Strength:
Sporty, fun, good handling. Excellent off-road capability.
Weakness:
Gas mileage ,of course. I've also had a leakeage problem around the windshield. My family has been driving Jeep since my dad was 23 years old and currently own four (a cherokee, a grand, a YJ, and a CJ). I would never buy anything but a Jeep. Of the four that we own my Wrangler is definitely my favorite. It has gotten me out of the snow, the mud, and even gotten me a few dates. This thing will go anywhere unlike it's wannabe "competition". This car was a graduation present and I will keep it forever. In fact I am in the market for a new Jeep (different model) but I will always keep my Wrangler. It is the best car that I have ever driven. As for it being cold in the winter, I have NEVER had that problem. In fact, my hardtop Sahara gets downright HOT. And for those that think it's going to tip, then you don't know how to drive it. It's such a wonderful feeling when I have people (both men and women) tell me they wish that they had my car. Similar Products Used: Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, CJ-5 |

-Size, Mobility, Endless limitations of driving terrain, low end power, reliability and most importantly able to hold its value$$$
Weakness:
-Having to drive everyone you know around on hot summer days with the top down. I could imagine worse things! I purchased my 1997 Wrangler in June of 1997 with 8,000 miles on it. I recently sold it with 75,000 miles. From my original purchase price to what I sold it for it roughly cost me $80 a month to drive. That is unbelievable!!! I had more fun in that car than I have had in any other car. I beat the crap out of that thing and it just came back for more. AIRBORNE a couple of times. I remember when I first purchased this jeep everyone told me that it would tip over. Believe me you can not tip this thing over( I tried). I sold this with the original brake pads, rotors everything. I had to put a starter in it about a month ago and that is it. I would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone looking to have a good time. I am already missing this vehicle and has only been a few days. I replaced it with a 2001 Grand Cherokee with all the bells and whistles and I would trade back in a second if my wife would let me.

hmmmmm.... ok gas mileage OK....enough of the smoozing. I'm pushing 40, and kicking myself for not buying one of these sooner. It's a whole new driving experience. The truck has been reliable so far, and has plenty of power. Get the I6. Also , get the 25D pkg...and get the TRACK-LOK...unless you plan on installing a locker (those of you who are serious Jeepers will know what that is). Similar Products Used: It's a Jeep, there are no similar products :-) |

Strength:
Power, looks, off-road capabilities. I could keep going but i am not
Weakness:
Leaks(terrible) I fixed a few but they just keep coming back. Around the rear windows, around the windshield, around the fresh air vent.Endless amounts of water. Well where do i begin. It is the only vehicle that you can take the top off and cruise up to the lake and people stare at you. It is the only vehicle that you can strap 2 4-wheelers behind it and people stare at you. My jeep has a 304 v8. My goodness it kicks out some major horsepower. I have some 12" buckshot mudders and i can spin my tires in 1st and oh yea 2nd gears. I LOVE IT. Like they say. Jeep ITS THE ONLY ONE... Similar Products Used: 1995 yukon....it really doesn't compare but it is the only other suv i have driven. |

Well lets face it there is only one "jeep"
Weakness:
ahhhh yes,where do i begin.leak leak leak leak.when i bought my jeep the main oil seal done.Normally on any other vechicle this is a $300 max job.But oh to see the delight or frown depending on if the mechanic is greedy or lazy,when he finds out you have a 4x4 and the transfer case must be removed.the 300 dollar job is now 600.then the gas tank started to leak.because of the jeep mechanical designers infinate idiocy the left and right side of the tank are exposed but luckily I am here for you all to read about it(no thank to you smokers who throw your buts out the window.. :-).then every gasket will leak at least twice in one year. I say again "THER IS ONLY ONE JEEP",and if fixed up nice with all the accesories they make a very good all terrain and all purpose vechicle. Similar Products Used: for the price "my" jeep gave a lot of problems.I have purched other vechicles in the relavitly same price range with not near the amount of issues.But .............. |

Abilities offroad are simply amazing, at first. But I dont think that many
Weakness:
Windsheild folds down, only a weakness when a truck in front you drives over sand when you are going over 40 behind. Feels like 100 tiny bee stings on your face. Dont try this at home kid. Gas mileage, of course. Loud, of course. Windsheild is prone to pebbles kicked up by cars in front. If you really like the sun, buy it. Its the convertible convirtible available. No wrangler owner will argue with me on this one. The windsheild folds down the doors come off. Try to beat that, try. Not a car for creature comforts, go figure. Not a family car. Not all that fun in the cold. But any warm day will make up for that once you crank it. Makes you pray for sunshine and hate rainy days. Overall I couldnt have made a better choice. Did I mention it probably one the most fun things made for mankind. It is. Similar Products Used: The wrangler doest really compare, it has it's own genre. |

Out of the box off road

Oil leaks. Common Jeep! this is my 3rd Jeep in 15 years and this is the worst one! Every 3 months its in the shop for a leaking this or that! I have found this to be a common problem with other Jeep owners with 98-01 Jeeps ... I'm ready to trade for an older Jeep or an Isuzu Amigo. Jeep needs to get a clue soon Great truck except for the 10 vists to the dealer of Oil, transmition and rear diff leaks! Similar Products Used: 1992 YJ jeep, 1988 Trooper. Both very soild trucks. with over 180K on both. The 10yr, 120K warrenty is looking very good right now with Isuzu! |

The most capable 4x4 available for under $40,000.
Weakness:
Daimler Chrysler, come on, have you seen the new Liberty It has been nothing but fun. It may not be as smooth on the road as a tracker or sportage but then again it is a REAL offroad vehicle. If you are looking to buy one just because of the soft top then buy something else. Odds are you will never use it for what it was designed for and you'll just complain about the interior space and no vanity mirror to check your lipstick Similar Products Used: Nothing compares to it, it's a jeep! |

Goes up and down ANYTHING like a mountain goat. Top down and the whole world is there to see. No fears in the cold New England snow ('cept for those other monster Inquistion drivers). Of course, the wave. 'Nuff said
Weakness:
The usuals: gas, space, somewhat bumpy. But whadya expect?! Some complain of comfort issues but I'd trade all that to stay in my baby. Was surprisingly comfy to/from the Great Smokies and you don't hafta stick to the main drags with the Campers and Tourons. Avoid the 4-banger and go for the gusto of the 6 as well as as many accoutrements as you can afford(beat it outta them if ya hafta!). Giving it all the fried turds 'cause my baby works for me. If you wanna be in a lux mobile with power windows/locks, etc. go someplace else. If ya wanna be on top of a mountain enjoying the fresh air, then go for it but tread lightly so others can enjoy the view. Similar Products Used: "There is only one." |
