 |
Narrow foot well does not have room for a dead pedal
Door handles are button style not pull lever like nearly every other vehicle on the road
|
 |
Diesel engine option has been dropped
Fuel economy could be better
|
 |
Design is fully modern yet unmistakably a Jeep
Wrangler tires are good on pavement and on trails
Brakes are excellent

3.7-L V6 short-changed by four-speed autobox
Manual gearbox brings out engine coarseness

More room and improved comfort
