I absolutely LOVE my Jeep! This is the 4th I've owned. The 1st was an 85 CJ. There is nothing like a Jeep. Period. They're absolutely a BLAST to drive, they look amazing, get attention everywhere, and the 4.0 6 cyl is unstoppable. If you're concerned about gas mileage, a Wrangler isn't for you. The fun factor and satisfaction of the Jeep is a worthwhile payoff in my book. I average 13 mpg, but I don't care because I LOVE my Jeep. I can haul my Harley in the trailer on the highway. Not fast, but I can do it! Road noise, loud top, stiff ride. So what! It's a Jeep, what do you expect? It's all part of the experience. Unlimited possibilities to customize it and make it YOUR Jeep.

I love my jeep, don't get me wrong I have spent a lot of money in aftermarket parts, lift, wheels & tires, bumpers, lights, etc. But I love to drive this vehicle

Still going strong 14 years later

Bought this Jeep off the dealer floor with 6 miles on it and it's been a very reliable vehicle. It hasn't been without its problems, but it IS 14 years old. Its required some shop work over the years: PCM went out, all four O2 sensors and plugs with both catalytic converters, replaced rear main seal, and some death wobble issues that have been worked on more than once. All in all, I'm still happy with this vehicle as I've still got it!

After 3 other jeeps, my fourth will be my last of the newer jeeps, I traded up from a 98 to this 05, and cant get over how bad the gas mileage is, i have had all 4 cylinder jeeps and only regretted not having power, now i wish i had the mileage! Alot of Rattles in these, to many plastic pieces and clips,water leaks at body seams, and way to small. Basically if you want something fun, with for wheel drive and endless supply of aftermarket parts buy this! If you want comfort,and gas mileage this is not for you!

Wrangled X

I bought my 2005 wrangled x, since I bought it I replaced the valve cover gasket and oil pan gasket. It was leaking when I bought it. Just something I wanted to fix myself. I love my jeep as my whole family does. It's not made for long trips, I enjoy it on my days off. I feel they are pretty reliable if the owners took good care of them. The acceleration is good for me, it goes plenty fast for me. To me braking is good, I love the manual 6 speed, it doesn't take long to learn to shift smooth. Gas mileage of course is 15 in the city.
