Overall Owner Satisfaction

Owner Satisfaction with:

Driving Experience

Includes acceleration and handling

What Owners Say

"The front suspension has only 3/4 length shock absorbers that allows the wheels to ride on springs alone on roads. At about 55 miles an hour and on a highway that is roughened with mini rills, the front wheels will vibrate rough requiring slowing down or speeding up. On good roads, the car rides smooth."

Anonymous, UT (2006 Jeep Wrangler)

"Jeep Wrangler is a purpose built vehicle. It's not very comfortable, it's noisy, doesn't handle very well, but we purchased it for a tow car for our motor coach, and to use at destinations. It has performed perfectly for that use."

"Good acceleration and handling"

Thomas N., CA (2006 Jeep Wrangler)

"It's a traditional Jeep, so handles just as I'd expect. I have made modifications (lift kit, bigger wheels and tires), so handling is not same as when new from factory. Great acceleration from engine this size."
