    With gas at $3.70 in southern California, my jeep is getting a little hard for me to afford, getting a whopping 12 MPG. Extremely fun car to drive, great offroad capabilities, and sweet to have the top off and cruise out to the beach. Good car to have if you dont do a lot of commuting, maybe as a second car, just a toy. Havent had much problems, one $500 fuel line problem. other than that nothing. fun car though

    If you want to look good at the beach or driving thru your neighborhood, get a Wrangler Sport! Oh, and get one if you want a plastic and cheap interior, awful gas mileage, a hit or miss transmission, absolutely no cargo room, windows that scratch when you breathe, ventilation that turns on and off without turning it on or off, a cd player that skips at every bump, painful shocks, check engine light that is always on, POOR Dealer SERVICE, parts that RUST (screws, attachments on vehicle exterior, windows) and if you like replacing your windshield every three months, GET A WRANGLER. I cannot wait to get rid of this piece of garbage.

    This is my first Jeep and I love it! Got a good deal on a used Wrangler Sport with only 54,000 miles on it and its everything I expected. Yep, the ride is stiff, gas mileage around 16 mpg and theres a good bit of wind noise but thats what you get with a Jeep! You wouldnt buy a horse and then complain about no air conditioning, would you? Enjoy it for what it is, a fun, go anywhere vehicle that you can modify as much or little as you want. You can get it muddy, run over bumps, drive through ice and water and if you take care of it, it will get you where you want to go. Fill the thing with gas and go find an adventure!

    First let me say that I am 58 years old and always wanted a jeep, but life got in the way. I am a pilot and marine captain. I own a beemer 5 series, an F150, and 2 Ford Focus. So if I want to haul, I take the f150, if I am going on road trip, its the beemer, if I want to conserve fuel, its one of the focuses. But if I want to have fun, its the jeep. Bought it used and I had to replace the starter, the battery, and a few bulbs, but its 6 years old. The ride is not as bad as I thought it would be. But, folks this thing is too much fun, you will find excuses to go somewhere. I can be heard saying, honey we need something from the store? Get one, the fun factor is worth it all.

    Always wanted one and now I have one. The experience is more fun than I thought. I would get another so I could have one just in case. Dont want every one having one. Ah, ok... Test drive one and yourll be hooked. I was tossed between a 2002 Camero SS and thought this was more of a change and looked and drove alot more in control. : )
