Oscar-Mike only way to go

2016 Jeep Wrangler Freedom Edition 2dr SUV 4WD (3.6L 6cyl 6M)

Had to do research on Oscar Mike significance. Like the idea of part of price supports USO. It has all the right equipment right out of the box. I wasn't searching for Freedom Edition, but wanted a red 2 door and this is what came up. It seems that Unlimited models are what every one wants, probably the way to go, but I'm a traditionalist. I miss my 2005 TJ I just wish I could have them both. That said, I love my firecracker red 2 door JK. My Jeep history goes back to a 46 cj-2, a 74 cj-5, a 79 cj-7, a 05 tj and my 16 JK. Loved them all and wish I could've kept them all. My !is for a 2016 JK Wrangler, not a 2015 model. No biggie, but just want to be correct!

This vehicle does not handle roads well that have twists and turns to them. (You literally have to go 15 mph so the vehicle doesn't 'skip or hop' sideways across the road while people behind you are honking their horns for you to go faster!). I never would have purchased it had I known this ahead of time. I knew you had to take on and off ramps a bit slower but performance on a winding paved road is really bad.

Understand, this is not a car, this is a jeep

It's the only thing on the road that will drive along side the road with equal comfort and control! I also like how the tires give you plenty of warning that you're getting to aggressive in the corners, and its the only car i've driven that I'm happy driving the speed limit in (saves on fines) only problems are 1. you end up waving at every other jeep on the road 2. people come up to you just to tell you how nice you're jeep is 3. When you park it somewhere you come back to find 2-3 or more parked next to it. But these are only problems if you're not a jeep person!

I drove/own many cars.. miata, forester, golf, elantra, corolla, yaris, echo, mazda 5, mazda protege, grand vitara, smart4-2, dodge journey, sportage, civic hybrid, even a big harley davidson.. The jeep wrangler unlimited automatic is definitely my favorite , harley close in second place. The wrangler is such a great fun multipurpose vehicle.. its a truck, a suv, a daily car, a convertible, a true offroad, a great look at my original car thing. Almost everyday people compliment my wrangler. Especially when the doors and roof are completely removed from the vehicle. Ok, removing doors and roof require some effort. Especially the doors. As for the hard top roof, you will need a friend to help you out or use a hoist system. But once you strip the jeep, it turns into an offroad convertible 4x4 dune buggy with 4 door entry. All other cars are just dull boring after you try a wrangler.. this kind of open air experience is something unique. Especially if you have a form of claustrophobia. The wrangler is an Open air experience a la dune buggy on stéroïde Ok you will never beat anyone on acceleration with a jeep.. but at the end of the day, only a jeep owner will be able to witness pure freedom Losing one star only because the mpg is horrible on the jku and jlu is very expensive.. most of the annoying stuff found on the jk have been fixed on the jl. But the jl is really expensive.. Another reason it is losing 1 star is because Jeep coporate don't listen and don't work with the community...they don't listen to their costumers... most modifications require to modify other things.. like upgrading tires require that you have to upgrade the spare tire carrier and the tailgate hinges. Lifting, require so many stuff to be change. There are also know recall issues.. Will i buy another one? I would if i had the money Is it the best cat i drove.. not sporty, but for offroading.. you can't beet that price
