1999 Jeep Wrangler YJ review from North America
"Love my Wrangler, third one and counting!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Every once in a while, the dashboard gauges, (the tach and speedometer) will fall to zero. I slap the dashboard to immediatly correct this issue.
General comments?
This is my third Wrangler and I absolutely love it. I have had very few problems with any of my Wranglers. Clearly the newer models, 97 and up, ride much better than the older ones. This is a comfortable vehicle and the most reliable car I've ever had. I have never been stranded by a Jeep.
Keep in mind, this is not a vehicle to be driven at speeds over 65 miles per hour. Its not a sports car people.
My friends seem to think it it somewhat loud and rides a bit rough. I don't notice that.
I love being able to change the look of my car whenever I feel like it! Sometimes it's a "doors off" day. Other time its "top down". How could you not love that?
I do wish they would make an automatic convertible top though!
Heater like a flame thrower in the winter!
