Jeep Wrangler Change Vehicle

"Typical jeep, very slow acceleration poor emergency handling, must take turns slowly, my jeep is a 2 dr version. With all terrain tires the ride is actually not too bad, put on off road tires and ride is terrible. Braking is okay, but could be much shorter stopping distance."

"Handling is jittery. Car is all over the road. Acceleration is also mediocre at best. Fatiguing to drive it on longer trips."

"poor handling...great offload, but poor on highway"

"Weak on acceleration at times, handling is sometimes mushy due to larger after market tires. Turning ratio is excellent"

"The car handles well, especially off-road, which is a major reason we bought this vehicle. However, even with the new engine it feels somewhat underpowered, though it performs satisfactorily, even hauling a trailer that is near the weight limit. Please qualify this comment by the factor that I have driven a 2004 Dodge Durango with a Hemi engine for the past 11 years and have been spoiled by its power."

"I love driving manual, and there are less and less options on the market. The Wrangler is just a lot of fun, not a sensible choice but I do plenty of those regardless."

"The acceleration lagged directly from the factory, so I added an aftermarket device called "Pedal Commander" which connects between the accelerator and the onboard computer. Now my response is extremely responsive."

"Excellent acceleration"

"It is great to go off road!"

"Seats are narrow and hard top leaks."

"It is a very capable vehicle that inspires confidence but it is not a long-distance highway cruiser. It has a firm, truck-like ride that I like but is not for everybody."

"Love the looks both inside and out."

"I enjoy driving it. I am aware CR is not impressed by this vehicle, but people dot buy Wranglers for comfort, but for usefullness."

"The Jeep is an iconic vehicle that is utilitarian in design and execution. While fun to drive, the term exhilarating does not come to mind. The acceleration leaves the driver wanting a bit more power. The rear seats should be pitched back another 15 a 20 degrees to enhance comfort."

"It’s really fine. I would really have preferred more standard horsepower out of the gate for acceleration purposes. It makes entering traffic easier and it helps with smooth manual transmission shifting."

"Great acceleration and all around fun to drive."

"View of the road, acceleration."

"excellent pickup speed for passing. Handling is great for small turning radius to get out of tight spots"

"Jeep drives well. It’s a manual transmission. Has good exceleration. The boxy design means it’s it tougher in the wind"

"The seats have improved substantially from our 2007 Wrangler and there is plenty of leg room for a tall person. Ergonomics are excellent overall"

"there are a lot of aftermarket work on this vehicle. suspension, tires, wheels, many LEDs, etc that makes it look great. very attractive. the plain original Jeep is not that pretty"

"narrow seats,cramped seating, rear seats impossible to get in & out of for an adult."

"Having a removable hard top I thought it would be loud and hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It not bad at all. Temp is no different than a normal SUV. Cabin noise is minimal."

"GPS is difficult to read not enough detail"

"As you note annually, the Jeep Wrangler does not have a good "ride" in the sense that CU rates cars. I KNEW this when I acquired it. I use it for random errands, as well as to launch a small boat from a trailer. Perfect for my needs!"

"Harsh ride and hard seates"

"Height of driver seat continuously lowers. Need to use the pump lever to raise seat."

"Back seats are not comfortable on long trips. Need more position options on back seats."

"A lot of noise inside cabin with the soft top jeep especially on highway. Not very smooth ride, seats are very vertical in the back and not a lot of room between front seat backs and back seat for car seats. Speakers pose problem with head clearance in the back seat as well."

"There is a bit of road noise due to the fact that it's a Jeep with a removable top...to be expected. The ride is like a sports car, which I also expected and like, even at age 74!"

"Excellent ride Jeep has really improved the ride over time"

"Noisy ride, but seats are decent"

"noise could be less"

"More comfortable and elegant than I thought it would be."

"Seats are terrible with little to no support. After the first year the foam is compressed so bad ther is no support left."

"Very deep seats allow for leg support"

"The ride is just as I expected with a vehicle of this type. Of course, it is NOT a sedan, so I don't it expect it to ride like one. I got a Jeep for the FUN of off-roading, not for the experience of daily driving. That's what peeves me off the most about your rating of the Jeep, it's not for comfort, it's for FUN!"

"drives like a jeep not good not bad just different"

"well made sturdy vehicle"

"I particularly value this model because it is the anniversary celebration model with symbols (such as the 1941) and the special color "Sarge Green" that celebrates the model's history."

"Ability to go preety much any with it"

"Solid vehicle; great in snow and other conditions, holds resale value"

"The Jeep is outdated: It lacks a backup camera, blind spot monitoring, better transmission system to get the MPG up"

"I understand that the market for a wrangler is in high demand and the price reflects that, I'm good with that. However I feel as if I got treated unfairly at my dealership for the lease deal I got."

"Very reliable and dependable. High trade-in value even after 8-10 years."

"We purchased this vehicle to tow behind our motorhome. It is definitely not a luxury car but sure is fun to drive and tows easily. Not at all sorry"

"it was a new prior year model Rubicon. the dealer made a great deal to get it off their lot. the wrangler has been built up for fun on the trails. can't go wrong with a Rubicon!"

"got what I wanted & paid for. could be less noise though"

"Very good value. Use it for short trips and trailering a boat."

"For what you get, the jeep is wholly overpriced, it is 2018 and fuel mileage is still rock bottom. The soft top operation is a joke, no longer simple operation, only advantage is weight compared to hard top. Blue tooth linking to radio from smartphone is horrible, cuts out. Many times trying to get sound to work for navigation off of phone is hair pulling. Of course ride is rough, even with highway tires. Emergency handling, unless you know what you’re doing, is pretty much nonexistent. Interior is over styled with a lot of useless components just to justify jacking up the price. The oem bumpers are a total joke as is the little pipe jack that came with jeep."

"You get a four wheel drive vehicle capable of off road, snow, rain or pavement. You get the ability to have a soft top or a hard top and can convert either to a convertible. You are easily able to remove to doors. All of this is a one of a kind vehicle and experience. Rough ride is a part of the experience. Love it."

"Great resale value. No problems in first three years. Quality seems good."

"My Jeep is a great balance of utility and comfort. It drives and feels like a truck, rather than a large sedan, which I love."

"driver position front view sight clunky seat position front and rear"
