Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Fun to drive, Great off-roader, Waterproof interior
Cons: Poor gas mileage, Improved, but sluggish acceleration.
The Bottom Line: Fun in the Sun, fun in the outback, this jeep is recommended for anyone who wants a hot looking vehicle, or wants to do some hardcore off-roading.

Almost a million Jeeps were built during World War II. They were simple, rugged, reliable, and could go just about anywhere the military wanted them to. It is these qualities many customers still look for in a Jeep Wrangler to this very day, ...

Love My Jeep

by mooresites
Feb 24 '06 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Great engine response (4 Liter), tight build, go anywhere in it
Cons: 2 adult limit on longer trips, noisy on interstate (even with hard top)
The Bottom Line: If you're itchin' to get a Jeep, get a 1997 or higher. 1998 model is very solid.

I wanted a "Real Jeep" since I was in high school. Unfortunately, the folks weren't buying, so I had to stick with the hand-me-down. I did catch a small break by getting a used 1992 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I loved that vehicle all the way to 1999 when I ...

by solpo
Nov 07 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: It's a Jeep!!!
Cons: Everything else

When it was time for my wife (then girlfriend) to get a car, she wanted a Wrangler. After test driving a Rav-4, CR-V, Explorer, Cherokee, and two Wranglers, she bought the Wrangler.

It was a purple Wrangler SE (4-cylinder) with a hard top,...

A Fun Secondary Car

by rinyt
Nov 14 '01 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Convertible, 4X4, Excellent Resale, Unlimited Vertical Storage, Just Plain Fun
Cons: Highway Travel, Cargo Room , Just Plain Torture
The Bottom Line: A very fun vehicle, but not good for serious traveling. Not the ideal primary vehicle.

I owned a '98 Wrangler Sahara until I just couldn't take it anymore – now I miss it. It was some sort of love-hate relationship.

At speeds under 45 mph, the Jeep is a nice ride with the top up or down. At highway speeds however, the...

Off Road Only Please

by dongeeL
Oct 20 '99 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 3.0 Recommended: No 

Pros: Small Turning Radius, Short Off-road fun
Cons: Wind Noise, Poor Acceleration and Handling

I always thought jeeps were cool and always wanted to own one. But, somehow I never got to buy a jeep. My dream came true when I was transferred to a new job constructing a section of highway; I was given a jeep that had been barely broken in with...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Great suspension
Cons: changing the roof a little bit of a hassel

When My son asked for his first car and he wanted a jeep i was a little bit skeptical in puchasing one due to the safety hazards everyone hears about. Many people say that they are not safe SUV's because they have the tendency to flip over, and...

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Convertible in the summer, 4-wheel drive in the winter
Cons: Limited storage capacity, no back doors, or trunk/hatchback

Never in my wildest dreams would I have ever imagined I would be a Jeep Wrangler owner, but I am. And I am not sure if my life will ever be the same without one now.

I have always been a compact car driver; someone who looks for the...

Nothing but fun

by vienna
Jun 30 '00 - Updated Sep 12 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: great look, good off-road and on, easy to add fun additions, many different options
Cons: eats gas, mediocre factory stereo, not really a passenger car

My boyfriend and I are a two car household. I own a Jetta and he owns a 1998 Wrangler Sport. He travels often on business and will usually take my car to leave at the airport because it's less likely to be broken into. I don't complain. When he takes...

Finally, a vehicle to be proud of!

by THRDSTG
Sep 03 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: The best off-road vehicle ever built
Cons: Load on the highway (the only con I have)

Motivation:
Are you a jeep person? If you don't know, then you probably aren't. Let's face it, Jeeps aren't for everyone. I can't tell you how many people I have talked to just after buying a jeep, and all they do is complain about the noisy soft...

Hard/soft top considerations and an option you may not have thought of

by steinfeld
Dec 16 '99 - Updated Dec 17 '99 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: With dual tops, each eliminates inconvenience of the other
Cons: Can be costly

Here’s an option for Wrangler tops you probably haven’t heard or thought of if you’re considering the dual top option: buy your Jeep with a soft top, then buy an after market hard top. The dual top option that is available for Wranglers is an excellent...

Dec 13 '99 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 5.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Handling, fun factor, off-road prowess
Cons: cargo space, fuel economy

I now own my 3rd Jeep product and figured it was time to let the interested public know what I've known for the past 12 years. Jeeps are truly everything they're meant to be.

My first Jeep was an 87 Commanche sport truck. A perfect starter...

Jeep Zone

by Zone
Aug 25 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: fun and handy
Cons: hungry buggy

You can drive a car. You can drive a truck. Or you can drive a Jeep. In my opinion, jeeps offer a totally divergent proposition all their own. If you’re driving needs include fun, you don’t need to budget carefully on fuel, you enjoy the spontaneity of...

7 things about the Jeep Wrangler

by Hanny
Jan 13 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: convertable, powerful, tight turning radius, fun
Cons: bumpy ride, noisy soft top, interior room.

I have had two, and might be a bit biased. My first Jeep was a 93-wrangler hardtop. I purchased a soft top and soft doors for it, then drove it around for a couple of years and sold it. My second Jeep I still own, a 98-wrangler hard and soft top. It has...

Pros: the BEST off road capability, fun ride
Cons: slow, lack of storage

When my husband bought his 98 Jeep Wrangler SE, I basically disappeared for a couple of months. :) It is his BABY....which is understandable - it's a great vehicle, for OFF roading.

We bought this vehicle because my husband liked the idea of...

Jan 26 '00 

Author's Product Rating: Product Rating: 4.0 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: suspension is widened, can be a Convertible, Doors come off also
Cons: can't hold many people. no trunk space

I purchased a '98 Jeep Wrangler and I enjoy more every day. If your interested in a All Terrain Machine then you'll be happy and glad with a Wrangler. I've always enjoyed JEEPS, especially when I first rode in a CJ-7. I had the most fun. In the...
