| Description |
| Not Recommended. Very capable off road, but who's going to be buying it for that? A gas-guzzler of the first order and a security nightmare. |

| Road Test |
| This is not a car for city dwellers. What you need is a ranch in Montana with mountains, riverbeds and boulders. Add to that your own filling stations (plural) and you're all set. The 4.0 engine will bleed you dry, but does offer quite a punch. A hard top is available but the fun here lies with the roof down - although getting it up and down is a nightmare, particularly if you find yourself in a sudden downpour. The Land Rover Defender might not have the same Marlboro man heft, but you should definitely check it out before committing yourself to a Wrangler purchase. |
| Positive Points |
- All-American classic carries original Jeep genes
- Macho image matched by off-road abilities
- As tough as it looks; expect few problems
|
| Negative Points |
- A classic design maybe, but very dated
- Thirsty with high overall running costs
- Noisy, unrefined; uncomfortable rear seat
