2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara: The world's worst daily driver?

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

I was given a chance to play around in the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited for this test drive. Should I evaluate it on the same criteria as my other reviews? Jump in as I give my personal, UNSCRIPTED review. We'll look at real cargo space, interior ergonomics, fuel economy and take it in the dirt to test the powertrain.

    Just competed a road trip 1,200 Miles on my JK Sahara. I drove 50mph, 75mph and 85mph and it felt good. No sluggish feelings. There were high winds with some rain but my JK was solid. I saw many road cars, suv's fly past me while i kept 21mpg to 24mpg. The Jeep is a cool vehicle with capabilities flair and safety that the suv sleds and car (go carts) don't have. I removed the freedom tops for 200 miles while i listened to the sound of the air and getting 24mpg at 60mph and that is worth more than getting 30mpg inside a bubble of metal and plastic. The Jeep also has confidence with its stance of height and safety because you are not sitting so low that an accident will cause most cars to become crushed or squashed at the life essential areas of the vehicle like roof and legs. . Most Jeepers will call my JK a non jeep compared to CJ or some jeepers will call my Sahara a prius of the Jeep family compared to the Rubicon or Sport but its my daily driver and I wouldn't trade it for anything. The Sahara is a trim level of what could be compared to car and I've added 800lbs of bumpers, winch, rock sliders and lights. Bottom line is doors don't ding my doors in parking lots they ding their door edges on my bumpers and rock sliders. I get great mileage and i can see over the cars in traffic while jamming out to the radio or the wind with the freedom tops removed. If you want a cookie cutter road sled or suv aka wagon with 2 wheel drive then buy a kia a honda or a chevy but if you want options, confidence and feeling of awesome capability on and off road then buy a jeep. Sport ,Rubicon and Sahara are all great so enjoy the feeling and know you will never have the same love for any vehicle ever again. I'm not a car lover i'm a jeep lover and its a choice to have options of roads on and off top on or off muddy, snowy rainy or sunny my jeep accepts all and achieves it with coolness and confidence!

    Not discounting the vehicle, it's a sweet off-roader! However, the Jeep safety ratings are sub-par compared to comparable off-roaders... Marginal score (second lowest) from IIHS SIDE crash test (which PASSENGER CARS have been passing since 2006) and granted, it scores high in the moderate overlap from crash, it scores another marginal in the small overlap front, another test which some vehicles have been passing since 2003 (Volvo XC90). So I would not advocate safety... Give me standard side airbags for front and rear seats, and improve front crash ratings and I'll buy one in a heartbeat, but until then I'd rather stick with a Subaru Forester.

    The jeep experience (owning a wrangler) is really like skydiving.. it doesn't seem like the greatest idea in the world when you look at it from a distance and have never experienced it yet.. but you just have to take that first leap of faith, and once you do, you'll only want more and more. its hard to really explain to people who haven't taken that leap themselves. 200,000 miles later in my YJ, and it still hasn't gotten boring. The old girl is on her last leg but still just as fun as the day i bought it. A JK will be in my future.

So I have driven 2 vans and a few years ago bought a Dodge Durango, which we still have and love. But, with our kids getting older and 2 having their own cars I started talking about a jeep again. We talked about getting one in summer. We went and test drove one before Christmas, and I loved it! The day after Christmas my husband surprised me with my jeep. It definitely drives different than our Durango. But its a jeep!! I think I have driven the Durango once since owning the jeep. I can't wait for summer to take the top off and taking some road trips in it with my husband!!

    omg yes! The only problem I had with them in the past was not enough horsepower but now with a 3.6 Pentastar, that is not an issue. Easily merges with and keeps up with traffic highway traffic flow. One thing I discovered this winter was you don't even have to put the hard top back on in the fall. I live in Northern Canada and found that my two door was always warm within about 5 to 7 minutes, especially with heated seats. The only remaining issue with the two door is lack of space-not much room to pack stuff if you have passengers in the rear seat. A long distance haul would require you to install a luggage rack on the roof. Other than that, Jeep is awesome!

Bring it home, wash it off, its roomy and comfortable for a night out. The next day, fold down a back seat or two, toss in surfboards or other gear, take the top down, grab a friend or two, and you are off to the beach. Are there better cars for quiet or comfort or speed? Sure. Any other vehicle that does all that I mentioned? Nope. None. Keep your hard top SUVS... I'll stick with my JK Sahara Unlimited.

