2012 Jeep Wrangler Review
By KBB.com EditorsIf you enjoy outdoor activities, the 2012 Jeep Wrangler is your round-trip ticket to the trailhead, ski slope or beach. And if you enjoy the Jeep-specific pursuit of boulder hopping, this newest itera
The 2012 Jeep Wrangler is engineered to deliver credible off-road SUV capability. To that end, its on-road demeanor is necessarily compromised. Both its separate frame and live axles (front and rear)
The best part about the 2012 Jeep Wrangler is that it remains – in the end – a Jeep, with the aforementioned separate body-and-frame construction, live axles front and rear, and enough ground clearance to drive over a (large) sleeping dog without doing damage to dog or drivetrain. With that menu of perceived negatives for on-road performance, Jeep engineers have done a remarkable job of taming the beast within, endowing this newest Wrangler SUV with steering that actually steers, and a suspension that remains in regular contact with

"I've owned this Jeep sinc Feb 2011. So far, for the most part, I really enjoy it! There are two detractors ... the chrome-painted plastic ring around the top of the shifter knob (the bezel) broke off about 6 months ago and the dealer has yet to replace it. My Jeep was one that was affected by a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) about the manual transmission popping out of 4th gear. The dealership is STILL waiting on parts five months after taking the vehicle in. Other than that, it's really a good vehicle. It hasn't left me stranded anywhere, I can fit in it (I'm 6' 4", 300+ pounds), even climbing into the back seat, though that takes some careful maneuvering, and it handles pretty well. This is a VAST improvement over the 1992 YJ I had in 1993-94. I would recommend the hard top; it's much quieter than the soft top. The ride, for a short wheelbase 4x4, is pretty smooth. It handles pretty well for a 4x4, too. With the new 285 BHP V6, it has respectable acceleration. I manage to average about 18+ MPG with combined highway and city street driving, but if I drive aggressively, that number can dip below 17. If you're looking for a vehicle that's fun to drive both on road and off, doesn't take up a lot of space, and has LOTS of aftermarket modification options, then I'd say this vehicle would be a good choice."
