Soccer moms need not apply - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
By LarryH - August 28 - 10:00 amI have had my jeep for over 2 years now, and I love it. It truly is a legendary vehicle. It is a fun to drive vehicle, and with the top and doors off, its open driving rivaling a motorcycle. Although there are an infinite amount of aftermarket mods available, I encourage any owner to try the stock vehicles off road ability. I have, and it is an amazing off road vehicle.

Porpoise in Jeeps clothing - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
By Dave S. - July 20 - 10:00 amWas originally looking for cheapest, most reliable convertible top vehicle, and like many, I was hooked upon the first test drive. You feel every bump, but its in character, and I love every minute of it. That is, until you have to panic stop on the freeway, or stop at anything over 40 mph or so; this thing goes into a very unsettling continous front-to-rear hop, while diving noticeably to one side. Mileage is nothing short of pathetic, but again, in character (amazing, considering its not carbed!!). For those who definitely appreciate simplicity with a touch of attitude and allure.

Looking for fun? This is it! - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
By backslash - June 1 - 10:00 amWith a smoother suspension and amenities such as air conditioning and cruise control, this Jeep is at home on the streets AND the trails. The 4.0L inline six provides adequate power for most situations. Coupled with the 5-speed, you can expect a smooth power curve and decent acceleration. Inside, youll find a tight but comfortable cockpit. Headroom is certainly not a problem and the steering wheel is in a comfortable position. The exterior is where this Jeep maintains the closest relationship to its elders. Unique styling that has not changed in decades allows functionality and gives personality.

Fun in the sun - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
By Fireman Steve - May 8 - 10:53 pmFor the most part, this is a fun vehicle to own. Keep in mind, however, that for some, a vehicle is a long term investment and you have to think about where you will be at 5 or even 10 years down the road of life. If you dont plan on taking many long trips, needing space for cargo, or many passengers, and if you can afford the gas, go for it. It is exceptionally fun to take the top down, go off road, and also handles great in the snow. If you have a family, take a lot of long trips, or feel the need for a smooth ride going to and from work, you may want to consider something a little bigger. I have had a Jeep Cherokee in the past which has many of the same capabilities as the wrangler.

will always have one - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
By dzeppfan77 - October 2 - 10:00 amThe Wrangler has been everything I expected and more. Its one of the funnest vehicles I have ever driven. It will take you just about anywhere you want to go. Jeep has been around since the 1940s so you know they are doing something right. You have to get a Jeep Wrangler.

So good, So far - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
By Chris92307 - June 27 - 2:00 amThis has been my first new vehicle purchased that did not have a warranty issue within the first 30 days. I have actually had none after 35000 miles. I wish I got the power of the gas the gas used but this thing is supposed to be off road. Even with the stock "tires" I was not scared to take it off road. Now that I put bigger tires on I can better a lot of dirt bikes when it comes to hills. This is the best vehicle I have owned and would reccomend it to anyone who wants to go off road.

Fun car - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
By AJ - December 6 - 7:46 amWith 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

Fun, thy name is Jeep! - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
By Badpork - February 16 - 7:00 pmThis 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!

Just plain fun - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
By robert - January 19 - 7:43 amFirst 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.
