1997 Jeep Wrangler SE review from North America
"I simply like this Jeep a lot. Can't wait for the summer to come"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It's a really rugged and fun car. Although I have not have mines long, I have pushed it good and its held up excellent. Nothing has really gone wrong with the Jeep. I just replaced things that needed attention too like the manifold, muffler and muffler pipe, wiper blades, and belts. I added accessories like custom Jeep floor mats, tubular rear bumper, neoprene seat covers, chrome gear shift knob, front bra, GPS, and Sirius satellite radio and tuner.
General comments?
Although the cabin space isn't very wide or luxourous it makes it very easy to reach for items. I like how my jeep sits a little high so that I have full vision of what's in front of me.
The ride is a little rough and the engine is a little under powered, but its still a blast to drive. If I want wide space, luxury and so on, I can get that from my Ford Excursion.
