just what I wanted

it gets me into the woods & exploring on roads where the family vehicle shouldn’t go. It has a manual transmission which makes it fun to drive

Pros

  • Reliability: I can get far off of regularly maintained roads

Cons

  • Seat Comfort: my wife says the passenger seat gets uncomfortable on long drives
- Arnold Parks, 2017 Jeep Wrangler

car has lots of problems

I knew going in that jeep wranglers are problems and I have experienced nothing but problems since I got it and have yet to get a full fix on it from CarMax repair pals workers

Pros

  • Seat Comfort: I guess this is the only thing good about the jeep

Cons

  • Cost to Maintain: I’ve spent thousands already trying to fix it. whether that’s on parts and labor that a repair pal has told me or not I just wanted answers
  • Reliability: was overheating like crazy and that was months ago

great car

I love the car. It fits my personality to a T.

Pros

  • Value: I got the car at a great value, plus it’s so beautiful that I’ve already had three offers on it, not that I’m interested in selling
  • Styling: It’s really fun to drive.
  • Weather Versatility: It’s high enough off the ground to allow me traverse most Houston roads when flooding and handles really well.

Cons

  • Braking: I had to have the brakes redone within the first three months of ownership and now my clutch is having issues. However, I got the extended warranty for that reason. This ain’t my first rodeo. I had some other mechanical issues that started within 10 mins of driving it off the lot. but Carmax fixed them at no cost to me. They even had to send it to the dealership for repairs and didn’t charge me a penny.
  • Technology and Entertainment: The car didn’t come with Bluetooth technology even though the advertisement said it did.
  • Styling: There were some obvious scratches and dings that looked like the were covered with whiteout. First time I washed the car I could see them.
