What are the pros and cons about buying a Jeep Wrangler?

Sometime in the near future, I plan on buying a jeep wrangler. What are some pros and cons?

  • Anything over 17mpg is good gas mileage for me.. they do get at least that, right? I plan on getting one that is anywhere from a 1990 to a 2000.

  • Answer:

    Pros: - Easy "do it yourself" maintenance; plenty of room to fit your hands in places and avoid bloody knuckles. Parts are generally cheap. - Good approach angles if you want to experiment with off roading - Lots of cool do it yourself add-ons - Low technology.... wears more but is predictable and easy to fix. Cons: - Squaro-dynamic profile. 17mpg is about right for a new wrangler, going downhill. I'd say 15-16mpg is in the "zone". Same mileage on highway as in town because of poor aerodynamics. - Stiff ride - Flappy roof if you have a softtop - People constantly cutting your windows open (3 times now on my 2004, and I dont live in a bad neighborhood) - Not good for road trips over 500 miles; the noise will eventually make you crazy. (consider pirelli scorpions if you drive mostly on-road) - windshield cracking (its flat and is a magnet for truck pebbles) I'd recommend the 6cylinder; I have the four and there's only a 1mpg milage difference.

I have a 2005 Jeep wrangler and mine gets 18 per gallon. I love mine, have had very little to complain about. The only thing I would watch is that some Wranglers, get a shimmy in the front end called a "Death Wobble". It usually happens around 45-50 miles an hour and you have to put the brakes on and come to a complete stop and then go again.
