2001 Jeep Wrangler Sport review from North America
"The best fun and practical car I have ever owned!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Absolutely nothing has gone wrong.
General comments?
I love this car. It is one of the vehicles, which is truly an all-rounder. The term sport utility describes it perfectly. I can take it off-road, for skiing trips and it handles even at 90-100 mph very well and predictable.
The only problem I have is that I had to get the automatic transmission, since I am 6 foot 8 tall and my shines were knocking into the lower console guards. The automatic shifts very well and is great for everyday driving. However, on snow in 2-wheel drive it becomes an animal to deal with. These problems are countered by using the auto 4-wheel drive position. The Jeep becomes then a true and predictable friend, that will guide you through slippery conditions with ease and confidence.
