1997 Jeep Wrangler Sport review from North America
"I love it. Already wanting to buy an '07!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Needed a new thermostat and raditor leak fixed at 62,000 miles.
General comments?
Some may say that I have no basis to evaluate a Jeep considering I have only driven mine for a few months. I think that the main point to buying a Wrangler is to check on the history of the car. Jeeps are not made for long highway trips, but rather off-roading and being driven hard. Be sure to buy with confidence that your Jeep has not been butchered or "driven hard and put up wet" as they say.
Remember to maintain your Jeep well and it will run forever.
