View Full Version : Jeep Wranglers
How many of you guys out there have had any experiance with these things?
It's one of those next rides Jana and I are thinking about getting. It would be my daily driver.
Any personal comments or reviews are welcome.

You'll actually watch the gas gauge drop on the highway! They have trouble going over 80mph and they like to roll over alittle too much. They are fun, but it's just a miata that can't corner...
Yeah, for a daily driver they aren't too great. I had a buddy that I used to commute with that had one. The thing was squirrelly as hell in the snow (too short) and was always cold inside because of all the drafts and lack of insulation. It was a blast in the summer though! I wouldn't have one as a daily, but as a toy it would be very cool.

yup, cold in the winter, not so great in the snow (for daily driving), and sucky gas milage. Go for it!
On the v6 verson the gas milage can't be all that bad. lol
Crappy in the snow can be fixed with proper tires and driving.
Cold in the winter? Well this one does bite, maybe keep the 1.8 for winter duties. But then what will I drop the v8 into? ;) lol j/k
Well, it doesn't have a V6! It is an I6 and it is a great motor.
The wheel base is sooo short that tires won't fix it.

I'm assuming that the 6 cylinder is the same thing that is in the Cherokee's. My Dad's '99 Cherokee has had zero issues with it after 12X,XXX miles of which at least 50,000 are hard gravel driving.
ya ya, inline 6. lol My bad. HOw about tires on the back, skis on the front? Will that fix it? ;)
So i guess towing with these are a no go as well? LIke a short trailor for Jet SKis?
I'm not worried about mileage as much when I saw the one up here which was like 2 or 3 years old with 400k on it. lol
