I love my Jeep - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
By Dannigirl - April 24 - 10:00 amShorter persons can easily adjust the seats and the steering wheel to accommodate. The Jeep makes it makes it easy for me to parallel park without embarrassing myself. Off road I have been impressed with the engine power and maneuvering capability. I pulled my husbands Ram 4x4 out of the mud with ease but havent used the limited slip differentials. Having the vehicle in 4x4 in 1st gear and not needing to accelerate is great - this baby pulls itself along nicely without stalling. The wider fender flares give it a unique style. I love that "bump and sway" has been eliminated - older stock models are all over the road when hitting a dip or bump.

Favorite Car Ever - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
By Joshua Ash - March 12 - 10:00 amPut a set of 31x10.5x15 with chorme rims and this SUV looks excellent. Plenty of torque and low range 4x4 performance for the hardest rockcrawling or mudding. Great in the snow, mud, or rocks. Plus looks great on a sunny day with the top off.

This is a great car - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
By Boulder Wrangler - February 11 - 10:00 amI bought my 02 X and then customized. This is a great way to build the perfect offroad vehicle. I love this car--and my kids (3 and 6) love it too- -as does my wife. I have had no problems AT ALL. This car is perfectly designed for what it is-- though probably not for commuters :) The car is unstoppable in snow and is very well balanced. When it slides, it slides well and enhances control. The Jeep X is very low cost and can be easily customized.

Wranglers Rock - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
By Paul - December 19 - 3:10 pmIf a great car should give you a feeling of excitement and happiness when you get in and turn the key, Wranglers have got to be near the top of the list. You dont have to drive a Lexus, BMW or other fussy sled to have a car that actually transports you while adding a kick to your daily life. Wranglers dont go 0-60 in a nano second. They dont fly through a line of cones in record time. Actually they dont climb boulders. At least not in my daily grind. But then, most commuters dont get to drive our countrys beltway roads at rush hour going 150 mph. So, for fantasy, why not have a funmobile that is not afraid to pick up the mulch at Home Depot for a fraction of the cost?

Jeep Wrangler - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
By Carrie Cowell - October 1 - 10:00 amThe Jeep Wrangler is definetly not a car for everybody, but for people that like a fun ride and dont mind the bumps, this car is great. The pros are that it has 4 wheel drive in the winter and is a convertable in the summer. So you get the best of both worlds, and how many card do you know that you can do that. Also I like the feeling of freedom I get when I drive this car. Every time I get into my car it puts me in a good mood. The down sides are, it is not really great for groceries because there is not much storage space. And sometimes people complain about the bumpy ride. But all in all for me it is a daily escape and makes driving fun.

Remember Why & What Youre Buying - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
By onemansopinion - September 3 - 10:00 amI have envied the Jeep for off road abilities while my wife envied driving to the beach sans top. We both had a crush on this vehicle since our early driving days. This 2002 Sahara will be a third "car" for around town open air driving. Regarding performance, this is not a high performance engine. The automatic is very slow out of the gates and the engine is very thirsty. Be prepared to spend money on gas. The front seats are surprisingly comfortable while the second row bench is still best suited for pre-teens. This vehicle is a blast to drive. Cruising in the sunshine listening to Jimmy Buffet is exactly what we envisioned it to be.

Reliable fun and not much to go wrong! - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
By mhitesman - August 19 - 3:06 amOwned just over 3 years. Never even one thing wrong with it. The ride in the backwoods is just as smooth as on the highway (rough!), but then I expected that. Cannot beat driving with the top down on a summer day. Gotta have the V6 -- people I know with the 4 cylinder are very sorry as its underpowered. Not good gas mileage. Not a touring car.

Jeep Wrangler owner - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
By sjmaderia - June 12 - 2:00 amThis is 2nd wrangler that I ahve owned. I never should have sold my old 92 wrangler. This is a great car with could ride and handling characteristics. provided you are not expecting sports car handling or luxury car ride. It is bumpy and loud. You get good mileage if you stay around 72 mph. Faster and gas gauge drops much faster. There is no possibility of using a cellular phone at any speed above 20mph with top down. Top up increases that speed to about 40.

Im a happy camper - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
By toad - March 11 - 10:00 amLove it and intend to keep it for quite a while. It is not a sports car or a luxury car, but it is a real fun car. It suits me just fine as far as comfort goes. This is my second Wrangler.

Bullet Proof - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
By jsav262 - March 7 - 7:36 pmPros: This vehicle is what it is... Its a Jeep. If you love to play in the Sun or Snow, If you love to manouver in & out of a parking garage at the mall or trees in the woods, this is the one. You can do a good job of getting wherever you want with this one right out of the box without all the lift kits & tall tires. & for those people, well this vehicle lets you do that too. Cons: Its NOT the "family Vacation" car. Most families have at least 2 cars now a days anyway, so who cares?! Have Fun.
