2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon review from North America
"Love it!! - so far"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought this Jeep used, and have only had it for 1600 miles, so nothing has gone wrong yet.
One tire is worn a bit crooked, so I don't know yet if it needs an alignment or if the previous owner failed to rotate on schedule.
The front seats are initially comfortable, but lose support and feel a bit narrow on a longer trip.
General comments?
Considering that Jeep claims 15 city and 19 hwy, I'm glad to see that my Jeep gets 21 mpg hwy.
The interior is rugged but hard plastic.
I love the versatility and rough-edged appeal of this Jeep.
I took it out and wheeled it for the first time about a week ago (the previous owner never wheeled it). WOW!! This thing can crawl up a cliff. I've never had anything like it before.
The sound system is excellent with Infinity speakers and the right balance on the sub. Sirius satellite is nice too.
There is a surprising amount of room under the seats -- important since Jeeps tend to be a bit shy of space.
The power is more than adequate on and off road. With 4.10s, though there is a definite drop off in power when around 70mph. Still enough, but just not as punchy as when running at lower speeds. The automatic shifts smoothly and promptly.
Mine is Rescue green, my favorite color in Jeeps along with the new orange and white. There really isn't a bad color, though.
Since I'm the only Rubi owner to post a review, and because I've only had it for 1600 miles, I'll try to keep posting so that you all can keep abreast of my experiences with it. Come rain or shine, it's the coolest stocker off the pavement! Jeep on.
