Most fun, not most reliable.

Jeep wranglers are great vehicles. They?re a multi use vehicle with plenty of seating, cargo space, and best off all can be used off road. Whether you?re on the beach, in some mud, or driving over some rocks, wranglers are the ultimate outdoor adventure vehicle. Even if you?re just driving on pavement, you?re sure to have fun doing it. They last a long time and hold their value well. They do require a lot of up keep and maintenance to ensure it continues running smoothly as they get older. I purchased my wrangler knowing it wasn?t going to be the most gas efficient or wallet friendly vehicle, but I wanted a toy that could handle a lot of adventures.

Smile every time I turned the key

This was a fun off road vehicle and a decent on-road driver for every day use. It was very reliable and low service needs. Easily customizable.

It's a Jeep!!

Great car. Built for purpose and built well. Not the most comfortable car for long highway drives with the soft top but topless or with hardtop is fine. It really did everything it was asked and more. I didn't take this specific Wrangler 4WD'ing but have taken other '06 Wranglers in the past and never had an issue.

Overpriced for its condition

Paint issues, hardtop not fitting on drivers side, and not responsive. Salesman was not knowledgeable about the vehicle.

Jeeps are fun!!!

First, a Jeep is a Jeep. Do not buy a Jeep and then complain about the ride quality. It rides like a Jeep. The mileage leaves much to be desired. The fabric sides and roof mean that your laptop is not secure even if you lock the doors. Over the years, it has broken down once or twice. Second, if you love Jeeps, none of the shortcomings matter. There is nothing quite like taking the top and doors off on a beautiful day and cruising around town. I love my Jeep but am under no delusion that it is a family car or a great road trip car. It is a Jeep and it is a lot of fun.

Most sought after last TJ..bullet proof 4 cylinder

This is the best looking, real Jeep ever produced. Bullet proof 4 cylinder that gets 28 mpg. Great new 6 speed tranny. Perfect size for parking. Easy to tow, just hook up tow bar and go!. Best Jeep I've ever owned..sold motorhome, don't need anymore.

FUn & Fabulous

This is fun to drive and goes anywhere - I had a 3 1/4" lift installed and 31" tires which made all the difference from a plain Jane Jeep, to a head turner and everyone wanted it.
