Pros

Off Roading Capabilities are AMAZING && ENDLESS

Cons

If you have or are planning on having a family.. No passenger room!

We Miss Our Rubi — Performance - Acceleration is excellent, just don't stomp on the gas pedel && think she'll suddenly pull 0km - 60km in seconds.. Braking is 'slow' && handling is okay just as long as you don't turn too quickly or sharply.. Buil Quality - AMAZING! Tough as nails this machine is. Appearence - We loved the appearence of this 2005 year of the Rubicon.. && we are dissappointed with the "new" look of the 2010's.. Cost of Ownership - Gas mileage surely blows.. && maintenance, should you ever need it, is exteremly expensive.. To own one you need to have a lot of extra $$ sitting around!! Fun Factor - ALL TIME HIGH! This vehicle overall is fun to drive && we love, love, loved how we could take it anywhere!!

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Cool breeze blowing in my hair.

Cons

Gas mileage. (15 mpg)

Rubicon Jeeps Are The Bomb! — Cool little 4x4 vehicle, goes anywhere, has locker front & Rear axles, you can drive around topless. Turns around on a dime. Gas mileage is not the best (15mpg) but better than my old 4x4 Chevy 2500 HD Crewcab Truck (10mpg). This my 2nd Jeep and this one is better than my first. I absolutely enjoy my Jeep. Very solid four wheeling platform.

Buy It If You Only Want It For Fun. — This is a great vehicle if you are buying it for fun. If you are planning on long trips or daily driving in bad roads I would look at something else. If you plan on taking it off road than this is the vehicle for you.

Exellent 4x4 — The Jeep is an excellent on or off road car. Basically a convertible that can take you back and forth to work or off road to the perfect camping or beach trip. The soft top is easily taken down for relaxing full sun, wind in your face rides. It goes back up quickly if stormy weather approaches.

Red Rocky Mtn Fun — One of the best vehicles to own in the summer. Its a truck and a convertable all in one! Dont drive a bright red jeep and not expect to get noticed. You cant be shy when you drive this vehicle.

This Is A Car That You As An Individual Needs To Personally Drive And Look At. — This Jeep is so much fun to drive. Its small fits in any parking space. I strongly urge anyone looking at buying a Wrangler to get the 6 spd Manuel you will need every bit of that extra gear. I couldn't imagine a 5 spd. I'd have no gas mpg. If its a windy day I get tossed around a bunch. I'm not to thrilled about the top its a pain to take on and off, I recommend watching youtube for putting on and removing the top. The fun things about my Jeep are that I can fit 4 people in it, in 4wd its a champ I love it. To cruise around town on a nice day its a blast. It has the 4.0L so it gets about 14mpg city and 18mpg hwy. Not sure if I'd ever get another one but, I'm definitely glad I can say I've had one because its a fun toy. Awful ride awful mpg but, this is not a normal vehicle.

Bottom Line = 65 Years Of Tradition And Adventure. — Damn good Jeep! The only thing I would have done differently if I was building it was to tuck that sovel up into the frame more. That's the one drawback in stock configuration.So, a nice little body lift and tummy tuck can fix that problem. Go anywhere - do anything. Jeep rocks. Eco Note: 70% of the earth's surface is covered by water. Jeep covers the rest!

Love It — Greatest off road SUV EVER!!! It crawls over people like a beast! I live near the beach and its perfect! We can drive on our beaches and my jeep comes in handy- either for just fun or pulling idiots out! HAHA! If you are serious about jeeps- get a wrangler! There's nothing like it a good jeep!
