Good daily driver, Nice shifting 5 speed, 39.7 MPG highway! The 2200 SFI can take quite a bit of punishment, Its construction is a lot better than 2nd gen J's, it's been very reliable, but, the stock suspension Sucks! Worst ABS system I've ever encountered, and stock seating is not the most comfortable.

Pros — Nearly 40 MPG
Cons — the slowest car I've ever own (also the first car I've owned with an engine less than 5.0L in displacment)

Overall I couldn't ask for a better car. The pick up is like no other yet I've gotten 34 miles to the gallon on the highway and I get 26+ in town. This car has never let me down and would highly recommend it to anyone who asks about it.

Pros — Good strong motor that has plenty of power for this car and gets great gas mileage for the power.
Cons — None really.

My car is really good on gas, and tends to be a little speed demon... I swear its not me. lol The only thing I dont care for is the 4 door but hey can have everything. This car is definetly fun to drive and lots of storage space in the trunk and back seat so thats a plus I guess :)

Pros — good on gas
Cons — 4 door :(

I love the system in my car! It sounds great and the only way to listen to music is with a system!
I like my rims and tint, it makes my car look nice!

The car runs good, braking and handling are good.  it doesnt need any repairs that i know of...and i have a good time driving it!

I hate that my car is slow,
and i hate that it revs when my air condition is on!

But i have to say i do love my car, because it gets me where i need to go and even though its slow, i like cruising in it and listening to music in it.  It is a nice little car to have for now! and im excited because i just finished paying it off! and that feels great! But within the next year i hope on getting a new car!

Pros — The car is great! Sound system rocks!
Cons — nothing really bad..little things here and there

It get's me places, and it looks nice for the most part. Lacking in hp with a dinky 4 cylinder, but it's got 16s that are always clean. Haha, it's fun for the most part.

Pros — Looks nice
Cons — Slow as hell

Its got a small engine, but its got a lot of humph which I love. Also the car is made in the states which is hard to find these days. I'm also very pleased with this car because I've had it for 4 years and I've yet to take it in to the shop. It just doesn't need a lot of work.

Its a good car with good handling and acceleration, but sure as hell is

savin up for a better ride.
I have some non stock items
Body kit
Rims
Wide tires


Pros — Good engine
Good torq
Good brakes
Good handling
Cons — Very basic interior
So-So transmission
