  Fun car - 2006 Jeep Wrangler
  By panamapete - December 10 - 2:03 am

  My first Wrangler. I have driven a lot of cars and trucks, but this vehicle is the most fun to drive of them all. I put my 2008 Infiniti FX in storage.

  Mileage not that bad - 2006 Jeep Wrangler
  By djd2engr - June 24 - 1:06 pm

  My wife bought me the 65th Year Anniversary Edition Jeep for my 50th birthday. Its been great fun to drive. The ride is better than I expected and the sunrider top is super!! We drove from Maine to Florida and were pleasantly surprised at how well it drove on the highway. We also travel to Boston frequently and I average over 21 mpg when the cruise control is set @ 60mph. It is not the most practical vehicle we have ever owned but, it is the most fun. With the back seat folded down we have just enough room for our 2 Golden Retrievers.

  Rubicon Fanatic - 2006 Jeep Wrangler
  By Mike - March 24 - 4:16 pm

  I took the giant leap from a 2000 Toyota Camry to a 2006 Rubicon, and even though the gas mileage is a major difference the Jeep is a much better choice. I always hated the phrase,"Its a Jeep thing, you wouldnt understand." That was until I bought one. I have never had so much fun owning and driving a car as I have this Jeep, if you dont own one you dont understand and if you do own one you cant explain it.

  Its a Jeep thing...you wouldnt understand. - 2006 Jeep Wrangler
  By LandersMJ - December 29 - 9:16 am

  First off, this is the best off-road vehicle out there. I love my Jeep, but I did have some quality issues when I first received it. Paint quality is poor, and had to take it back to dealer to get several spots re-painted. New seats since 2003 are large, awkward, too low, and difficult to see around. I had to buy seat risers to be able to see correctly over the hood (and Im 61"). The transmission is 18 wheeler like, not smooth at all. Aside from all that, this is my third and best Wrangler by far. Lockers and transfer case are great. Jeep needs to up their quality control, but still make a good product overall.

  Love It! - 2006 Jeep Wrangler
  By Marcus - August 20 - 7:26 pm

  Recently traded in my 98 Cherokee for an 06 Wrangler Sport. In short, I LOVE IT! The sense of freedom you get with the top down, and even with just the rear and side windows off. Havent even taken it off-roading yet but look forward to doing so. The ride quality is a little rough but still better than I thought it would be. If youve driven Jeeps, you wont mind it though. The wind noise with a soft top is more tolerable than youd expect. If youre looking for a cheap convertible, a 4WD off- roading machine, and just a fun vehicle to drive, look no further than a Jeep Wrangler.

  Wobbly Tires - 2006 Jeep Wrangler
  By GAPeach - June 16 - 2:00 am

  Ive had my Jeep for 4 months. We have had issue with the tires wobbling so bad that the front end shakes - took it back to dealership first time, the stabilizer was replaced. Started back up again after 1 month. They argued that nothing wrong - not giving up, they looked again and found that the bushing needed replacing. They said this is an issue with Dodge vehicles. Had the map sensor replaced also - only 36,000 miles. Hopefully this is the last of the issues Otherwise - LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT

  By pjb1966 - September 29 - 2:26 pm

  This is the coolest vehicle and lots of fun! I wish It had come with a few other options like a console and steps and "cruise-control" other than that I love it!! its a nice quiet smooth ride the only downside is the "gas" mileage is not so good!! other than that you"ll be VERY HAPPY!

  "old brown shoes" - 2006 Jeep Wrangler
  By rkcohen - July 21 - 2:00 am

  Zero problems with this 63,000 miles Jeep. Routinely get 21-22 mpg back and forth to work, same on the highway - a little touchy at highway speeds, but great to drive to the beach, top-down!

  Its a Jeep Thing - 2006 Jeep Wrangler
  By Doug - March 29 - 8:13 am

  This is my first new Jeep. I owned 2 used ones previously. I love it. We needed a new vehicle and I held out for the Jeep. Very happy I did. I like its build quality and simplicity. Just got around to installing the soft top and am wondering why I waited so long! Much better than the older ones, at least to me. Sunridre feature is cool. I am 51 and this is my "toy". My wife and I plan to get out into the Jersey Pine Barrens (once my daughter gets her license and we have the time.) Just wish I had the manual transmission, but the auto is ok.
