  • Just get it. - 2009 Jeep Wrangler

    Like most reviewers I was always a very cautious car owner. I test drove a Wrangler and had one ordered and signed for within the hour. Fun to drive, handles great, just an overall fun toy. I would highly recommend the power package, as well as the upgraded sound system. The bass is amazing! Nothing beats a nice Wrangler, with the top down after a long day at work.

  • Great all around vehicle - 2009 Jeep Wrangler

    We purchased the jeep to tag along with our RV. It has been the perfect choice. My wife loves the way it drives around town, its comfortable on the highway. We have been able to go places that we never could have in a less capable vehicle. We are now able to go on unimproved/unmaintained service roads in MT, and CO to do hiking and photography. The gas mileage is much better than expected. We have never gotten less than 20mpg, over the road I get 24+, and of course my wife gets 26+. She just has a gentler right foot. Its getting to the point now that if I want some "Jeep" time I might have to get one for myself. We are thinking of getting small trailer, and heading up to Alaska in 2010.

  • Always wanted Jeep and now I have one - 2009 Jeep Wrangler
    By -

    I have wanted a Jeep since high school and when I reach 65 I bought a Wrangler X 2 door 4WD. I really love driving the Jeep, my wife drives a lincoln and I have not driven her car since buying my Jeep. In fact she had to go out of town last week and asked if she could drive my Jeep. I get between 20 and 21 MPG driving about 65 MPH. I have the 24S option which has every thing I wanted. I will use it as my tailgate vehicle this fall and look forward to talking about my SOONER red Jeep.

    My dad bought me my first car last month and I love it! I wanted a Liberty instead, but Im so glad he convinced me. We bought it for the purpose of off roading in the desert. It rides so much better than our old Jeep. The hard top is very easy to take off. The design is great. My dad even drives it instead of his Mercedes to work because its so much fun to drive. My mom wants to trade her Tahoe for a four door model!!

    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 -

    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.

  • Best Jeep Wrangler EVER - 2009 Jeep Wrangler

    fun to drive and people look at your jeep as they wish they had one.

  • Love my new Jeep Wrangler - 2009 Jeep Wrangler
    By -

    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 -

    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 -

    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.
