1997 Jeep Wrangler Sport review from North America

Replaced oxygen sensor a few months after I bought it.

Alternator went out around 100,000 miles.

Transmission started leaking around 110,000 miles. Started to shift rough.

Unexplained engine stalling at low speeds. Replacing spark plugs and distributor didn't fix the problem.

Catalytic converter rattles.

Hole in exhaust manifold.

Fenders discolored.

Paint cracked and fell off the mirror brackets.

I bought this Jeep after dreaming of owning one for a long time. I drove it for about 2.5 years and had a great time. Driving with the top down and doors off in the summer was a blast.

A few minor things went wrong, as listed above, but I never had to make a major repair. My Jeep was my daily driver, and it never left me stranded anywhere.

If you like to customize your vehicle, then you would love a Jeep. I was really able to personalize the looks of my Jeep for very little cost.

Overall, I had a great time in my Jeep. It was no luxury car, but the lack of comfort was part of the charm. I had to let mine go recently because I wanted something that gets better gas mileage. When I get to the point where I can afford to have a second car, I'll most likely buy another Jeep as a toy.
