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

    Ive always wanted a Jeep since I was young and that dream came true in April of 1999. This has been my daily vehicle respectively for the last 4.5 years and I love it. Not for everyone tho. I have fixed it up with lift kits and larger tires which is the reason for dismal gas mileage but its really worth it because it looks awesome. The noise from the soft top has been eliminated by my upgraded sound system. Very reliable off road and in scorching desert heat and cold snowy winters, amazing what this baby could do.

  • Love it - Hate to see it go. - 1999 Jeep Wrangler
    By -

    Ive had my Jeep for 10 years now and I love it. No major mechanical problems, just the normal wear of driving it over 200,000 miles. Its not for the person who is looking for a quiet, smooth ride - its a Jeep, its built for fun and believe me it is. I have tested it off road only a handful of time over the years and that is where a Jeep is at its best. Saw a couple of Hummers struggling through the same trails that I had no issues with. Great in winter and fun in the summer. The only complaint I have is it is not a family car and since Im expecting a baby in a few months, I need to get something bigger - but I will get a Jeep again!!

  • Beware: fun but unreliable - 1999 Jeep Wrangler
    By -

    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

  • Best of anything Ive driven - 1999 Jeep Wrangler
    By -

    I have owned a number of different vehicles since I started driving. This is my first Wrangler and I love it! I owned a Grand Cherokee before this, and this Wrangler puts it to shame. I have gone places in 2WD with my Wrangler that I would not even dream about going in 4WD with my Grand Cherokee. On top of it all, I love the looks I get going around town, one of the perks of a fire engine red JEEP.

  • Best 8 years of my Life! - 1999 Jeep Wrangler
    By -

    I have enjoyed owning this Jeep so much. The only reason I can see to sell it is I dont recommend putting car seats in it. I loved it in the winter as well as the summer. Its 4 wheel drive, so I never had problems getting where I needed to be. Not even in a blizzard! Its so fun owning a Jeep, especially when you have a hard top, soft top as well as a bikini top. I recommend it to everyone, except if you have an infant to tool around with.

  • truck + convertible = fun - 1999 Jeep Wrangler
    By -

    This is my first Jeep and couldnt be happier. Chysler needs to improve upon its tranny build qulaity, but the ability to drop the top, take off the doors and head to the great outdoors is amazing. The after-market "fix-up" selection is endless and it is just truly a fun one to drive.

  • Getting Better - 1999 Jeep Wrangler
    By -

    This is the tenth Jeep I have owned and they continue to get better each year. I currently have about 45,000 miles on this vehicle, mostly trouble free. We live in Florida but drive it to the mountains of Colorado for a month each summer to run the Jeep trails. This Wrangler is loaded with options but is still a compentent vehicle in the high country.

  • Theres Only One! - 1999 Jeep Wrangler
    By -

    Those looking for a soft ride and performance numbers need not apply. The Jeep is a harsh ride. Its noisy and brash. But its a boatload of fun in the winter and the summer. I would never recommend the 4 cylinder without the manual transmission. It doesnt have enough ponies for an automatic transmission. I get on average about 20 mpg with 100K miles. I do quite a bit of highway traveling, and as long as you aware of the limitations of driving such a short vehicle at 70 mph, youll be fine. Wind is about the only enemy of the Jeep. Strong Illinois winds bounce the Jeep around like a pinball, but you couldnt pay me to trade it in. This Jeep is mine until she dies. Theres Only One!

  • Tub on wheels. - 1999 Jeep Wrangler
    By -

    Unpretentious car that operates very well as a tub on wheels. Short turning radius and relatively high seating are big pluses. I also like the accessibility of the engine compartment and body parts. Highway noise above 55 mph, and poor fuel economy even for a 4 cylinder, are the negatives. Overall, I would buy it again, and am especially intrigued by the new model with an extended wheelbase and storage.

    Overall good experience. This is my fourth Jeep, and the first one that had the six cylinder engine. A drastic improvement in pickup and a more relaxed ride on the highway.
