  I came back to the Jeep - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
  By Jeep Life is Good - November 7 - 5:53 pm

  In 2004 I bought an 2002 Wrangler Sport. I loved it, but in Jan 06 sold it for a 2003 Land Rover Discovery w/ 20K miles. In over a year the Land Rover blew an engine and tried to kill me when the brakes failed. The 15 other annoying trips for service were only minor issues. Now its 2007 and I am back in another 02 Wrangler Sport. Same color, miles and option as the old one. Its simple, fun and always works. Any problems can be fixed by me and internet Wrangler forums can show you how. It goes anywhere, looks classic and is cheap to purchase. Winter or Summer always bring a smile to my face in the Wrangler. Dump your heap and buy a Jeep.

  My Wrangler is so much Fun! - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
  By coons10 - June 28 - 10:00 am

  Ive had this car for a few weeks now and I am having a blast! It took about 3 or 4 days to get used to taking the soft top on and off, but Im getting much better at it and it takes considerably less time now. It rides better than you would expect. its no luxury sedan or anything, but its not a kidney buster either.

  second sahara - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
  By wth51 - May 22 - 2:00 am

  We had a 99 Sahara and loved it but the gas mileage was lousy so we traded for a 2001 Honda CRV. Honda was ok but not as fun as the Wrangler so we traded the CRV for an Accord and bought a 02 Sahara. The Honda works and the Jeep plays. Should have kept the 99 but we saw the error of our ways and purchased another Wrangler. Expensive mistake.

  My Red Jeep - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
  By elvjeep - May 17 - 10:00 am

  To me, It,s important to have a vehicle that will preform in all types of weather...My jeep does this. To have a body style thats old fashion but not old, practicle with strong features.I can hardly identify all the new cars on the road today...but you know a jeep when you see one. I will buy another unless they radically change.[I,m 62 yrs old and I love my jeep]

  I love my Jeep - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
  By Dannigirl - April 24 - 10:00 am

  Shorter 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 haven’t 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 am

  Put 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 am

  I 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 pm

  If 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?

  Im a happy camper - 2002 Jeep Wrangler
  By toad - March 11 - 10:00 am

  Love 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.

  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!
