2008 Jeep Wrangler Sport review from Australia and New Zealand
"For a true off-roader with enough refinement to be a daily driver on-road, there's no better!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing so far, but only had it a week.
General comments?
On-road handling & ride are far better than I expected for a true off-roader, though with the short wheelbase it does pitch a little on bumpy roads.
Performance is better than many people have been saying, considering it's weight and large tires and I haven't even come close to redlining it as I'm still running it in. You just have to work out the optimum shift points, and the six speed gearbox has plenty of ratios to play around with.
Interior is fantastic for a true off-roader. Comfy seats and driving position, and the sat-nav system with the hard drive for storing music and videos is great; had to pay extra as an option though.
