Top 5 Pros of 2007 Jeep Wrangler
Top 5 Cons of 2007 Jeep Wrangler



Guide: 5=Perfect; 3=Good; 1=PoorPros: What do you like about 2007 Jeep Wrangler?
Ability to drive ANYWHERE under any conditions.
Ride height (mine came with the biggest factory tires available, so it sits pretty high off the lot already) - you can see above traffic, as well as good road visibility (long and short); excellent ground clearance.
Incredibly maneuverable - tight spots are no problem, even in a congested city - so easy to park. Off road, it will take you anywhere.
Cargo space is pretty good for its size with the back seat folded up.
Cons: How would you improve 2007 Jeep Wrangler?
Improve braking a bit. Takes a while to stop if traveling at 60 - 65mph.
Gas mileage could use some improvement given its a V6 and not a V8.
Optional leather seats would be nice too - our cloth ones started to wear a bit after 2 years (the mesh overlay started to develop a few small rips), so I had some sheepskin covers custom made for the '07 interior - which really look nice and have proven significantly more durable. Our other cars have leather seats, and they wear nicely over time.
2007 Jeep Wrangler Review:
Excellent all-terrain, all-climate vehicle. Rain, snow, mud, off-road or on, you can go anywhere at any time in this vehicle.
It's a little bigger (the 2-door) than previous models (tad bit longer and wider), which is nice, as there is a fair amount of cargo space when the rear seat is folded up.
We like the "hydraulic lift up" rear window on the hard top for carrying long items - you can drive around with things hanging out the back and the lift up window stays in place.
Ours has a hard top, which we find very convenient during inclimate weather, and is an automatic, which is nice for city driving.
We've gotten a lot of compliments on how it looks too (Sahara package; dark green w/tan hard top and big wheels) - which surprised us given the plethora of Jeeps on the road.
The dealership where we bought it sells all their Jeeps with the largest factory wheels available (including the spare), so we didn't have to run out and get decent wheels for it right off. Consequently, the "stock" ride height in ours really provides for great visibility and excellent ground clearance without any aftermarket add-ons.
Maneuverability is awesome - you can get in/out of tight spots with ease.
We've been very satisfied in the 3 years we've had our Jeep and intend to keep it for a very long time. No mechanical problems at all.

2007 Jeep Wrangler Review:
We have a 2000 Jeep Wrangler that our daughter drives. It has been flawless with the inline 6 and 90,000 miles. We gave it to her after a couple of years because it was too small and not practical.
Enter the new 4 door. I was excited about the Toyota Fj and Toyotas reputation for quality and reliability. But in the process of shopping around I looked into the new Wrangler 4 door unlimited. VERY IMPRESSIVE! The extra room was just right the added features of power windows and locks and much improved stereo was awesome. The engine is quiet and smooth and powerful enough. I have no problem passing and towing a trailer. MPG has averaged 18 in very windy conditions. I have had the black 4 door Wrangler for 2 weeks now and have never had this kind of response from passerbys.
It is a Jeep. Ride is much improved but stil a Jeep. I love the new interior but it is still a Jeep and lacking holders. But that's the point. It's a Jeep. The freedom top is awesome and summer driving is a blast. I had a chance to test drive a 4 door Wrangler during a late WI winter snow and handling was perfect.
My best friend is a gear head and thought I was crazy thinking of the Jeep over the FJ. He had convinced my wife that I might be making a mistake. She in turn convinced me to re think my love affair with the Wrangler. The Saturday I decided to make a final decision I took out the FJ and it convinced me that it was the perfect vehicle even though the top does not come off. I met my buddy at a parking lot and we both drooled and decided that home life would be better with the FJ. I told him I was taking out the Jeep one last time and since he lived by the dealership I would bring it by.
This was classic. In less than 10 seconds after seeing the Wrangler in his drive way he picks up his jaw and exclaims "I've never seen one in person. I can't believe I'm saying this, I was wrong, there is no comparison" Long story short we ended up setting up lawn chairs around the Jeep so we could look at it and he got up grabbed his camera so he could take pictures of it. I called the dealership and said I wasnt bringing it back.
My own gut feelings told me to buy the Wrangler. The research I did from owners said BUY IT. That's important. Listen to owners not experts. It is a new motor and I don't know what to think about reliablity. I bought the extended warranty and now have bumper to bumper coverage for 100,000 miles so I'm not worried. Jeep did an awesome job of bringing the Wrangler up to 2007 yet keeping the Jeep mystique. Bravo!



Guide: 5=Perfect; 3=Good; 1=PoorPros: What do you like about 2007 Jeep Wrangler?
4x4 and fun to drive.
Cons: How would you improve 2007 Jeep Wrangler?
My issue is the large amount of oil used, 1 qt used per 2500 miles. This is what the dealership and jeep told me.
NORMAL OIL CONSUMPTION: Below are industry standards for normal engine oil consumption:
Mileage below 50,000: Normal oil consumption is one quart for each 1,000 miles
driven. Mileage above 50,000: Normal oil consumption is one quart for each 750 miles driven.
So, as long as a jeep with 50000 or more miles on it does not use more than a quart of oil every 750 miles they do not care, and they will not fix it.
I was also told that why new Jeeps take 6 qt's since they use so much oil.
I even have a warranty and they still will not fix it. There are no oil leaks and I have had 2 oil consumption test ran on the vehicle by the dealership. The dealership and Chrysler will not help fix the problem. I was told by the dealership that I am lucky it does not use a quart of oil every 1000 miles, since it may get low enough to burn the engine up in under 2500 miles.
2007 Jeep Wrangler Review:
Great car unless you get one with a bad engine that Chrysler refuses to fix.

2007 Jeep Wrangler Review:
I acquired my Jeep Wrangler (manual transmission) in January of 2007, shortly thereafter it started popping out of 1st gear. At first it was just once or twice a month, it has progressed to a point where it was doing it 4-6 times per day. At first I thought that I was not engaging it properly, but I've subsequently tried to hold it in 1st gear and it forces itself out of gear so hard that it almost broke my wrist. I've noticed that it pops out more upon low to medium acceleration. Last month, I approached an intersection in an attempt to make a right had turn. As I attempted to make the turn from a stopped position, upon moderate acceleration, the transmission popped out of first gear and left me stalled in neutral in front of oncoming traffic. Fortunately, the vehicle behind was able to skid and barely hit my slowed vehicle. At this point my wife stopped driving the vehicle as she felt it was too dangerous. I was now convinced that this condition was very unsafe and returned the vehicle (@49,500 miles) to a Jeep dealership for repair. The dealership updated the 1-2 synchronizer assembly with stronger detent springs pursuant to the Chrysler/Jeep Technical Service Bulletin 21-001-10 that was issued on March 2, 2010. I encourage you to investigate this defect further in order to prevent serious injury or death to additional vehicle owners.

It's fun and almost everyone loves my jeep. I love being able to drive over things not because I need to, but just because I can.
Cons: How would you improve 2007 Jeep Wrangler?
The toughest thing is getting into the backseat. I think a small compartment to hold things in between the front seats would be nice.

It's a blast to drive and gets thumbs up everywhere I go. So far has excellent resale value.
Cons: How would you improve 2007 Jeep Wrangler?
Outside mirrors retain water and need to be redesigned. The soft top is still somewhat a hassle to take off/put on.
