What Owners Say
"Peak power is near 6200 RPM. Not enough useful power below 3000 RPM. Passing requires downshifting 2-3 gears. Oil filter/housing design allows oil to bypass the filter."
Anonymous, MI (2012 Jeep Wrangler)"It requires constant attention or it is all over the road. Definitely not a luxury ride."
MARY R., OR (2012 Jeep Wrangler)"Great vehicle for around town parks easy and you can see very well from all angles"
PETE K., CA (2012 Jeep Wrangler)"This is my second Wrangler. this unlimited had all the off road ability of my older 2 door, but rides way better and is much quieter. On road handling limits are moderate, but very confident. the engine has excellent power, but could use a bit more torque in high range. low range ability in outstanding,In my opinion, there is nothing else on the market with the combination of attributes like the Wrangler."
CATHY S., OK (2012 Jeep Wrangler)"I have considerable aftermarket items on the vehicle, some, such as bigger tires and heavy bumpers that slow down acceleration, but it still has plenty of power. I have had considerable engine problems and Jeep finally replaced the engine."
LELAND S., UT (2012 Jeep Wrangler)"Great driving on & off road."
Bill W., NV (2012 Jeep Wrangler)"tight turning radius, which comes in extremely handy for maneuvering and parking in a city; handles beautifully in snow and slush"
Elizabeth S., MD (2012 Jeep Wrangler)"Very good acceleration with 3.6 engine. Handling is typical Jeep."
Anonymous, NC (2012 Jeep Wrangler)"I love the seating position and the handling characteristics of my Wrangler. It feels like you're in control and have a commanding view of the road. I know Consumer Reports is down on this vehicle, mostly for its road manners, but I have always loved how they ride and handle."
Aaron C., NY (2012 Jeep Wrangler)"Auto stick doesn't work all the time for manual shifting..I want more hp"
Michael S., KY (2012 Jeep Wrangler)"Great driving experience."
Steward S., CA (2012 Jeep Wrangler)"Jeep Wranglers are just a lot of joy to drive on and off road!"
Anonymous, OH (2012 Jeep Wrangler)"Excellent acceleration and good handling with doors and hard top off."
Anonymous, SC (2012 Jeep Wrangler)"As expected for a Jeep. It is all about the experience of being a Jeep owner you love the car so much you put up with a loud ride and a bumpy one. It’s part of the nastalgia of owning an off road vehicle. The bad is the seats aren’t super comfortable"
Jennifer C., MA (2012 Jeep Wrangler)"Tepid acceleration; 2012 engine update was an improvement but transmission programming dampens the enthusiasm."
Anonymous, LA (2012 Jeep Wrangler)"I didn’t think that a Jeep had that much 'get up & go'. But to kick it into passing gear it will move out. The Jeep handles very well & corners well."
Cameron S., GA (2012 Jeep Wrangler)"This mean machine can power through any situation. There is nowhere it can’t go. I have ultimate confidence that my Wrangler can go over, around, or through any obstacle I encounter on or off the road."
Anonymous, FL (2012 Jeep Wrangler)"Very easy to maneuver with good acceleration."
Anonymous, KS (2012 Jeep Wrangler)"Handling is great, very responsive and solid feedback."
