A Cool Classic…

Something's change and

at the same time never

change.

The Jeep Wrangler is

one of those…its familiar,

its a classic, while being

modern.

The Blue Top…

We usually, if not always

expect a Jeep to have a

black top.

The color matched blue

top, makes it look bigger,

with a more dramatic

street presence.

The Look…

Serious bumper, tow

hooks, space to

accommodate a winch.

Traditional grille…

Cool headlamps too…

Well Finished Interior

For a Jeep the interior is

well finished, with a touch

of metal to uphold the

tradition.

Navigation

Yes…navigation, satellite

radio, heated seats, air

bags.

All the modern amenities

one expects.

Comfortable

The seats are

accommodating and

comfortable even on

extended trips.

Good Leg Room

Appreciable leg room for

adults.

Notice the metal on the

doors.

Yes…the seat backs fold

down.

Cargo Area

Easy to open door, even

with the spare. The

glass portion is even

easier just lift up.

283 HP

Good performance from

the new 3.6L V6.

Smooth shifting 5 speed

automatic transmission.

Yes its has transfer case

with a 4 to 1 Low range.

Underside

Ruggedly traditional, with

a frame, solid axles, coil

springs, skid plates.

Would you expect

anything less from Jeep?

The Drive

It’s a truck, its cool, it will

go off road, it has serious

off road tires.

Fun on surface streets,

pretty good cruising

highways.

Good level of power,

steering is somewhat

light. Brakes are

acceptable.

Solid on broken

pavement.
