2001 Jeep Wrangler Sport review from North America
"A blast to drive with top and doors off"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing has gone wrong. Recall on ignition switch (if it gets wet from the top being off, it could have had problems). Mine was fine, even after being doused in rain a few times, but replaced it anyhow.
General comments?
After reading reviews on other cars having MULTIPLE problems, my Jeep has been running flawlessly. Granted it may not be as sophisticated as some, but it still has electronic warning devices... beeps when you leave your headlights on, parking brake on, etc. Honestly, I've never had a single issue with it, not even a "Check engine light." It's a fun ride. Not one I'd want to drive across the country, road noise is a bit high, even in the hard top/steel doors. After six years of ownership, I still look forward to driving it. It's a keeper, my 8 yr. old son will be driving it when he is old enough.
After owning an '83 CJ7, the '02 Wrangler is just as capable if not more so offroad than the previous CJ versions, and has many more creature comforts and design improvements. Power steering, brakes, tilt, cruise, A/C, cd player, rear wiper/defroster, and a bullet proof perfectly matched inline 6 cylinder fuel injected engine.
