hi all,
I’m looking to get a new SUV and the wrangler really does catch my eye. I took one for a spin and i did like what I saw. Problem is that I want to know that I won’t be 100% buying into a lemon of a car, there’s a lot of negative comments about the wrangler, i wonder how they stack up to other cars of similar class? Is this a car to avoid like the plague? or is it deserving of some bad press but really all together not that bad??
