 2015 JKU as its called, that is the Wrangler Unlimited Sport, the lowest 4-door model. Any other words, Sahara, Rubicon, Willys model cost more. You can't get one less than 30,000, anywhere on earth. I see people pay 50,000. So I got the 30,000 after I found out MSRP is meaningless--it must not have an engine for the MSRP price, and that pisses me off badly. But it's like every car-buying experience except Saturn (we bought 2 before they killed Saturn for being customer-friendly by actually TELLING YOU THE PRICE. So I spent 2,000 on tires, wheels, and a 2" (minimum) lift kit and mine looked better than the Rubicon now (it's over 40k). Then I spent 1300 more and got a front bumper with a big "trail stinger" bar and a Superwinch 9500 synthetic, because if synthetic line ever breaks, it falls to the ground rather than cutting off a head, and the Dyneema cord is as strong as steel. Now my Wrangler is priceless, ready to pull you out of a ditch if you follow me!
SECOND VERSE SAME AS THE FIRST
Walt, Newburgh, NY, 10/16/2015
2015 Jeep Wrangler Sport 2dr SUV 4WD (3.6L 6cyl 6M)
Traded in 04 Wrangler Sport I had for 11 yrs. Got $11,500 on a 2015 Wrangler Sport S for $31,000. Feels like a Mercedes in comparison yet better off road. Only problem with 04 was "death rattle" which got fixed for $120. Premium Sunrider top is beautiful but have problems locking in compared to ease of 04. Side windows much easier than 04. Definitely much faster with better gas mileage. … Much better braking. Wind "whistling" noise front of soft top between 35/50 mph but no leakage. After many trips to dealership and windshield gasket changed Jeep engineers admit design flaw. 7 others driven have same issue. Extremely satisfied with 2015 and only time will tell if it is as reliable as 04 was.
4/21/17 Update. Now have 14000 mi. Drove to Fl and back. Very comfortable. Learned how to push Pandora and Nav through Blutooth. Jeep said it couldn't be done...WRONG! Really cool. Drove the beaches in Outer Banks NC. With "limited slip" didn't even need 4wd. Getting rear window off/on is a nightmare so have just rolled up rear when putting down top. Every other person I speak to has this problem. Overall very happy with my Wrangler. 22 mpg on long trip @ 70 mph.
The Jeep Wrangler 2dr is in a Class by Itself
Kenny, Stillwater, MN, 08/19/2018
2015 Jeep Wrangler Sport 2dr SUV 4WD (3.6L 6cyl 6M)
The 2dr Jeep Wrangler is not for everyone. It is small. Great for two people with limited cargo. It is short, resulting in a seesaw take offs and braking. The ride is firm, not plush at all. The gas mileage isn't great. It's basically a brick cutting through the air. The Wrangler isn't made for long trips in comfort or sporty driving through twisty roads. However, being small and … short it can turn on a dime, easily maneuvering through the trees or around boulders or even tight parking lots with small parking spaces. It accels in in parking garages. The stiff ride on the highway turns into great steering feel when traversing uneven terrain off road. While the gas mileage isn't the greatest, it isn't bad either. The engine power resulting in the lower mpg is perfect to blast through deep snowdrifts or climbing steep hills. When you're sick of the long distance ride in the Wrangler, you can simply turn off the beaten path, drive to an area you swear nobody had ever been, and camp overnight. This is what the Jeep Wrangler 2dr is made for.
