Practicality

The Wrangler can be purchased for a reasonable price. Insurance on the Wrangler should also be affordable. Both are very good things because buyers will nedd the extra money for fuel. The 4.0-litre engine tends to be thirsty.

Jeep Wrangler front seat passengers have more than adequate space. Rear passengers have more limited head and legroom and some passengers may become uncomfortable during longer trips. The Wrangler is very practical for off-roading. The interior can be hosed down and there are convenient drainage holes/plugs in the floor.

The Jeep Wrangler controls and dials in the Wrangler’s cabin are large and easy to use. They are straightforward and located where you would expect to find them. Displays are large and easy to read however, the cabin’s features do have an outdated but rugged feel to them.

The Jeep cabin is as comfortable as would be expected. Engine and road noise are loud inside the cabin, but the car’s seats are firm and relatively comfortable. The addition of air conditioning is a very welcome and nice touch.

Access to the Jeep Wrangler cabin can be tricky. Passengers must step up into the cabin. Front seat passengers enjoy a wide door aperture and fron access is much easier. Rear passengers must fold down the front seats in order to gain access.

Parking the Wrangler can also be tricky. Visibility is good due to the high seating position of the driver. The car’s steering makes getting in and out of smaller spaces a challenge.

Life Style

The high driving position of the Jeep Wrangler is terrific while navigating through traffic. The 4.0-litre engine provides good torque, and plenty of noise. The six-speed gearbox is slow shifting but decent. The biggest issue is the steering, which lacks feel and requires plenty of input. Off-road the Wrangler handles superbly with impressive climbing ability and grip.

The Wrangler easily seats four and could be used as a family vehicle for a small family. The Wrangler could perform family duties well, and the removable rear roof section allows top down motoring. However, with the rear seats occupied boot space is limited, and reduces storage space significantly. The Wrangler is not a comfortable or luxurious family car, but it could functionally transport a small family.

The Wrangler could be used as a first car but probably wouldn’t be the best choice available. The car’s steering makes it difficult to park, and the car’s engine uses a lot of fuel making it expensive to drive. There are better choices for a novice driver.

The Jeep Wrangler is a well-built vehicle. The materials used inside the cabin feel cheap and could have certainly been improved with little effort. The Wrangler upholds the company’s image for being tough and durable with outstanding off-road capabilities, but if you plan on stayiong on the road the Wrangler may not be the best choice for you.
