Overview & Reviews

For 2009 the Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited receive a handful of upgrades, including hill start assist, trailer sway control and a small storage net under the center stack.

• Superior off-road ability, fun to drive around town, rough-and-tumble image, choice 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, security issues with zippered windows, poor side-impact crash test ratings without side airbags.

  Mixed Feelings on our Bailout Buggy - 2009 Jeep Wrangler
  By JDH - December 28 - 10:00 am

  Got this bailout buggy in 4/09 and have 17,500 miles. The transmission went out at 14,000 miles and its been a downward spiral ever since to the point that we are considering trading this in for something else. Before that, though, we loved the car. While performance is mediocre, nothing beats a topless Jeep in the summer. Keep the tops off, though, as long as possible since they were poorly designed and engineered. The hard top leaks consistently. Fuel economy is lackluster around town at 14 mpg, but shines on the freeway at 20 mpg at 75 mph. No complaints on the interior of the vehicle, so far. The Sahara model specifically has a smooth ride as well. Also, the 4x4 system is beyond great.

  Once a Jeep Owner- Always a Jeep Owner - 2009 Jeep Wrangler
  By tjd - November 23 - 10:53 am

  My first Jeep was a liberty 06. I just recently purchased an 09 2 Door Wrangler. First let me say Im a college student so I dont mind a little bit of ruggedness. I drive up to Phoenix from Tucson (160 mile drive) three times a month and I have to say I dont mind driving on the high way at all. I have a hard top. Ive dricing with no top but I find best is to drive with only the two front panels on. MPG are best at around 65mp: Ive seen around 23, 24 mpg. But I usually do about 80mph so I avg like 18mpg. Around town Ive seen 13 (I know). I havent taken it off roading yet but it is such a fun car to drive and ride around in especially if you live in a nice place like Arizona!

  Jeep Wrangler - 2009 Jeep Wrangler
  By Dacoda - October 4 - 10:00 am

  Had a 1995 Jeep Wrangler Sahara for 13 years. Bought the New 4 door and just love it. Now I find myself looking at the New 2011 Jeep Wrangler 4 door. They changed the inside and some more equipment. It is now your every day drive with comfort and extras and your off road toy. What a great way to get it all in one package.

  18 months later, not one complaint - 2009 Jeep Wrangler
  By greysmoke - August 28 - 3:56 pm

  This is my 3rd Jeep Wrangler. The first was a 95; great fun. Then an 00; even better. The 09 4-door is a Jeep for grownups. The longer wheelbase makes for a much more comfortable ride. Theyve made the new ones much wider, too. Im not completely sold on the 3.8 V6, but so far, so good. Most important points: (1) Its a Jeep. (2) Nothing has gone wrong. Ive not had any work done on this Jeep except for fluid changes. For experienced Jeep owners, this model is much more civilized than what youre used to. For those new to a Jeep, be warned: its still a real Jeep, and that means its not going to suit everybody.

  Gutless - 2009 Jeep Wrangler
  By downtheroad - May 14 - 5:30 pm

  This 4 door unlimited with 4.10 and stock tires cant move itself down mostly flat roads and 20mph winds. The interior is extremely cheap. Tow rated for 3500, I couldnt pleasantly (by any means) tow my 350 lb motorcycle trailer with 1,000 lbs of motorcycle and gear on it. Guess Ill wait for the 2012 pentastar motor and then looked for a used 2 door later - hope they do something for the interior too. Nice to look at. Nice convertible options -- overall - I sold it 3 months after buying it!

  Oh What a Mistake!!! - 2009 Jeep Wrangler
  By marie - April 13 - 11:26 pm

  I was so excited to get my good looking red rock 4dr Jeep! It looks great and I purchased it with all the bells and whistles. (navi, big tires hardtop) two days after having it, I stalled in the middle of an intersection. The alarm works sometimes and other times I have to use the key to open and the alarm goes off until I quickly stick the key in the ignition, water pours on the headrest when I am driving when it rains, I have brought it back 4 times and they cannot stop the leaking.. This is not dripping water but pouring water.

  Love my new Jeep Wrangler - 2009 Jeep Wrangler
  By kentkpa - February 27 - 9:16 am

  Ive always wanted a Jeep Wrangler but never could quite justify not having the ever so practical and boring sedan. Finally took the plunge in 11/2008 and WOW! To think that I could have been having fun in this vehicle years ago! Not only is it fun to drive and will go anywhere, its a real head turner. I still have a sedan for work but when I really want to drive instead of commute - I take my Jeep. Like the title of this review says, "Love my new Jeep"!!!

  SILVER RUBI - 2009 Jeep Wrangler
  By LR - February 16 - 10:10 pm

  I have owned my silver rubicon for about at year. I love this jeep. I wanted one of these for a few years before I actually made the purchase. Im still in love. Of course the rubi has its quirks, there is not alot of room, and is not great on gas, but the pros outweigh the cons. The rubi will go through anything. The rubi looks sharp. It is fun to drive and a total blast to taking the top off. Bottom line is it is a JEEP. It is not a cadillac or a station wagon.

  What a bargain!!! - 2009 Jeep Wrangler
  By What a bargain!!! - February 11 - 4:53 am

  For years I wanted to buy a Wrangler. Every time I went to Hawaii, Id insist we rent one. I finally talked my wife into it. The back seat is much bigger than I remembered. I saved $7500 off sticker and got 0% financing for 4 years. I never thought I would find a deal this sweet. My other car is an 05 Porsche Carrera. Call me crazy, but I have only driven the Porsche once since getting the Jeep. I was planning on giving the Jeep to my son when he turns 16, but well see if that actually happens.
