The only thing on this list that bugs me is the batteries but I can live with it. I love my Wrangler.2022 Jeep Wrangler Failed On Every CR Test
What - another BS CR rating for 2022? Blasphemy!
“So, what’s the draw? Why do people keep buying Wranglers? What is so special about Jeep Wranglers?”
Ours leaked, had: corrosion problems, vague steering, drips when you get in, uneven defrost, dissimilar batteries, a bunch of recalls and tsbs, plus spent a bunch of time at the dealer and paint shops. But we still love ours to bits. Hmm?
Must be a Jeep thing.
“The Jeep Wrangler is a strange, perplexing, and marvelous SUV that occupies a badass and unrelenting segment of the automotive world – and we wouldn’t change a thing.”

My wife's 2019 Jeep Cherokee needed a new engine last year with about 24,000 miles on it so I know problems do exist. Glad it was under warranty and it runs great now.It's amusing that we have such low expectations.
Yet here we are high-fiving over 13 months of trouble free driving. Talk about a brand setting the bar low.
Depends on what you want. If you want the most off-road capable vehicle that you can also drive on the road, that's the Wrangler.CR vehicle reviews are a joke. Safe to ignore
Sold Spyder and bought 392. XD.traded Porsche for the Rubicon.
I had a conversation with the head of the Wrangler division about 10 years ago.Funny, I study consumer behavior for a living and "if Jeeps are so bad, why do people keep buying them" is how I start every pitch.
For a practical family like ours, the Wrangler is an awful vehicle on paper. When I was car shopping, of all the cars I looked at, the Wrangler was the least comfortable, the least practical, had the least amount of 'tech', and had the lowest predicted reliability. So, to compensate, I added the $900 tow package –– you know, to make it practical –– and bought it.
Frankly, it's been a pain in the ass, and the second the extended warranty expires it's going away. It sucks in the snow, it's exhausting to drive on the highway, and it struggles off road where my G-Wagen and Pathfinder thrived. If I could go back in time, would I buy it again? Absolutely, without question.
Why? Because the Wrangler is an emotional purchase. The target demo for Wrangler buyers is middle-aged suburban men 40+. They're not buying a car. They're buying possibility. They're buying the feeling of the option of going off road with the top off even though they never will.
People who buy Honda Pilots and Toyota Highlanders are looking for an appliance that gets you from point A to B. That's why those manufacturers sell features rather than mountain vistas. I didn't know half
My favorite things are that it's an ugly square. That you have to wrestle a lever to coax it into 4WD. That it drives like a dump truck. That you sit straight up with your face against the windshield. That you have to give thought to your path across a sand dune. That my wife hates driving it.
For real. The ride is so exaggerated it's not even funny. It makes me wonder how anybody drove any truck or pick up from 20 years ago. 4 doors are clearly larger than the average crossover that dominates the roads. Power is more than enough and the base engines are proportioned just right. It's one of the best vehicles available in terms of visibility- it's very easy to see out of a Wrangler. Not to mention Jeeps are insanely customizable.It's hard for me to even understand parts of these articles and reviews.
- I don't think the Wrangler rides poorly
- I don't think it drives poorly
- I don't think it is small
- I'm not planning on getting plowed in to
- It offers absurd utility for a SUV
- It has more than enough power for what it is
- I'm not overly concerned about wipers, lights, defrosters
- The heat is 100% the best on the market, so I love it in the winter
Makes me think people buy Wranglers as a novelty item then wonder why it doesn't drive like a similarly priced standard old SUV. Clearly I'm not the person they think they are writing to, and I'm ok with that.
OK I'm done
