I don't understand why they say that this jeep is not comfortable. It's an awesome smooth ride. I was even surprised! I was so glad I waited years to get this improved jeep. BTW this is the first jeep I have ever owned. It took about 3 months straight from the factory for this jeep to arrive at the dealership. When it arrived couldn't wait to modify it. With the help of my buddy Sam in the jeep service department in Jeep/Chrysler Williamsburg VA. I added led 2 50 ft light bars, Roof rack, winch, lOOP bumper etc. Sam surprised me when I saw it in front of the dealership! Let me tell you it is a beauty! people compliment me when they see my jeep. Is all top of the line baby! I am not finished with modifying it. Is going to be worth every dime! I will definitely recommend those beautiful women to drive one! OMG red seat and red seat belts too! I wont say much about it let quality speak for itself Did I tell you I love my JEEP!

Wranglers are UNSAFE and UNRELIABLE

I purchased a 2017 Wrangler in December of 2016. In 11 months it has been in the dealership 5 times. 1 month after I purchased it my son got stranded on a highway with NO POWER STEERING! A month later the clutch needed to be replaced. Yesterday was the 4th time it would not start and needed a new battery. The worst part about this is that the dealership did not stand behind their word. Be very very careful buying a JEEP wrangler. They are unreliable and made poorly. I lost a lot of money this last year on that car. I also paid $2,000 for an extended warranty- totally wasted.

Wranglers are made to work, climb, and play. If you bought it to be "cool" and for it to run errands or sit in your garage, get something else. I am a mail carrier, I have a RHD that Jeep is kind enough to make for us. They will however only make us the very basic of models, no options allowed. So I basically live in my Jeep, but I cant get the comforts they offer for other Jeeps, that sucks, it's not very comfortable, the sound system sucks, but it's so much better than my 2003. I got this one in December 2016, the 2017 model. She's got 78,000 miles on her, that is not a typo, I got her with 6 miles on her. I have not encountered one problem at all, this Jeep is worked hard 6 days a week, she gets to rest on Sunday only. My backup Jeep, my 2003, has not been needed at all, it just gets dipped in the mud now and goes out for play. This reviewer asks for city or highway, none of the above, I am on dirt and mud and ice and snow. I need a vehicle that will go through anything mother nature has to throw at it, my Wrangler does this, I have only been stuck twice in all the years I've owned a Wrangler. Both of these times were me seeing how far I could push her, snow drift higher than the hood and about 100 yards long, I didn't get enough initial momentum and hung up about 15 feet from the end :( She did walk right out though once I got out and kicked some snow out from underneath. I only run BF Goodrich AT's though and that has a lot to do with it. I've pulled out plow trucks and cars and even my one ton dually diesel that were stuck, the power definitely surprises me, I thought I'd have to get the tractor going for that last one. So I'm sure there are a few with factory defects that haven't been so great, but I've put this one through the wringer and its passed with flying colors. I'm meticulous about my maintenance and my 2003 is retired with more miles than I thought was ever possible for a gas engine, we'll see how many I can get on this one.

Tough, reliable, smooth shifting, good power and effective 4 wheel drive. Fun to drive under all conditions with multiple roof options.

I researched Wranglers and other SUVs. None are inexpensive so it depends on what style you want. Wranglers are fun to drive and they are old fashioned war horses. Contrary to professional reviews I read, my Wrangler is not noisy at all and rides very comfortably but with a good road feel. If you want a sedan-like drive with no road sense, go for it. But if want to know you're grounded but very comfortable, this is it.