    About mpg, the one caveat I will give is that new cars need to break which usually improves mileage, but not enough to raise the fuel economy figure from my observed 14.9mpg to your 20mpg. Do you have the manual? Perhaps the 6 speed and smart driving can make a big difference over the 5-speed and average driving. Also, I drive these for about a week, so certainly take the number with a grain of salt, but I would suspect its relatively close to what others get. thanks for watching. -Greg

    I was given an all day test drive on a new Wrangler. I was offered $2000 more than the Kelly Blue Book value for my 2001 Wrangler. I decided to go ahead and take the all day test drive. I bought it back in 45 minutes and told them to give me back my 2001 Jeep died in 2006. After seeing what the new Wrangler had to offer, I started upgrading my old Jeep Wrangler because it looks like what Jeep/Fiat is offering is junk compared to my 2001. I just installed a 4.5 inch SkyJacker suspension lift, stainless bumpers and side steps, new Supertop soft top, axle gearing at 4.11 to 1, new seats, extra headlights and off road lights, 33x12.5 R15 BF Goodrich All Terrains tires, rear disk brake conversion, and a nice 10 meter ham radio. It is way cheaper than a new car payment and I have a much better Jeep. For the record, the 4.0 liter in line six is nearly indestructible. There is no way the new V6 could be better. It is kind of sad that I bough my last Jeep at the age of 33, but there is nothing I want from Jeep past the 2006 year.

    I would own nothing but a Jeep! I have had one since 1989. Upgraded a year ago from 2006 wrangler to a 2015 Tank green unlimited 6 speed . The Jeep just keeps getting better and better. They also hold their value better than 90% of the vehicles out there. Thanks for the vid!

    Fair assessment Greg. The only people who have a use for a Jeep are people who take them off road. I live in Australia where we get the 2.8 Common Rail Diesel version of the Wrangler. Much better fuel consumption and much better than a petrol for the frequent creek crossings that you can get here in Tasmania. There are lots of annoying things about the Wrangler, but at the end of the day it comes down to this. You've got coil springs (not leaf) over solid axles (not independent front suspension). That is THE tried and true recipe for off-road articulation. With the demise of the Land Rover Defender, along with Nissan and Toyota's retreat to IFS for better on-road performance, that leaves you with the Jeep or the Mercedes G-wagon for the pure coil + solid axle set up. The G-wagon is over $100,000 worth of automobile. So -- at least for us non-millionaires -- when it comes to priority for off-road over on-road, the Wrangler is the last man standing. It's made for a purpose and you have to want it for the right reasons.

    I don't have a fleet of cars. I need one car that does it all: 4-season commuter, city run-about, family station wagon, light duty truck, interstate touring wagon, and off road, camping and exploration vehicle. The Wrangler Unlimited does all that in a package 4 inches shorter than my previous truck: a Ford Ranger standard cab short-bed. I bought a 2012 Wrangler Unlimited Sport in late 2011, priced in the mid-twenties. This vehicle is an incredible value, often compared to vehicles costing many times more. Still, given such versatility and value, the Wrangler's FUN factor rules all. It's a playful toy truck that makes makes others seem like appliances in comparison. For those immune to fun, there are plenty of refined, expensive (and boring) alternatives.

I get 17.5 to 18 mpg. it has a K&N cold air intake. your review is a bit off. i have pushed 3.5 feet of water/mud and scaled trails galore that felt near vertical. every single scratch and dent on my "Mall Crawler" i put there myself. i love my daily driver 2013 Jeep Sahara. i have beat the s**t out of it and fixed it and it Continues to be my true love affair on wheels.

    Don't judge the book by its cover on your title. I was ready to blast this review, being the owner of two 2012's (3.6s, one two door, one four, one manual, one auto-respectively). And, yes, they aren't the best daily drivers, but I was glad to hear you review WHY people love their Jeeps. We take ours off road. We USE our Jeeps. And I'm glad to hear it from someone that gets that it is not a vehicle you get without the compromises. But it's worth it. Thank you!

    I have a 2010 Jeep Wrangler Sport (2Dr). The 2013 with its 3.6L engine is better in fuel economy (not by much though) then 3.8L in the 2007-2011 editions. My sport has very firm shocks and I drive around 43 miles a day in Louisiana so I feel every bump on our bumpy roads. That being said, while I complain about my MPG (I am at 19mpg now doing good driving, not going above 60, breaking easy, and coasting some times as I have a manual), I would not give up my jeep as it is a jeep :). I'd have a secondary vehicle though.. like a Fiat or something lol

    in part, the throttle tip in is quite slow (perhaps for off-road control?) but that definitely makes it feel like you really have to put your foot in it to get it moving.

    I have an 08 Sahara 4d unlimited loaded and I absolutely love my jeep. It does everything I need it to do from every day driver to pulling my camper and kayaks to the occasional snow storm. I had no problem finding any of the controls window switches are in the middle because common sense would dictate that because the doors do come off you wouldn't want to have to worry about unplugging wires to remove them. there are very few blind spots with all the windows and with the top off pretty much no blind spots at all. as far as fuel economy it's a 4x4 truck that will pull it's own weight at 4,000lbs not only that jeep owners aren't looking to race it. I have no problems passing or getting up and moving. It's easy to park and around town just as well on back country roads and highways. IT'S A JEEP carries a lot of weight if you're a true Jeep lover.
