Overview & Reviews

After setting a new trail with a complete redesign last year, the Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited travel into 2008 with only minor equipment changes. These include a standard Sunrider soft top on Wrangler Sahara and Rubicon models, optional remote ignition and a new Sahara appearance package for both two- and four-door versions.

• Superior off-road ability, surprisingly fun to drive around town, rough-and-tumble image, availability of two- and four-door versions, upscale navigation system.

• Noisy with standard soft top, finicky soft top operation, mediocre acceleration and on-road handling, no power mirrors, too many hard plastic contact points.

  Top Down Doors off - 2008 Jeep Wrangler
  By topdowndoorsoff - February 11 - 10:10 am

  This is our first jeep ever owned! We love it! It was a toss up between a Jeep and a VW Beetle Convertible. No comparison here. My wife feels very safe driving jeep, especially in the snow. Love the Rescue Green Color. Be prepared for people to ask,what is it? Duh... A 4-door Wrangler! Looks like a Hummer. Cant wait till summer and take to the beach!!!

  Great choice!! Love it. - 2008 Jeep Wrangler
  By Brad - February 7 - 2:53 pm

  I traded in an 01 Chevy Tahoe LT for this and have been extremely pleased with everything thus far. I really thought I would be getting a F-150 crew but once I saw this up close, I couldnt get my mind off of the Rubicon. The only real thing I would change would be a slightly more highway friendly engine for jumping on freeways in Houston. Other than that, it has been a pleasure to drive and a really fun car for the wife and kids. I havent yet had a chance to get it off road but will put it to the test plenty once deer season begins. I went with the Steel Metallic Blue and have been really surprised that I have seen very few in that clr. I see a ton of the rescue grn and blk. Get one!

  No Longer Admiring From Afar - 2008 Jeep Wrangler
  By slobberdog68 - December 5 - 3:30 am

  I have wanted this since it came out. I got it Saturday 2008 Sahara in Black- 18K miles on it! I love it. When I go over any bump-big or small something on the drivers side door or backdoor area rattles-almost like the door is not shut all the way. I have checked everything and cannot find anything loose. My husband says its a Jeep-what do you expect? I test drove the 2010 Islander before I bought this last week and there wasnt a rattle to be found. If its just a Jeep thing then find but I want to take it in while its still under bumper/bumper. Otherwise I love it!

  A real SUV! - 2008 Jeep Wrangler
  By Andre Neves - October 31 - 11:16 pm

  Sold my 06 Evolution IX MR for this. Was never an SUV type of guy but this thing is a blast. Gas mileage isnt anything to rave about but it is expected from a car like this. Ride is comfortable, great seats, acceleration is acceptable. Could use about 50 HP more for highway acceleration though. Off road capability is untouchable by anything out there other than a REAL hummer (H1). Havent tried folding the soft top yet but looking forward to it. Al ot of nice features/options like remote start, SIRIUS, Infiniti system, Hitch, etc. Interior is a great place to be in, seats are firm yet comfortable for long rides. Handles great even with BFG tires. I would highly recommend this to anyone

  New Toy - 2008 Jeep Wrangler
  By JC - October 1 - 11:46 pm

  Just purchased Unlimited X, could not be more happy! Dont believe all the cons you hear/read about. No its not like driving a sports car and it shouldnt be. Pick up is more than adequate(unless you need to drive on the autobahn) I have never driven a more "fun" vehicle. Go with the freedom top not the soft. Its a 4 door, 4 wheel drive go anywhere convertible. I cant say enough. I drove a GMC Envoy for the past 6 years, dont have the bells and whistles I had with the Envoy but I dont need them. MPG at this point has been close to 17 both in town and highway. Straight out high way I got almost 21, its only a day old! Dont believe all the negatives you read, test drive one for yourself

  Driving is Fun Again! - 2008 Jeep Wrangler
  By Cheadlem - June 16 - 6:53 am

  Ive only had the Jeep about a month but I am extremely pleased with this purchase. Ive had numerous compliments on the color (Red Oyster) and the style (Sahara 2D) and have taken the top off and on multiple times as the rain dictates. It is easy and comfortable to drive in the city and on the highway. The sound system is fantastic and it gets better than expected mileage (~16 city/21 Hwy). It is extremely maneuverable and I can park it right beside my 03 Suburban in my garage and open both doors. I wouldnt have gone for the satellite radio or navigation system but they came with it and now I wouldnt want to do without them. Im a Jeep man now.

  Jeep J-J-Jeep - 2008 Jeep Wrangler
  By ScottR - May 14 - 12:36 am

  As soon as Jeep came out with the Unlimited (4-door) Wranglers, I knew I wanted one. I only have 2000 miles on it so far and cant really comment on reliability (been great so far!). Otherwise I love it! Design gets all 10s from me -- from the outside in, its a Jeep! And the drivetrain seems to be as solid as they claim. Love the freedom tops. Sound system is much better than older Wranglers. Road noise with the hard top is not bad, which surprised me. Handles well on highway at 80+ MPH, which is also surprising (though it wanders a bit). Im a big guy, and interior is very comfortable for me. Fuel economy? I gave it a 10 because it meets my expectations. Its a Jeep, not a Toyota.

  Love love love my Jeep! - 2008 Jeep Wrangler
  By Beth 0505 - February 27 - 10:00 am

  I absolutely LOVE my Jeep - have wanted one ever since I turned 16, and now at 34 finally got it! The 4 door was the selling point for me as I have 2 kids to transport all over town. My Jeep is really fun to drive, the kids love it, and I can put all their sports equipment and groceries in the back! Then take a drive and take off the top - have the freedom hardtop, the front portion literally takes me 3 min to take off and stow in trunk (Ive timed it)!

  better than the sahara - 2008 Jeep Wrangler
  By Orlando - October 11 - 11:43 am

  I have had my X model for less than six months and so far it is great. the top comes down and goes up in less than three minutes. i made a few improvements, changed the tires to M/Ts (old ones were slippery in the heavy rain). added a brush guard, side rails, rear bumper and seat covers. all for less than $3500.00. i spent a total of 21500.00 with all the upgrades and it looks far better than a stock sahara that cost 25k or more. would recommend the x over sahara or rubicon( make your own improvements and save money)

  Beyond pleased! - 2008 Jeep Wrangler
  By Rickxjeeps - September 19 - 8:23 pm

  Weve had 13 Jeeps between the two of us in our lifetime. From a 77 Cherokee to the most current model year, an 02 Grand Cherokee Limited. Retiring a 93 Wrangler that was my daily driver for the last 13 years for this model and we both are extremely pleased! The ride is impecably smooth even for a Wrangler but so much more car like. It is so quiet you forget your in a Hardtop, unlike the 93 Wrangler with the hardtop. People had trouble hearing me on the cell phone. Unlike the 4.0 in the 93 which could be heard easily, you cant hear the 3.8 motor and you forget you have it running. Factory remote start rocks! Opt for it, its worth it! Its 10.5 inches bigger than an 08 Liberty!
