It's a Jeep!

This is not a city commuter mobile, nor a BMW (I traded in my 328Xi for this!) It is an outdoors persons dream; fun to drive with the top down, able to go nearly anywhere, it was designed for the outdoors! After watching the video, the soft top is easy to put up or down, taking off the hard top is a breeze. Acceleration is fine, my unlimited keeps up with every other car on the highway entering the entrance ramp. Shifting is easy, arm and leg positions comfortable. It sits up high off the ground, but my mother in law who is 80 lovers the ride and can get in without a problem. Controls are easy to use, and make sense, blue tooth and voice recognition work fine with my iPhone (which doubles as my GPS system). 130N radio with Sirius XM sounds very good, although a little weak in the base. The long baseline of the unlimited helps in inroad ride performance. I'm in love with the vehicle already!

I love how people make excuses for a vehicle they paid 40k plus for. I purchased my 2016 rubicon fully loaded and it was a replacement for my 4th gen 4 runner. The vehicle definitely doesn't ride as well as the 4 runner on the road or even on dirt roads. I was never going to take this thing rock crawling but just to moderate trails that definitely require 4wd and sometimes rear lockers or may a front locker if you select the wrong line. For this the Jeep was better than my old 4 runner. The things I hate was the wind noise. To spend 40k on a vehicle and to realize that on long road trips you can't stand the vehicle comfort features is the worst. The Jeep is a toy

I just traded my grand Cherokee in for a new 2016 wrangler unlimited.. I love it!! Yes it is a little bouncy and it does not have all the features that my grand Cherokee had but you don't buy a wrangler for luxury! It does however have Bluetooth, power doors and windows, an awesome stereo, touch screen. It is by far the coolest vehicle that I ever owned.. So glad that I finally have one of my own!!

Horrible fuel mileage, check engine light came on after 2 weeks of ownership, dealer didn’t fix the issue for a year, it would turn off in reverse, tires noise was awful, who ever designed u-connect who be tar and feathered, GPS sucks! Shame on you Garmin! But I loved it, it only works well when you’re on off-road.

The Greatest Ride Ever

This isn't a suv, this isn't a lexus, This isn't a ride for just anyone. Its a JEEP! Its for the greatest people on earth. I have two Jeeps. a 2015 unllimted and a 2016 unlimted. My wife loves hers and I loved hers so much. I bought me one also. If you want the most custom ride to go anywhere on earth. This is the ride. It has a community in its self. Like no other. It's a great buy for great people. try one. then buy one. When you try one. you have to relize if your a city girl/boy that this is a jeep. not a Mercedes. But with 35inch tires 4 inch I can drive 80 down the road witht he radio on 12 and carry a conversation without yelling. its an awesome ride ya'll. Cheers and enjoy.
