Jeep Wrangler review

Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

In their own words

This is not a car you buy if you want high spec goodies, great handling and performance, this is a car bought with the heart not head. It sounds and drives like a tractor, it's sluggisg unless you boot it, the interia spec isn't high although I do have the Overland which has the leather heated seats and satnav which makes it feel a little nicer(fitted my own revering camera). This car is about the way it makes you feel, I love cruising around in it and just enjoying the view at a slower pace. It puts a smile on my face especially in summer with the roof and doors off (bewarned the passengers all moan about been blown around and in the UK the sun isn't often enough). The roof does weigh a lot and so you need at least 2 strong adults to remove it, I've made my own winch in the garage so I can remove it myself. It does have leaking issues on the front doors but run an extra seal around on the frame does solve this. I've taken it off roading with the stock tyres and suspension and it handled with ease erverything thrown at it. It has so many after market parts that you soon get drawn into making mods as most are fairly easy to fit yourself, if you want to have money in the bank then this is not the car. It's a life style you're buying into not just a car, but as I said if you want performance, loads of goodies and handling this is not your car.
