I hate this car and will never get another one. In fact, I am going to avoid all Chrysler vehicles as a result of this experience. About the only thing a Jeep is good for is driving around town with the top down on a summer night and looking good. For regular use it is cold, noisy, bumpy, and has had too many things go wrong. It also uses too much gas. It handles nicely if you actually do go off-roading (the four wheel drive is pretty good), but it's not worth getting if you only off road a few times a year. Only get a Jeep if you have a better car in which to do your regular driving and don't mind the extra trips to the auto shop.

Boy, you must sure hate your jeep, being that you kept it for 9 years. Must not have been that bad!

I sort of agree I have a 92 jeep as well and I am not to pleased with it.

I have a 92 Jeep Wrangler Islander, 154000 miles and of course after 10 years of abuse that you must have given it was torn up some...

My 92 Wrangler has served me fine for 14 years. As of 11-07 has 165000 Mls and is still going. It has been off road only 15% of its use. "It's a jeep thing and the commentator never got it"

Probably another who bought a Jeep for the "image" and not because it met his/her transportation needs.

Owning a Jeep Wrangler can be a very positive experience if you buy it for the right reasons and understand that it is not a substitute for a Camry.

If your needs dictate a rugged 4x4 that is great for running errands, easy to park, and fantastic in snow the Wrangler is worth considering.

If, on the other hand, you are looking for a comfortable highway cruiser that gets fantastic mpg's - look elsewhere.

The Jeep Wrangler is a fantastic fun vehicle, but is certainly not the most practical family vehicle.

It is loud, rides rough, can be a handful at highway speeds

(especially on a windy day), and doesn't get the greatest gas mileage. Even so, owning and enjoying a Jeep Wrangler can be a very rewarding experience.

I've owned several Wranglers, and hope to keep my current Wrangler for many years to come. It is an absolute blast to run errands in. It is fantastic in the snow. I drive it daily and couldn't imagine not owning a Wrangler - but I wouldn't want to drive it across country. Trips over an hour or so each way at highway speeds are best left to a vehicle made for comfort and high speed travel. But as a fun run-about that can handle any and all weather conditions - a Wrangler is about as good as you can get.

I believe people need to seriously consider how they intend on using their vehicle before making a decision to purchase.

If you buy a Wrangler or any other vehicle that isn't best for your needs, you'll end up regretting it, and you might even write a rather negative review.

My 92 has 190,000. Only problems I had were, (other than tires, light bulbs, etc) : Rear UV joint, clutch master cylinder, top and radio. All of these I fixed myself. I do the scheduled maintenance, etc. I would not hesitate to drive anywhere with this vehicle. I love my jeep.
