2003 Jeep Wrangler SE - 2005 Jeep Wrangler
By Alex Ham - March 22 - 10:56 pmI love my Wrangler. Its fun to drive and it will handle just about anything I want it to. Nothing beats driving with the top down on a clear,warm night. Taking it through mud and sand is just plain fun. Slap on some great All Terrain tires and you have one nice looking vehicle on your hands. Jeep owners are die hard fans of their vehicles. You cant find that with any other vehicle. Wranglers last longer than most vehicles if they are well taken care of. What more could you ask for.

My Jeep - 2005 Jeep Wrangler
By PainterProLee - January 24 - 3:20 pmI needed a multi use vehicle and this has turned out to be perfect. I am able to use it for my construction work during the day and the rest of the time as our second family vehicle. With the choice of different options and color schemes I was able to have a Jeep that is perfect for work and "mature" in color and style for us, the over 35 group.

My 2nd Wrangler - 2005 Jeep Wrangler
By molly - December 16 - 8:06 amI have been a Jeep fan since my first Cherokee in high school. This is my second Wrangler and it is definitely fun. I would however consider another vehicle if it is your main source of transportation! Convenience is not a word to describe these cars. You should also consider safety. Both of mine were broken into and you should never leave the doors locked because that will get your windows slashed! Other than convenience. you should also consider the effort to take the top off when you first buy one. Practice, Practice, Practice. Most of all have fun and remember its the only suv of its kind!

great vehicle - 2005 Jeep Wrangler
By kennedysaura - November 4 - 10:50 amLots of fun around town or off-road, family enjoys local day trips when the weather is just right. Very easy to use 5-speed manual transmission, operation of interior buttons is simple and are a good size (important since the Wrangler is not the smoothest ride). I have just the hard top option, should of gone with the soft top. I was 50 miles away from my home with the top off in the middle of a rain storm. The extra noise from soft top is worth the extra freedom of Michigan weather. I very much enjoy the Wrangler and hope to have it for the next twenty years or so.

Its a Jeep thing, and now I understand - 2005 Jeep Wrangler
By JeepRubi101 - October 10 - 9:43 amI never really "got" the Jeep until I bought one. The gear ratio is low and very easy to shift. You can literally crawl without doing ANYTHING just by having the axle locks on. Its a thing of beauty. If youre just considering a Jeep, I suggest test driving it. Im willing to bet that you too will understand the saying "Its a Jeep thing, you wouldnt understand"

Ultimate 4x4 from the factory! - 2005 Jeep Wrangler
By Kelly S. - October 4 - 8:13 amI purchased it new. So far I have done the usual city driving, taken it on a few highway trips and done some light off-road so far. For its size there is no vehicle that will park as easy as a Wrangler. It turns sharp and visibility is excellent. With the hard top on it is the quietest Wrangler yet on the highway. Some very minor wind noise and some whine from the knobby off-road tires, but still not bad. Off-road it is a killer! Once the axles are locked there is nothing that can stop you. The 4.0L puts out so much torque at idle it is amazing. The solid axles allow the suspension to flex and keep the tires in contact with the ground better than any other factory 4x4 I have seen!

Wannabe - 2005 Jeep Wrangler
By Papermaker - September 7 - 10:53 pmBought my Rubicon Unlimited in April 05. Just had to get bigger tires (LT285) vs. standard LT245s, lift kit (3.5") and a rear tire carrier, and more to come. No issues so far! Fun to drive with the hard top off. Had to buy before the warranty went south in 06 - so I was told.

Great car - 2005 Jeep Wrangler
By Kevin - August 18 - 11:36 pmI love this thing. Will own it til it dies. The only thing I dislike is the gas mileage. But I enjoy the vehicle thoroughly.
