Best all around vehicle

2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara 4dr SUV 4WD (3.6L 6cyl 6M)

This is my Fourth Jeep I have owned I have had a TJ, YJ, JK and now the JL. This is by far the most comfortable Jeep I have ever owned. The stock suspension on this Sahara has the smoothest ride of any previous Jeep and is smoother than my wife's 2013 Durango. The only negative I have is that when Jeep makes a new model I have to sell all of my old accessories because they are not compatible with the new one.

A joy, but not worth the MSRP pricetag

We bought our 2019 Jeep Wrangler JL Unlimited Sport S with the 3.6L after my 2001 TJ Sahara finally rusted apart after 22 years. Overall we're happy with it. There are some quirks and imperfections that do not justify the $30k+ MSRP. Pros: -incredibly refined compared to previous generations on the interior. -the Sport-S gives you all the basic creature comforts you'd expect on a vehicle in this day and age(power windows, mirrors and locks, climatronic controls, apple car play/android auto). -The 3.6L v6 engine is torquey & robust and gives you plenty(if not almost too much power for a jeep). Reviews are mixed on reliably issues, but we bought ours with 69k miles and we just hit 83k and haven't had any issues with the motor with just routine oil changes - The 8-speed automatic transmission shifts quickly and efficiently and rarely stutters and trips over itself during stop and go traffic. -The freedom panels give you the option to have an open air experience without having to fully commit to taking the entire roof off like on our old TJ. -Suspension is much smoother and comfortable than previous jeep models(keyword: "comparatively")! Cons: - the OEM sound system is underpowered. This is especially evident when you have the roof and/or doors off. Even with max volume you can barely hear it. -some of the external parts are cheap-feeling for a $30k+ vehicle. -the automatic start/stop mechanism is annoying/problematic. The Wrangler has 2 batteries: a main battery that powers everything except the start/stop system, and an auxiliary battery under the main battery that powers the stop/start mechanism exclusively. This is an example of poor engineering because when the aux battery inadvertently dies, it "poisons" the main battery and drains it. We learned this the hard way when the jeep tried to stop/start in an intersection and didn't have the juicie to restart itself, leaving us stranded in a busy intersection. We ended up buying an aftermarket stop/start bypass dongle that keeps the stop/start setting off(otherwise we'd have to manually turn it off every drive cycle which is annoying). Ultimately this is a product of over-engineering on Jeep's part. Overall, it's a great vehicle, just criminally overpriced(I think jeep has figured this out though, as their used prices have dropped substantially over the past 6 months).

Differential disgrace

I have a 2019 Wrangler with 50,000 miles on it. I bought it new I maintain it regularly when I first picked it up from East Hills Jeep. The front end was out of whack. They called it the death wobble after two times ringing it back. They finally fixed it now. 50,000 miles later the differential in the rear end broke and is not covered under warranty. Cost me over $1500 to fix that was made of plastic, which was the bearings who are made of metal with a plastic covering to hold them in place. I don’t understand why Jeep would put a plastic part in a transmission which carries such a load.

My all-time favorite vehicle

I love my 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport-S; this is the best vehicle I have ever owned. I purchased my Jeep used with 17K miles; currently I have owned it for two years and have 54K miles. Mechanically I have had zero issues with my Jeep; I service all of my vehicles regular-with my Jeep I've only had to change the oil and filter. The ride is what you would expect from a Jeep. If you want a Jeep that rides more like and SUV then you should get the Sahara with highway tires. My Jeep has the I4 turbocharged 4 cylinder engine; the torque I have access to is amazing. The engine doesn't sound like the V6, but it delivers plenty of power and usually gets around 22 mpg. I have upgraded my suspension by adding a 2.5" lift and 33" Cooper tires. The tires make the Jeep drive different, but they look great. I have also added rock lights and interior under dash lights without any issues-the battery is strong and has extra terminals for add-ons. I feel confident in my Jeep knowing that I am driving a mechanically reliable vehicle that can handle any situation I may be faced with on and off road. I highly recommend the Jeep Wrangler.

I am really enjoying being in a vehicle that sits higher! I am happy with the way it handles in the city and on the freeway. Remember, it’s a Jeep, so the suspension rides a little stiffer but it does ride smoothly on the freeway. Know that you will feel the bumps on city streets but also know that your suspension was built to handle it better than most other vehicles. I really like the mobile device integration. Jeep really does think of almost every little detail. I can’t wait to take it off road to tests out the 4x4 capabilities!
