chris.brock Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 I've never had a Jeep Wrangler, I've always wanted one, so I can relate to the OP you guys are talking about mileage, ride, quality issues etc here's my advice, Paudash, you only live once, so what the heck? Maybe if we walk in together and buy 1 each we'll get a better deal??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pike slayer Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 i have a 08 jeep liberty and i love my jeep. If you are looking at used and fuel mileage the liberty might be the better option. brand new the cherokee trailhawk and if money is of no concern and you want a sweet ride for the bush and cruising around with the top off and doors off get the wrangler. if you wont like it the wranglers have awesome resale value.

JoshS Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 I had a '03 TJ for a little over a year and sold it last summer. It was a fun thing to drive... but noisy, bumpy and lacked comfort. I like the new full size wranglers.. they're probably a lot more comfortable than my old tj. I was in the shop a few times, nothing huge but a lot of little things started to go so I sold it and moved on. Those things rust nicely so take are of it well if you get one. I put a nice amount of clicks on mine in 16 or so months and to be honest, after I switched to a comfortable ride I won't go back to one of those just because I drive a lot. 40k/year is a lot, so make sure you're comfortable in it if you wanna keep it for a long time. I do kinda miss driving that thing around, they do have something about them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captpierre Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Consumer Reports consistently rates them near the bottom overall and below average for reliability. For that reason I went with a 4Runner. Less cash to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bacon Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 Friend of mine never got stuck in his life till he bought a jeep. But he got stuck further away than he could have got stuck in any other vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aplumma Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 I had a cj5 for a few years it was good off the road but it was windy, noisy and cold in the winter. I found a hard top International Scout that was just a tank anywhere you pointed it it would go. Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lookinforwalleye Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Ya Toyota always gets it right....just check the millions of recalled vehicles the last while. Seems most of the negative comments here are from non Jeep owners which is not surprising, I love mine and would not hesitate to buy another!!!

grizzlybri Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 (edited) I'm in the same boat, I have been looking at a few different models as I'm planning on getting a new "car" this year, and the jeep is one of the ones i've been looking at so this is giving me allot of good information.
