great city car

steel bumpers, easy to park, low maintenance. You wouldn't think it, but it's a great city car! The only issue is that I have a softtop which is each to break into, but luckily that hasn't happened to me.

2005 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon

All I want to say is that the jeep goes and runs the morgue very well, has never had mechanical problems because it has been maintained with great care and has always been changed while it was needed. For more information about my jeep please contact me at my number here

I always wanted to buy a jeep.

I am happy with 2006 jeep purchased, except the recalls. The fun has just began with belonging to Jeep Club!

Jeep Rubicon (TJ)

They don't make them like this anymore. Better than new models. All cast iron 4.0l block. Have seen many with over 200,000 miles. They seem to last and parts are easily available, if you need any.

I love this Jeep

Never needed much just a little spring time tune up each year to keep it great. Used Royal Purple when applicable. Nothing beats no top, no doors... Rochelle will be missed.

Niche Car

The Wrangler is an interesting breed. It's not comfortable, it doesn't handle well, it's not safe, nor is it efficient. But we still LOVE it. It's far from perfect, which is why it gets 4/5. It's comfort rating is based on the fact that it has nice seats. We all know a bare bones, mostly waterpoof convertible won't be comfortable. Exterior Styling is great, but the gray plastics on the bumper and fenders are just a bad choice. The interior honestly sucks. My knees hit the roll up window handles, it uses hard plastics that hurt my elbows, the steering wheel is ugly, the upgraded sound system sucks. I could go on all day. The 4.0 is a great performer, and with basic mods can have some pep. This car wasn't designed to handle well on pavement, and it doesnt. Value is interesting. It's hard to say that an overpriced, tiny, uncomfortable, relatively unsafe vehicle with few options is a good value. I love my Jeep, but it's totally not for everyone. It's only a great buy if you want a cool, reliable, convertible 4x4, or an offroad capable vehicle.

Best vehicle I ever owned

I bought my 2005 Jeep Wrangler Sport I6 242 4.0L High Output back in April 2008. It had about 21k miles on it. Now it's September 2015. I still have it and still LOVE IT! Every time I drive it, she brings me joy. I have about 117k miles on it now, and for the most part, it has been VERY reliable. One of the main reasons I bought it was because I live off about 3 miles of dirt roads (in Florida where it rains almost everyday). I didn't want to drive a sports car through that again. So, I consider it my sports car, in a Jeep body. I bought a Volant CAI for it and that really did the trick as far as a few extra horses and some better low end torque. If you are looking at buying a 2005 Jeep, do your homework, get a carfax (I've seen people abuse these and they still work) so you get some more input. Have fun and continue the Jeep WAVE and always get the inline 6. That's one of Jeeps best ever Motor's.
