  Back to basics.... - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
  By davidb72 - February 12 - 12:30 pm

  I have found my Jeep to be a fun vehicle. My other vehicle is a Mazda Miata, so these two complement each other well. The Jeep is a suprisingly comfortable cruiser. One of the qualities I like most about my Jeep is the ease with which you can customize your Jeep. The aftermarket is full of options. All in all I can safely say that I am very pleased with my Jeep and that I would reccomend the Wrangler without hesitation.

  what a joke - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
  By What a joke - January 3 - 10:00 am

  This is the worst vehicle ive ever driven. I have 6 cylinder, wish i had 4 because they put 3.07 gears in mine which makes it suck. I have not used 5th gear yet. cant climb hills in 4th. Gas mileage is about 14 (probably cause i cant use the high gears). Water comes in through floor when i go through puddles or it rains (about an inch, easy). Brakes warped when i got it, warped again at 12000 miles, again at 20,000 miles. Shakes like hell at 60+ mph. They said nothing was wrong. Ive had two CJs, 3 YJs, and this TJ. Worst wrangler I ever bought. Never buy one again, unless its an old CJ or a YJ. Plus it cost me almost twice as much as those ever did.

  Great off road but lacks Fuel economy - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
  By Sanders - November 28 - 1:43 pm

  I bought this Jeep in July of 2007 used it only had 48,000 miles and it now has 62,000. At first I was in love with this vehicle being able to just put back the top on sunny days. But then after a few trips with some Jeep clubs, I realized off roading is not good if it is your daily driver.

  50 - 50 - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
  By Craig Erhard - September 21 - 10:00 am

  Here is the real truth about Jeep Wranglers. Either you love them the second you sit in it and you never want to get out, or you hate it. This vehicle isnt made for everyone, and that is why I love mine so. Dont listen to all the stories about Wranglers flipping. The only reason Wranglers flip is because of irresponsible drivers. This is not a sports car or sedan, so dont drive them that way and you will be fine! Give a wrangler a try, I LOVE MY WRANGLER!

  First Jeep - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
  By chopper - September 12 - 10:00 am

  It is reliable and fun. Think of this 4 wheeler as a Harley with more aftermarket accessories. Drawbacks, small cargo space, plastic dash, and you will have to downshift to 2nd gear to climb even the mildest of hill inclines at highway speeds. I have driven long distances twice (1200 miles and 1600 miles) and it is compariable as a standard cab small pickup. Mine is an 02 Sport but came with half doors, Khaki paint, and low gears not listed for 02. I think Jeep was experimenting with my 02 and a half Sport for the later Rubicon.

  After all, there is only one..... - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
  By jmiron1 - August 23 - 10:00 am

  It seems to me that this vehicle is either loved or hated for the same reasons. So either you get it or you dont. All I can say is the only people I see waving to each other as they pass on the road are Jeep owners and Harley riders. Not bad company in my book. Just own one and youll understand.

  American Classic - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
  By UncleMark - June 1 - 6:20 pm

  Im in Colorado. Guess what, the 3 speed auto on my 2002 Sahara does a better job than I can on our inclined "roads." Im very tall and though the comfort level is far better for me than I thought it would be, its no car. Gas mileage is actually good for hauling around that heavy transfer case all the time. Excellent seat comfort and support. Impressive fit, finish, build quality. Bad: lousy soft-top, but I run around in a safari or bikini and dont use it; hardtop when its on is DELUXE. Outstanding air/heat (no wonder Mercedes uses the same). There are years of off-road features and refinement in the design of this outstanding vehicle. You should buy one before the 4.0L is gone.

  Almost Perfect - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
  By Flinger - May 10 - 10:00 am

  The Wrangler Sport is a great addition to any household. Its fun to drive and very comfortable. It even keeps the old Jeep attitude with its "rough" and "tough" ride.
