  Expectations meet - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
  By royboy - October 24 - 10:00 am

  I live in Southern California with an active family. We enjoy hiking, the outdoors, and getting off-road responsibly. I wanted a fun, outdoor- enabled, short commute vehicle. After much searching I decided the ‘X’ was the perfect vehicle for us. I looked at other SUV’s (the Suzuki Vitara/Tracker, Nissan Xterra, & Isuzu Rodeo) and even other AWD cars (Subaru Impreza WRX & Forester). Wranglers have a healthy aftermarket products community, simple utilitarian style, and are just plain fun to drive. Yes, they are less fuel efficient and comfortable than a car but I knew that coming in and have no regrets. We’ve had “the bee” (its yellow) for 7 months and look forward to many more.

  Wrangler Wreck - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
  By frosty1 - September 6 - 2:00 am

  Our Wrangler was crashed into the back of a van at 35mph, the airbags did not deploy, the seat belt did not retract and our daughter broke her nose on the windshiel, $9500 damage. We have found other related airbag incidents in similar Jeeps, Chrysler investigated for 3 months and determined "the impact, which did not involve the frame, did not create the longitudinal deceleration to deploy the airbags." This care will not protect you.

  Fun to drive all summer with the top down. In the winter there is no stopping you. Aside from a little bumpy ride and not the greatest gas mileage this vehicle is GREAT!

  Its a Jeep thing! - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
  By Matthew J - July 24 - 10:00 am

  Wrangler X gives you the chance to purchase a 6 cyl soft top for about 2 grand less than its sibling, Sport. You can specifically choose the extras that are important to you without being forced to take delivery on a vehicle with extras you dont want or need. Wrangler is no doubt a fun vehicle to drive. You can get anywhere and highway driving isnt too bad. If youve always wanted a Jeep...take the plunge...its worth it!

  BUYER BEWARE! - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
  By fife5150 - June 23 - 7:10 am

  My second and LAST Jeep (also bought a 1997 Sport new). Ive had nothing but trouble with Jeep Wranglers. Cant believe I was stupid enough to buy another after all the problems with the first. The 2002 Sahara wouldnt start the other day -- had to have it towed. Im a little more than 3000 miles outside warranty, so the fuel pump module was a nice $600 treat! Mechanic said much is prematurely wrong with this vehicle after his inspection. Total bill $1195! BUYER BEWARE!

  Bummed - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
  By Are you Kidding - June 17 - 2:00 am

  I was totally disappointed with the Jeep Wrangler experience. I was expecting an SUV that was fun to drive and got just the opposite. Oh well, back to driving a truck.

  Good Off-Road - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
  By pgardner - April 24 - 10:00 am

  Good off-road performer. My 6 cyls gas mileage has been 15mpg off-road(4- Low), 17mpg city, and as high as 21mpg highway. For more ground clearance, Im running 33x10.5x15 BFG MT/KMs on the stock 15x7 wheels, had to do a 2" spring spacer lift to fit.

  Best car Ive ever had - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
  By witchspawn - February 5 - 2:00 am

  Ive had everything from a mustang to firebird and back to a chevy pick up. This has been more fun than all of them together. I drive to the mountains a lot and often pass 4 runners that are stuck in the snow. The performance of this thing is more than I ever expected and has been a very good experience.

  My first Jeep... - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
  By Gemini751 - December 16 - 10:00 am

  Prior to my Jeep I had a Geo Tracker... a bit cheaper with alot of options... but after many years of wanting a Jeep, finally a year ago, I was able to purchase a 2000 Jeep Sport, and its been awesome. I love its solid feel, and how it drives like a truck. Its a Jeep, its not going to have alot of pickup, but as mentioned in many of these reviews the gas mileage could be better. Overall... Im extremely happy with my Jeep... and can see myself driving one for a long time!
