Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: Very green purchase.More stylish with age.More Fun 10 year later.No Car Note.
Cons: Blah Blah Blah... gas mileage.Back seat leg room.Loud for cell phone use (bluetooth of course)
The Bottom Line: Dreaming of a Jeep is like dreaming of sunny beaches in the dead of a midwest winter. You gotta just do it... and a Jeep will get you there!
I'm more in love with my 99 Jeep Wrangler today than the day I bought it new off the lot. I have a 6 cylinder 4.0 manual, with 10 years of aftermarket goodies put on it. And here lies one of the less talked about positive attributes of owning ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Go anywhere, do anything.
Cons: Gas.
The Bottom Line: Buying a Jeep is like buying a family Dog, each breed has it’s quirks. When you get past that – you either love it, or you hate it.
I bought my 99 wrangler sport with 52,000 miles on it and now in (2007) it has 120,000 miles on it. I can tell you that nothing has ever gone wrong with it - that is to say, nothing that I didn't cause myself. I cracked the tranny once when I ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: goes ANYWHERE, agile, customizable, made for "free spirits"
Cons: drives like a tank on the road, sucks gas, limited storage/security
The Bottom Line: i've thought about trading it but i just can't. it is too much a reflection of my personality. easily customizable and loads of quirkiness,..the Wrangler is singularly unique.
i'd always been intrigued by the Jeep Wrangler and when my '93 Nissan Pathfinder totalled itself (courtesy of a broken timing belt) i took the plunge. my Wrangler is a '99 SE 4 cylinder 5-speed with hard top and tow package. i've loved it and loathed it ... read more

Cons: Not for yuppys! Bad Chrystler Paint!!!
The Bottom Line: I would reccomend this vehicle to those who know what they want and understand the consequences and also the good things about a Wrangler
I just bought my '99 Jeep Wrangler Sport two weeks ago at a Toyota/Volvo dealrership where I purchased my Volvos40. I liked the S40 but im glad I got the extended warranty on it. The retail value sucked and I was glad to get rid of it. I was ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: very cool, fun, goes anywhere
Cons: low gas mileage, not comfortable for very very long rides
The Bottom Line: You don't buy this car for the comfort. You buy it to off road, go anywhere, and be cool.
I bought my Jeep Wrangler because it was so cool. It still is a cool car. The style is classic and it gets tons of looks. You can do so much to it and with it. Jeep holds Camp Jeep every summer. You take your Jeep there and they show you what it ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Rugged, tough, sturdy (check your thesaurus for others) as they come in today's market.
Cons: Excess road noise. Soft top (including half doors) need complete re-design.
The Bottom Line: A true SUV. Not for execs, soccer moms, or status seekers.
Okay, Jeeps are not for everyone. I'll just comment on mine, since I've had it for over four years. It's a '99 Wrangler SE, with a 4-cylinder engine. A typical 'stripper' off the lot (no fringes, no back seat, or even a radio, I installed the radio I ... read more

Cons: Summers uncomfortable above 90. Noisy.
The Bottom Line: A good buy
First off, I have owned my Wrangler for about four years now and can tell you that this a solid vehicle. The best thing about Jeeps is that you can drive them ANYWHERE. This is very useful when trying to find a parking spot at a busy event. Not onl ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 10 Recommended: No
Pros: Made for real off-road use. Good security vs. older models.
Cons: Endless mechanical problems, poor design and quality. Low gas mileage.
The Bottom Line: A classic good idea (the Jeep) with enduring popularity but very poor execution. Endless problems due to poor build & design.
Purchased a 1999 Sahara Edition (top of the line) Wrangler brand new. Was purchased as an off-road/snow capable general purpose vehicle. Never got to test the off road capabilities due to constant mechanical problems. 4 years later I am selling it whi ... read more

Pros: The only way to travel off the beaten path!
Cons: This is no minivan!
The Bottom Line: I recommend this for off road fun. She keeps her promises.
This is the funnest vehicle I have ever owned! I can go whenever I like. I can climb steep Jeep trails and not even shift into four wheel drive! The Jeep owns the off road experience.
The Jeep is very stable off road. You will be very ... read more

