1998 Jeep Wrangler SE review from North America
"Reliable beach machine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air bag warning light kept coming on.
General comments?
Very reliable.
Easy to service yourself.
Deafeningly noisy with soft top on!
Too much wind in cabin with roof off.
Poor fuel economy for small engine.
Underpowered.
Good performance off road, nice gearing.
Good to look at.
Functional, but very uncomfortable.
Good for beach cruising, awful for highways.
