Picture Gallery: 2008 Jeep Wrangler Day 1:
Click Image to Enlarge
|
Up for review this week is the 2008 Jeep Wrangler Sahara two door 4x4 -- now, that is a mouthful. This will be one tough vehicle for me to review -- I know nothing about Jeeps, and admitting that is half the battle. I know a little about the Jeep brand and I can review a Grand Cherokee (and have) because it is similar to other SUVs on the road, but a Wrangler is an entirely different animal. More...

I like the way the imbedded ad makes the post essentially unreadable. |

Yeah, me too. All the other ones are fine, though.  EDIT: Oops, I lied. All the other ones are screwed up too. Don't know if it's new, or if maybe I just noticed now. I'm viewing at 1024 x 768. |

Looks OK to me, although I'm running at 1920 x 1200.
Here is a pic:

I think they mean the annoying embedded ads that show up randomly in the middle of posts on the forum. I hate those stupid floating ads as well - you know, the ones that you can't find the close button for? Arrgh  |

No, I mean that both the ad and the picture squeeze the text into a tiny column on the far left side.
The text looks like this:

If the words are longer (like the last two), then the last letters get cut off by the picture. |

C'mon wing, at least get the Jeep a little bit dirty. Surely there are some 'unassumed roads' or road allowances just outside Ottawa that will allow you to at least engage the 'go-go stick' (4WD lever)?  |

I took one of these out back in March and was sufficiently impressed with it. I was expecting horrid wind noise, rattles, air-leaks, rough ride and was pleasantly surprised how road-friendly it was. The 6-speed manual was actually pretty fun to drive. What drove me away was the insane 8% lease rate and the fact the salesguy said there was zero flex in the price since they were so popular.
Does your tester have the 'Freedom top'?

Construction site ? Gravel pit ? Farm road ? Local off-road club ?
Still, Wing might have a point...99% of these things never leave town. |

I've always wanted a Wrangler but they just don't seem overly functional as a daily driver even though I'm single.