Pros: great look, fun driving
Cons: who cares?
The Bottom Line: Not a family vehicle, but tons of fun to drive, and it looks great. Get one if the time's right for you...
I always wanted a Jeep, but never thought it was the right car at the right time. Finally decided to purchase a used Wrangler (flame red, soft-top, 62K mi) with just a few add-ons to tool 'round town in. The price was right, and we still have the other ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 10 Recommended: No
Pros: It "looks" cool...even at the side of the road, broken down!
Cons: Very cheaply made, Engine is a piece of junk.
The Bottom Line: Unless you have a lot of free time on your hands and are very mechanically inclined, don't buy this vehicle.
I wanted a Jeep since I was 12 years old. They've always looked like such fun. I finally was able to afford one and purchased it brand new. The day I drove it home from the dealership (30 miles on it), the engine blew. I had a brand new engine and ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Good torque, turning radius, and improved suspension.
Cons: Rides like a short wheel-base SUV. More power would be nice at highway speeds.
The Bottom Line: If you understand what a Wrangler is and isn't, you'll know if this vehicle is for you. Buy only the V-6.
In rural Michigan, this author's Wrangler does the job keeping the driveway clear.
Our driveway is about 450 feet long and the approach from the road rises approximately 10 feet in elevation in half that distance. A commercial snow plowing ... read more

Pros: Incredible durability, amazing four wheel drive capabilities, all round fun vehicle to drive
Cons: Slightly rough travel, wind noise at higher speeds
The Bottom Line: Once you've driven a Jeep, you'll never go back.
After owning a 1994 Jeep Cherokee for about 5 years, I felt it was about time to make a change. But what else could I possibly turn to except another quality made Jeep product?
On the most unexpected lot sat a newly arrived Jeep Wrangler. ... read more

Pros: Fun in the sun, and the four wheel drive will take you anywhere.
Cons: 4.0 liter engine guzzles gas, noisy with top down.
The Bottom Line: The Wrangler is fun, goes anywhere and is a must for the outdoors crowd.
I bought my 99 Jeep Wrangler used this last July 2001. It had about 40,000 miles on it and exhibited the normal wear and tear of a two year old vehicle. I had considered a purchase of a four wheel drive vehicle for the past two years. I had been driving ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 30 Recommended: No
Pros: Summer fun, powerful
Cons: Gas guzzler, noise level, engine problems
The Bottom Line: This vehicle is not practical for commuting: horrible road noise and gas consumption. Enjoyable for off-roading, short trips, and sunny days.
1999 just after I graduated college, I decided I deserved a reward. I had never owned a new vehicle, and all the ones I had owned were practical and conservative. So, I decided to splurge on my 1999 Jeep Wrangler Sport. At first I loved it: nothing ... read more

Pros: ultimate off-road machine, open-air freedom, Stick Shift
Cons: everything else
The Bottom Line: Ideal second "car"
As a new Chrysler employee driving a Toyota 4Runner, I thought I had better support the team and get a company product. After much deliberation, I elected the Wrangler, mainly because you cannot get a stick shift with a Cherokee.

Pros: the image
Cons: gas consumption, highway performance
The Bottom Line: It's a good second car, but don't get it as a first car or if you have a family.
I bought my '99 Jeep Wrangler about 6 months ago and I love it. It's 4 cylinder, 4WD, manual, and great for off-roading. That said, here are a few big cons that some people might take issue with, though I don't.
It's a gas hog. Ok, I used ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: As my wife proudly proclaims, "It's a Jeep!"
Cons: Women don't wear high-heels because it's good for them; Wranglers are no different.
The Bottom Line: If you're looking for car comfort and convenience, then buy something else. If you off-road, or just crave the style of a Wrangler, then buy one.
My wife and I had always wanted a Wrangler. Who can blame us, they just scream "style". Of course, it's not the same kind of style that a BMW or a sports-car offers, but it's style just the same.
We bought our first Wrangler when the 1998 ... read more

Pros: Fun to drive and great off road!
Cons: Be prepared to spend money on gas!
The Bottom Line: An American icon
I always wanted a Wrangler, don't ask me why! Perhaps it was the feeling of not being enclosed in a box while driving, the sun shining on your shoulders. Or perhaps it was because I was tired of getting stuck in the winter snow and not being able ... read more
