So tomorrow will be 7 days since I picked up my Rubicon. I currently have 300 miles and believe I have learned many of the features of the Uconnect radio system.
I live in Maryland and found a vehicle I was interested in the Sunday before last, it was a crystal granite Rubicon loaded with black hard top. Talked to someone about the vehicle and scheduled an appointment to come see the vehicle on Saturday. I arrived at the dealership at 1pm Saturday only to learn the vehicle was sold earlier that morning. Sales lady claimed she called me earlier that morning but checked phone no call or text, needless to say I was not to happy. So after venting to the sales manager I left for a 30 mile drive back home.
Around 6:00 pm later that day I get a phone call from a local dealer salesman I spoke with before and he new what I wanted, so he called telling me he had exactly the Rubicon I wanted. After that morning incident I was losing faith in dealers but only 15-20 minutes away I told him I would come take a look. The Rubicon was what I was looking for loaded except for tow package, not a deal breaker so I bought it.
The vehicle I got rid of was a 2014 Mercedes E 4 matic loaded so I wanted a vehicle that had all the convinces I came to like. I work downtown DC 2 blocks from the capital so not a fun commute. But the Rubicon does a great job on DC streets it just glides over bad patches of road were before it was like dodging pylons in my sedan.
I followed the book on break-in, and after 300 miles I can feel a difference in the motor, it revs smoother and feels a little more frisky than with 12 miles on it, the 8 speed is butter smooth and you do not feel the shifts and seems to be in right gear most of the time. I got 347 miles on the first tank of gas of mostly city driving, but was surprised it only took 18 gallons to fill, it was on E and computer said 19 miles remaining.
overall really liking the Rubicon, just plain fun to drive and actually a nice commuter vehicle.
