2008 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited review from North America
"It's a Jeep - and I love it!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had a strange sound at low RPMs on this car (it's a manual). After three trips to prove the sound existed, the dealer finally heard it and believed me. From there, it took four more trips before they finally figured out the problem and had to rebuild the transmission.
Other than that, I'm very happy with the vehicle.
General comments?
I love it - just what I expected.
When buying, I was concerned about the Freedom top. After having the vehicle 11 months, I have had no leaks and a very happy with how the Freedom top quiets road noise.
The only thing I'd do different is that I wouldn't buy the dual top group - and just get the hard top. It takes two minutes to pull the driver/passenger Freedom tops off and store them in the back. Much easier/quieter than dealing with the soft top.
