Family Suv — This is a smaller SUV which fits my family perfectly. I'm 6'-3" and fit in no problem with lots of head room and leg room. Great on gas and all the bells and whistles. All in all a good little family vehicle.

A Well Put Together Smaller Jeep With Room And Economy For The Ocassional Driver. — Suprising 2.4L passes trucks on highway with zip. Build quality is good. Like nimble looks and driving agility. Wanted a economy-minded vehicle to replace my 15 yr. old pickup. It's fun to drive with room for stuff and everything I need. My little Jeep does it all well.

Pros

Our chrome option with the special rims and burnt orange paint turned out surprisingly nice (all standard). And the stereo is amazing

Cons

Almost everything

No. Awful As A Jeep. A Typical American Car — Horrible Tow car. Never ever tow anything. Or don't even load it with stuff. 4 people, a bike rack with 2 bikes, and 2 kayaks and a full trunk, all within weight capacity makes this car ride incredibly low in the back, the front doesn't have any traction cause the stupid jeep was front wheel drive, oh and the transmission overheated on highway driving at 70mph. There is no space on the interior and its traction is awful because the standard tires are unsafe in winter conditions, not bad, but straight up unsafe. Gas mileage was generally under 20mpg. But the stereo was amazing, we tested it and you could hear it 1/2 a mile away

Small Car, Good On Gas — quick, small, 32 mpg, good for a small family, just doesn't hold a lot of cargo with the family.Need a larger car for the twins and trips between Florida and Texas. All in all a good car for the price. Low cost, low maintenance, good acceleration, braking and handling.

None — Performance- great accelaration and braking! Build Quality- no need in repairs. Appearance- nice interior, but not the best exterior styling. Ownership- gas mileage is better than most Jeeps and over crossovers with 28 miles to a gallon on the highway. Fun Factor- Amazing, love to roll down the windows and turn the volume on the radio on 40(100%)

What A Pleasant Surprise It Has Been After 6 Trouble Free Months Of Ownership — Was not my first choice to replace my '07 Caliber. I loved the powertrain on the Caliber and wanted something similar, so I went ahead and opted for this Jeep because of all of the equipment it had. Fun and comfortable to drive, love my sound & sun packages, and it holds a lot. Mileage is okay...wish it were a little better, but sure beats other SUVs.

Jeep Jeep — This car gets good gas mileage (mid 20's) and has decent acceleration from the VVT transmission. It has decent space inside. The only bad thing about it is that the DVD and CD player has needed to be replaced several times due to software issues.

You really like to drive sportcars

A Very Enjoyable Vehicule — Very good overall package, improved building quality from Chrysler, average off-road performance, a good AWD system with 4WD lock botton, availiability of manual tranny, beautufull retro and conservative style, low fuel consumption (like a compact car) with low highway autonomy (small fuel tank)
