General comments?
Although this car costs a lot to repair, I still loved it as a first. It looked so nice!
The transmissions on these aren't ever too wonderful, neither was mine. It would mis-shift.
The pick up was so excellent! You would never expect this from an SUV, I beat a lot of people off the line.
The ride is real smooth, it still is after 200,000+ miles on it.
The interior wears well, my seats are still in great condition, although I think the dash looks 'plasticy'
The all the time 4 wheel drive is awesome, Jeeps are known for their 4 wheel drive. This was not an exception. Great in bad weather.
The alarm would set itself off for no reason, since this is early stages of alarms, it has kinks. There are relays everywhere. The kinks are everywhere. make sure before buying that you get the computer checked.
Anything you hit on that bumper, will get wrecked, but you wont see damage on the Jeep. But once you get hit above that bumper, you'll see a mark. Dents easily
