This Year's Model Updates:

The 1999 Jeep Wrangler's interior finally enters the '90s with rotary HVAC controls, replacing the old slider control system. The hard- or soft top is available in Dark Tan, and new colors decorate both the exterior and the interior.

Pros:
  • Go-anywhere capability.
Cons:
  • Soft top is fun, but still a pain in the butt to operate.

  • Fun, but NOT as a primary car - 1999 Jeep Wrangler
    By -

    I bought my Jeep new four years ago and have had a lot of time to think about it. Its basically a good car; its fun taking the top off, its been reliable, it looks good and girls like it. BUT: its noisy, the ride is punishing, it uses gas like a Winnebego yet its so underpowered you can plant flowers on the side of the road as you steam away from a stop light and it is, for all intents and purposes, a two- seater with very little luggage space. As an auxilliary, around-town car you cant beat it, but its NOT made for driving every day, or for routinely driving trips longer than 25 miles or so.

    I love my Jeep and if I hadnt had so many major repairs at 54,000 miles, I wouldnt be trading it for a Toyota 4Runner. Note: Manifold, Differential, Seat Belt, and Drive Shaft replacement!!! No favors at the dealer with the warranty or the trade value for a new one.

    Purchased 99 Wrangler in 2004. In 06 engine dropped a rod with 127K miles. Replaced engine and it has been nothing but problems since. Its embarrassing how much money Ive spent on maintaining this vehicle. I LOVE driving it but the last few years have been a major disappointment

    I have had my Jeep since 2000 & 130K miles. It is a blast to drive. The 4.0 is bulletproof. I have had to replace several parts, transmission, transfer case, exhaust manifold, rear axle (3 times), & radiator. If you push this thing much off road you will have to replace something. Gas mileage is horrible, w/ 33" tires I am getting about 10 mpg in town. Aerodynamics are not helping gas mileage. Turning radius is tight. Not for long trips. Cant wait to get rid of mine.

    Ive had the vehicle for more than 4 years now and am still having problems with it. I bought it with about 10 miles on it and have had nothing but problems with it. Some problems have occurred several times. 3 times the guages on the dash board have malfunctioned-the same amount of times the defroster linkage has disconnected to cause the defroster not to work-the transfer case was leaking fluid-the drivers seat broke-both exterior mirrors started shedding their paint-a stabalizer linkage arm seal burst in the front end. All of these problems occurred before 36,000 miles.
