1994 Jeep Wrangler SE review from North America
"I am hooked on wranglers"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Since I have owned my jeep only two things have gone bad. The bulb for the 4wd low light blew after owning it for a year and I had the transmission rebuilt 5 thousand miles ago. Other than that my jeep is a tank.
General comments?
I will have to say the steering on my 94 is absolutely remarkable. The first time I took it for a test drive I took a turn and almost ran into a tree because of it's great turning ratio. The 2.5litre (without a supercharger) is sluggish when you start piling people in the back with a hard top on, but if you invest in a supercharger for it you will have unbelievable power gains. I recently had 9 people in my wrangler and was cruising at 90 mph at 3 grand with more power on hand. If you invest in some 31 sized tires you can take sharp turns that sports cars can take. Those new 97 plus jeeps don't have the stability like the pre 97 because the pre 97 are 2 inches wider, which doesn't sound like a lot, but it's a big difference if you add 1 inch on each tire to the ground. I've done a lot of work on my jeep and I wouldn't take it too the dealer to check on it because most of the time they hire teenagers who don't know what they are doing with a vehicle and the problem doesn't get fixed. I absolutely love my jeep I bought it for 9,000 and I can re-sell it right now for 7,600.
