1997 Jeep Wrangler SE review from North America
"A good price bargain"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only problem I had was an axle leak at 35000 miles, but was fixed under warranty.
The driver seat started to wear badly at 80000 miles, which is reasonable.
The major thing that I was bothered about was the fading of the fender flares. I tried the polish thing still won't do it, so had to replace them
cost=$420.
General comments?
The car is good if you do not go on long trips. It is so much fun with the top down, because with the soft top it is kind of noisy.
It is definitely not a fast car, but can handle good off road.
