1998 Jeep Wrangler review from North America
"Great!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Another satisfied customer. I'm a female, and I always wanted a Jeep - since I was about 5. Even the Tyco Jeep would have been great at that point!
Nothing has gone wrong with my Jeep at all. It's my primary car. It is stalling a little when it's cold, but the throttle body just needs to be cleaned and it will be fine.
Wish I had roll-down windows. The zippered windows kinda get in the way when you smoke.
General comments?
I'm live near the outer banks in NC, so 4 wheeling in the sand is great! I haven't taken the Jeep out in the sand yet - I fear I will break it like my Trooper. This has got to be the coolest car ever.
The only problem is long distance driving. Gas mileage isn't that good, but I didn't expect to go 50mpg, either! Took it to Wisconsin (1000 miles) and the only noticeable problems were when large trucks passed by, I thought they might blow me off the road, and though I didn't notice it WHILE I was driving, I noticed how loud AFTER I was through with the drive - although, I think it was more the pressure of having one window opened more than anything.
