Overview & Reviews
Jeep has totally redesigned this American icon. A Quadra-coil suspension improves on- and off-road manners; while dual airbags and optional antilock brakes increase the Wrangler's ability to keep occupants safe. Round, retro-style headlights add a nostalgic touch to this venerable ground-pounder. Fortunately, none of these refinements soften the Wrangler's tough exterior. A restyled interior includes integrated air vents, a glovebox and carlike stereo controls and accessory switches.
- Unmatched off-road capability, overflowing with character, dual airbags, optional ABS, fun to drive, speedy with manual transmission
- Soft top is improved, but still a pain in the $%!@#

My 2nd one - 1997 Jeep Wrangler
By pmcca - April 27 - 10:00 amI am coming up on the end of my lease of my jeep and will probably negotiate a buy. I have had no major mechanical problems at all in 5 years. Its great in the summer and really great in the winter, and here in Ohio, those are huge plusses. Two slight negatives: its a bumpy ride unless you are the driver, and the gas milage isnt great, but those are both offset by the tremendous fun and practicality factors. This is my 2nd Wrangler (1991) and Ill probably get another one. This one was tons better!

My 97 Wrangler - 1997 Jeep Wrangler
By Aaron - April 25 - 2:20 pmI am very pleased with my purchase. It is a well put together machine and it is a ton of fun to drive. The only drawback is the fuel economy, but its still worth it. I use it as my daily driver and on weekends take it off-road for a little fun.

Great Find - 1997 Jeep Wrangler
By algobull - March 21 - 8:29 amI got this wrangler with 68K Mi about 2 years ago. I know have over 90K and it feels like it could go on forever. It was only supposed to be a weekend car, but after I lost my job, its my everyday driver, and I love it. I live in Florida and people always look at me with envy when driving it down the road. I got an automatic because I blew 3 clutches in in 4 years on my previous jeep... I found out later its due to a minor and fixable repair in the master cylinder... I do miss the 5 speed though, better power and much better MPGs. Even young girls love it (not as much as my old mustang, but hey)... and Im glad its slow because fast cars are def not a good idea for me (i.e. 3 clutches)

Best Ride Ever! - 1997 Jeep Wrangler
By Jeff - November 16 - 1:30 amI bought my Jeep Wrangler as a demo in 1998. Ive put 188,000 miles on it and have been more then happy with it since day 1. It goes everywhere, from the tropics to winter blizzards. Ive owned many high end vehicles and get more enjoyment out of this Jeep then any of the others!

Get Ready for Fun. - 1997 Jeep Wrangler
By RAR - March 13 - 10:00 amThis is the most fun I have had in a car/truck. Great power from the 6cyl, millions of aftermarket parts for it, you can do anything to it. Its never left me stranded anywhere. I have had a few stupid things go wrong, nothing too expensive. Dont buy this expecting a cushy ride, your not getting it, its ment for what jeeps are made for, go anywhere, do anything. Love it, May sell it this summer for an audi (jeep not practial in traffic +clutch is real heavy) I have 79,500miles on it now, and it runs and drives like new.
