  My First Jeep - 2005 Jeep Wrangler
  By allencat - August 12 - 8:06 pm

  I just got my first Jeep and I couldnt be any more pleased. In the first few days I took it through flooded roadways and it lives up to the name. Just like a dog with a little training it will go about any where and do almost anything. It is a blast - way better than my Mustang. I will never go back to the sports car.

  Best Jeep Ever - 2005 Jeep Wrangler
  By Rob - August 9 - 12:40 pm

  This is the best it can get till the 2007 Unlimited comes. Drove both normal and Unlimited side by side and the ride difference was unbelievable.

  A reliable, practical workhorse. - 2005 Jeep Wrangler
  By JD Adams - July 25 - 3:46 pm

  Jeep Wranglers fill a unique niche that seems to have no competition: a no-frills, no-nonsense practical, utilitarian workhorse that will easily take you to hell and back without complaint. Turn the key on that noisy, rumbly straight-6, and all becomes clear: this isnt your average foofy, grocery-getter SUV. This truck is strictly business. In the Unlimited, all the amenities are present: cruise, CD stereo, airbags, A/C. However, underneath all that fluff lies one of the toughest trucks ever produced. Jeep Wranglers off road prowess is legendary, and now with the longer Unlimited wheelbase, ride quality and cargo space is very easy to live with.

  None better. - 2005 Jeep Wrangler
  By tyrus - May 25 - 7:13 pm

  The Jeep TJ is possibly the finest American vehicle ever produced. I will be a Jeep owner for life. I live in the city and have absolutely no problem fitting my Jeep into any parking situation. I also spend a great deal of time in the North Georgia mountains, where I would not want to have any other vehicle.

  Happy Jeep Owner - 2005 Jeep Wrangler
  By ColJessepUSMC - May 6 - 11:43 pm

  Bought this Jeep Wrangler X with special Rocky Mountain package right out of showroom. Never been sorry. This is a head turner,all silver w/black accents. Matted to 6speed Mercedes trany,cant beat tourque. Soft top still in great shape after 4 1/2 years.Take the doors off and you never want to get out of it. Took it to Camp Jeep 2006 in stock mode. Over 3000 jeep owners and there families. What a great experience. Drove thru mud,creeks,and trails. I drive this as a daily driver,average 18mpg(mostly hwy). Dont like it??Buy a hybrid! This is for people like me who on a snowy NYC day,dont want to shovel. Engage 4wd and blast out of the parking space! Bury me in this when i die.

  Myboyblue - 2005 Jeep Wrangler
  By MyBoyBlue - April 7 - 11:56 pm

  This has been the most enjoyable car I have ever driven. I can feel the road underneath me and I am the one in control, not my car. Some people complain about the gas mileage and the ride, but they should have researched this before they bought it. Those are the reasons the rest of us Jeepers buy them. Looking in, and envy. Looking out, and understanding. Its a Jeep Thing.

  Garbage - 2005 Jeep Wrangler
  By Steve - December 14 - 10:00 pm

  This vehicle is for the off road consumer. It rides poorly on the road and feels like it jumps around when you take a turn and hit a bump. I purchased it brand new and the dash squeaks (dealership said that is how they are from the factory). You can see the spot welds on the rear quarter panels. (again ok to Jeeps standards). Weld marks on the doors not ground down, just painted over. (again ok with Jeep).

  Val misses the old style - 2005 Jeep Wrangler
  By Val - December 3 - 4:26 pm

  I have a 94 Wrangler and LOVE IT; wont part with it, still runs and looks great 160,000+ miles on it. I recently purchased a 2004 because everyone said the 94 was getting too old. I still drive my 94 everyday. Im finding it hard to get use to the new style. I really miss the old interior spread out simple dash; the old style soft top and its Jeep Thunder sound (much easier to use) ; the square headlights and bounce of the leaf springs. The newer style Jeeps just dont have that rugged look and feel about them. They remind me of that junk box Geo Traker that people use to refer to as a Jeep, except for us faithful Jeep drivers. Go back to the more rugged apprearance inside and out,less yeepie.

  Love Jeeps - 2005 Jeep Wrangler
  By Doc Savage - November 11 - 7:10 pm

  This is my 4th Wrangler (still have the 98). I enjoy the open air fun and offroad ability of the Wrangler. Been a rag top man for years and love the open air.

  as expected - 2005 Jeep Wrangler
  By rayeldon - October 11 - 3:03 pm

  I feel that it has been exactly what was expected. Fun to bop around in. I do not drive it much. Prob. 300 miles per mo. The last two mileage checks showed 12, and 13 mpg. I knew it would be horrible. Did not think it would be quite this poor. My neighbor has a newer V6, and gets much better mileage. Family raised, did not like the looks of the 4 door unlimited. Oh well.
