2009 Jeep Wrangler X

Pros

Rugged

Cons

Too much thin plastic

This is my 6th Wrangler since 1992 and I would have to say that a Wrangler is a Wrangler is a Wrangler. If you are considering this vehicle then doo yourself a favor and get the sirius and NAV. I know that you are saying that you don't need it and will never use it but I said that to. I went for a basic X and came away with a slighlt upgraded X with the 17 inch wheel package but not much more. After installing an aftermarket Sirius system (correctly) I wish I would have had the integraded system. Now I am considering a NAV system and am wishing I would have added it to the Jeep at the time of the order. One major pro was the fuel economy. No seriously for real. I took my Jeep to military training from Ohio to Virginia and was getting 25MPG on the highway. I normally get 21 in the city. My secret is conservative driving and the 6 speed manual transmission. Also, I use Mobile 1 full synthetic. I just purchased a K&N FIPK and will probably squeeze more Horse Power as well as a few more MPG's out of the Jeep. I know that I got an extra 5-8 MPG's out of my GMC 2500HD with one. If you are saying tha this guy spends too much on his Jeep then do the math on the fuel savings and you wil see that I actually come out ahead. One last thing...if you are up in the air as to basic equipment then think 2 door, full hard door, duel top, manual transmission with 17 inch tires and remember they give military incentives over sale prices and rebates.
