Getting passed by CRVs :(

Shawnslady: As others have mentioned, getting used to driving a Wrangler is worth it. My JL will be here Friday, currently I'm driving a 430hp V8 JKU, and people pass me ALL the time! I drive safely, one or two over the speed limit when safe to do so, and I still get passed like I'm standing still. Many folks are just in a hurry - not a judgement, just an observation. Just don't let 'em get to you. Smile because you drive a capable Wrangler.

My JL is very fast. I have a "lead foot" and pretty much drive it like I stole it. The new transmission really help too,

If you had a 2.0 turbo would be a different story..



p.s CRVs make for a nice backdrop in rear view mirrors..

Ditto. The Wrangler 2.0 is the WRX of Jeeps. I’ve had both.

I've had my 2016 Rubicon for 2 weeks now and am still adjusting to the ride. I was used to driving my WRX and rarely was passed by anyone on back roads of Vermont. Now I'm passed daily by almost everyone. This is killing me ! I have BFG mud terrain tires on, think all terrains will definitely help me bobble less on horrific frost heaves? Thanks !

I get passed all the time, fine with me, I am enjoying my ride, not passed because not enough power, but I bought a JL not a sports car.

Sorry, I'm a Taco kind of girl, used to drive Toyotas....

I sold my 17 TRD OF to get back into a Wrangler and I'm glad I did. I really missed the constant encouragement to admire your surroundings that comes with owning a Wrangler. My Taco was also a 6 sp and was growing tired of commuting with it.

While I will occasionally launch like a rocket from an intersection in my turbo JL, Jeeps aren't really made for speed. You can still go fast. Surprisingly fast. But it will be more terrifying than exhilarating.

That first time I misjudged a sharp turn and had to de-accelerate from 70 to 30 was exhilarating in a poop your pants kind of way.

Sorry to be late, but do have to add, I get the initial reaction OP, but just remember those CRV's wouldn't be able to go where the Jeep can

My new favorite quote

I've told my office mates that my commute has shortened by 15 minutes each way in the month I've had my new Wrangler. Instead of having to drive around all of the other idiots in the DMV, I drive OVER them. It's exhilarating to look in your rear view mirror and see steaming piles of rubble in your wake. It's not about speed at all. It's about coming out on top!

I just cruise along, tunes going. No roof, no doors, no worries... wondering why everyone is in such an angry rush.

It's a different mindset entirely. You'll embrace it, or you'll get another WRX I guess.

My record says I can't afford to speed anyway, so I'm ready to embrace the Jeep life
