Real Jeep.
Date of Review: May 13, 2004
The Bottom Line: This is the best Jeep yet...still true to its heritage, but much improved in every category....If you don't know why you want a Jeep....You don't want a Jeep.
If the Toyota 4runner, Nissan pathfinder, Ford escape, Honda Passport or similar vehicle is on your list to compare with the Wrangler....don't bother with the Jeep...it's not for you. The Wrangler is first and foremost a Jeep. It was not and is not designed to be a luxury car, however D-C has done an excellent job of making it very capable in the comfort category. Seats have limited adjustments but are very supportive and comfortable. Passenger seat has "tumble" feature for ease of entry to the back seat (DC should put this feature on the Driver's side too). Ride is firm for off-road use, but manners are reasonable on-road as well. Interior is refined and everything works well. Radio/CD is very good for stock and the subwoofer adds needed bass, would like to see the steering wheel radio controls form the Grand Cherokee here also though. The road noise from the soft top is very tolerable. DC has done a good job redesigning the top, but still flaps when driving with a window down. Removing/replacing the top bit of a pain but worth every fingernail when driving open-air.
