This is the second Jeep Wrangler that I have owned. The main theme for this review is practical ruggedness. What I mean by that is the new Jeep Wranglers, particularly the Trail Rated series, are rugged enough to make the owner feel comfortable and safe driving in various road conditions, without A: breaking the bank (when compared to vehicles such as Land Rovers or Range Rovers) and B: without sacrificing in gas mileage. The previous Jeep Wrangler that I owned was a 1998 model. While the older model was safe, the gas mileage was terrible. With the recent model, gas mileage is great, I don't feel as if I have to take out a loan to afford fuel. One negative that I have heard and was dreading to experience was the fact that the seals on the removable top may leak after heavy rainfall. So far, I have not experienced this myself. I have had no leaks after heavy rainfall nor multiple trips through the car wash. I definitely recommend this vehicle to anyone interested in SUVs and any vehicle that brings safety to the table. Also, if it is luxury that you prefer, you may opt for upgraded packages such as the Sarah or Rubicon editions. These have features such as power windows and doors just to name a few.

I like the overall utilitarian look of the Jeep Wrangler. It comes in many trims, but I choose to purchase the lowest package and then add my special touches. The aftermarket options for the Wrangler are vast and many to choose from. This is my fourth Jeep Wrangler and I have been very happy with the residual value these carry. I am often able to sell these outright and make enough money to put down a huge down payment on the next one.
