1991 Jeep Wrangler Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...The power steering is quick and easy. The power disc/drum brakes are decent, though not overly powerful. Anti-lock brakes are not offered on the Wrangler. FIT, FINISH, CONTROLS If the Wrangler has a weak point, this is it. The convertible top is maddeningly confusing to raise and lower. I've owned nearly a dozen convertibles and tested just about every softtop on the market. The Wrangler's convertible top - an intricate web of snaps, zippers and plastic fasteners - could tax the patience of a saint. Let's just say the top is best lowered on a day when there is no rain in the forecast and that... |

2012 Jeep Wrangler OverviewSource: CarGurus...locking differentials, a Rock-Trac transfer case with the sway-bar disconnect, extra-low gearing and knobby BF Goodrich tires (available on Rubicon versions only).Safety features remain a sore spot for the 2012 Jeep Wrangler. Never a darling of the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the Wrangler is rated as only Good for frontal impact crashes, Moderate for rear-impact crashes and Poor for side-impact crashes. In fact side-impact airbags are an option only for Wrangler Unlimited trims and are not available for 2-door Wranglers. Other safety features are present, however, including... |

2012 Jeep Wrangler Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...the Wrangler has the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 under its clamshell hood. This engine, the driving force behind Chrysler Group's revival, is smaller, more powerful and all around better than the outgoing 3.8-liter V-6 formally in the Wrangler. It produces 83 more horsepower (285 horsepower total), 23 pound-feet more torque (260 pound-feet total) and better fuel economy. The new Wrangler can get 17 mpg city and 21 mpg highway. More mileage Naturally, when you're going to put an engine into a Jeep, it will require modifications. Jeep engineers improved the intake, giving the Jeep more power, and... |

2011 Jeep Wrangler Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...Scale a mountain and it's likely to be a little worse. But where the Unlimited lives, mileage is not the most important feature. There is a reason there are three skid plates on this Jeep rocks can do all kinds of damage to the transfer case, gas tank and transmission oil pan. The Rubicon model I tested, which includes a two-speed transfer case and front and rear axle lockers, electronic sway bar disconnect and 32-inch off-road tires, should only be bought by someone who intends to ride on a lot of roads less traveled. The front lockers turn this vehicle into a bulldozer, ready to climb... |

Why should I also consider these?
The Hummer H3, which was discontinued a couple of years ago, might have been visually a rival, but it never attracted the legions of serious off-roaders in the way the Wrangler does.
Currently there are two main rivals: The Nissan Xterra has a rigged look, and serious off-road versions to tough enough for boulder-scrambling, but ultimately it's not as entirely dedicated to the task as the Wrangler.
There's also the Toyota FJ Cruiser; it's the Wrangler's closest rival for pure style; it gets its retro design from the 1960s FJ, yet has modern components from the Toyota 4Runner that are a bit more road-friendly than those of the Wrangler.
The 4Runner itself is more of a conventional SUV, but it hasn't given up its tough truck side in recent years and when properly equipped it could make a softer alternative to the Wrangler Unlimited.
