  I bought a Lemon - 2005 Jeep Wrangler
  By Surfwind - December 29 - 3:00 pm

  My vehicle only has 3,100 miles. At 1,700 miles the oil pressure dropped. Dealer had to special order a new camshaft sensor drive that attaches to the oil pump. At 3,100 miles the same problem arises. Dealer is having a difficult time diagnosing problem and contacting Chrysler/Jeep. Have no idea of what is causing this problem. Vehicle is 2005 Jeep Wrangler with 4.0 liter engine.

  WOOHOO!!! - 2005 Jeep Wrangler
  By Master Blaster - November 9 - 4:20 pm

  Entered the military, in 1984, and got to drive the last of the iconic M151- A2s. Even with its rollover issues, 25 years later, even after driving HMMWV (Hummers), Ford Broncos, and other 4x4 pickups, I returned to an 05 Wrangler Sport. I am NOT disappointed. I love driving it!!! Yes, the soft top is noisy, and no it doesnt get the best gas mileage, but if youve ever driven a vehicle of this sort, you know to turn the stereo up until you cant hear the road noise anymore! Plenty of pep, with the I6, sporty feel, go anywhere, Im begging my wife, like a kid with a new drivers license, to go and get milk and bread! If you want quiet and style, buy a Honda. "Its a JEEP thing!"

  I Have always wanted a Jeep Wrangler. The fun to drive factor is a 10. What other vehicle can you have covertible and off road vehicle for the summer. Then have fun with everthing winter has to offer. The clubs and events all year long to see all the after market toys for your Jeep offer everything to make it everthing you want it to be.

  Fun to drive and very capable off road. I like the ease of folding the top down and the availability of aftermarket accessories.

  Awesome Jeep - 2005 Jeep Wrangler
  By Keats - July 10 - 5:30 am

  I have never owned a car I love more than my Jeep Rubicon. It is extremely fun to drive. I do get a little tired of strangers coming up to me in parking lots and asking me questions about it...

  Ahhh the JEEP! - 2005 Jeep Wrangler
  By Bob Dog - May 29 - 2:56 am

  At 68,000 miles it has been- Totally reliable, actually getting better mileage than rated for, a pure joy to drive. This is a vehicle that is F-U- N! Wow, very, very pleased. Its exactly as advertised. Rugged, dependable, all road and all weather capable. The on & off road vehicle of choice. PLUS, wow compact size and tight turning radius makes parking/driving in the big much more relaxing.

  jeep review - 2005 Jeep Wrangler
  By Garrett Lynn - May 26 - 12:36 am

  The jeep wrangler is a fun to drive trail capable vehicle. It is enjoyable yet lacks in creativity and is kind of stone age in its fuel injection system along with its less than arrowdinamic look. With a little more work it has the potencial of excellence in many fields yet the biggest step needs to be in millage and not just a bigger tank either. We also need to go back to lock out hubs and the paint job was weak with many thin spots where the under coat sees through. It also needs LIMITED SLIP

  Nothing Like It! - 2005 Jeep Wrangler
  By Jason - May 19 - 8:03 pm

  If you ever thought about getting a Jeep Wrangler, DO IT! You only live once and I can tell you its worth every penny. I bought new in June 2005. Had the top down all summer. Not as hard as I thought to put back up (less than 5 minutes). Top seals up perfect for Autumn. This past winter I drove my girlfriend to work in a blizzard (biggest recorded in NYC). It handled great. I owned a 1984 CJ7 when I was 19. This Jeep is so much more civilized. I have an "X" edition with a Rocky Mountain package. LOVE IT.

  Three words ... FUN, FUN, FUN! - 2005 Jeep Wrangler
  By DougC - May 13 - 3:53 pm

  I had a CJ5 back in the 80s and have always missed that Jeep. Fast forward to 2005 and I have a new Rubicon, 6 months now. The Rubicon is light years ahead of my 76 CJ but still has the same level of fun. I have a smile on my face every time I get behind the wheel. This baby can climb! I live in the desert in Southern California and we are always taking this Rubi on the mountain and desert trails. Trails I wouldnt hike up on foot, no problem for the Rubicon. The top is off 90% of the time here in the desert, its great! Around town we have a blast as the Rubi always gets the looks. I love the rough ride and feeling the road. Cushy cars you drive with one finger are not for me.

  Jeep unlimited - 2005 Jeep Wrangler
  By John - March 29 - 6:13 am

  I have only owned this vehicle for a few days, but have been very pleased with its performance. It is by no means peppy, but seems to tackle California hills with ease. It guzzles gas! But that is to be expected, I knew that when I bought it so I guess that is not a valid complaint.
