  • Poor mileage - 2006 Jeep Wrangler
    By -

    The Wrangler is in a class all by itself. Its fun to drive, iconic, easy to maneuver and has the perfect blend of technology with simplicity. You will never know how much all that technology is really unnecessary and annoying until you have owned a Wrangler. Nonetheless, my Wrangler gets terrible gas mileage.

  • Jeep Wranger - 2006 Jeep Wrangler

    I have wanted a Jeep since 1978 and after my number 2 son hit my little focus (nice little car, escort was better) for the third time and it was time to get a new vehicle, so I did it, I got my Jeep. I love this vehicle it would not have been practical for me earlier in my life but I am so glad I have it now. I love going to the mountains in and its great on the beach. Its so fun to drive and I love the little Jeep wave. I cant wait to go to camp next summer!

  • Box full of fun - 2006 Jeep Wrangler
    By -

    My TJ is a weekend driver only. The top never goes up because I purchased it for pure pleasure driving. Had to have it when I found they were changing the body style for 07. Mileage is good for a box but size would make you think it should be better. Lifted, tires and a winch makes it turn more heads than a Vette. It would be nice if it had better highway manners but I wouldnt trade it for anything else. A go anywhere vehicle with the reliability in the highest degree. Since there wont be anymore "original" jeeps built this one will be mine forever.

  • JEEP STILL #1 4X4 - 2006 Jeep Wrangler
    By -

    My first car was a 76 CJ5, but I ended up flipping it and blowing the engine. Ten years later, I still drooled at every Jeep, so I finally went out and bought one. I never regret it! Added a 4" lift with 33" tires with a winch and I can go ANYWHERE and EVERYWHERE!

  • The green Jeep - 2006 Jeep Wrangler
    By -

    This is my first Jeep and not my last. I have owned 4x4 trucks in the past, but this Jeep is the best. It is very capable off road and my mom who is 82, really likes to be seen in it too. Mpg is good, in the 20 per gallon range with the 6 cylinder under the hood.

  • 06 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited - 2006 Jeep Wrangler

    Great capability, fun to drive, sunrider top a nice feature when the weather is changing, geared really low (can start in 2nd gear), speaker quality could be improved.

  • A new Jeep w/ 430 miles and a bad motor - 2006 Jeep Wrangler
    By -

    Looks great. Had it for one week and the motor started ticking. Dealership found metal shavings in the oil, so far this is day 3 without my brand new Jeep. Dont know when I will get it back. Rides well, nice interior.

  • Its so much Fun! - 2006 Jeep Wrangler
    By -

    I have had my Jeep Wrangler for about 2 weeks now and it is so much fun! I have the X model with the soft top. I live in California so it is nice to have the top down when its hot. There is lots of room for it being such a small car. I can fit both of my 170 lb. dogs in the back seat. Everyone stops and says how much they like it.

  • The Death Wobble 2 - 2006 Jeep Wrangler
    By -

    At about 20,000 I had the first wobble multiple times to the dealership and was told I made too many left turns and the air pressure was off. New tires tie rods alignment and other parts woble gone. 45,000 same thing new tires. 70000 miles wobble, on new tires parts and we are good again. 97,000 historic wobble on again not as bad as the first one though. Dealership has given us new reasons for the wobble every time from air pressure, to many left turns, tie rods, alignments, rotation, breaks, bad tires, etc always something to blame but the vehicle itself. Appears the passenger side tires wear fast? But its a Jeep thing and I love my Jeep it needs less work then my 1973 or 1971 cj5s.
