I do not anticipate much. It does come with a life time limited drive train warranty. Jeep does a good job with this. Had to ask for the floor mats. Acceleration is typical Wrangler, steady and responsive, but not a Corvette.
2008 Wrangler has plenty of power with the v6. Straight six 4.0 in earlier models does have more off the line torque. But each is a good motor overall.
Automatic transmission is solid and responsive. Shifts very smoothly. Dashboard indicates shift position with minimal searching for drive and reverse position. Good spatial qualities.
Interior is easy to clean. I have the black and grey interior. It is that new material that feels durable. A quality lay out for this year.
The emergency brake is solid. The lever has been located on the drivers side in the center console. Very accesible and when engaged it feels sure in your hand.
I've had a 2008 Wrangler X, 2 door soft top for nearly a year. I'm 63 and love to drive it. It has been a fun way to any point of interest desired, reasonable or otherwise. The only minor complaint is that rainwater runs off the top's gutter and drips into the vehicle when getting in or out.
My soft top doesn't leak because I learned the hard way, how to operate it. It took about 3 times to really figure out how it goes together. The instructions suck!
As far as the back seat goes, I took it out to get more room. No little kids, so no need. The front seats no longer tip forward to allow easier access to the back. Cost savings??
Anyway, if you're going to complain about the Wrangler, then you weren't meant to drive one. Like the line says: "It's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand".
Yes we found all that out in the comment posted on the 2007 Sahara.
Can you spare us the "It's a Jeep thing"?
I'm a long time Jeep owner, but the advertising slogan is just annoying.
