I just picked up a Wrangler Sahara today and I agree with you that fellow Jeep owners are incredibly friendly. Been waved at 5 times today. Love this ride!
Have they? The base MSRP of a 1998 (built 1997-1998) I6 4x4 Wrangler 2dr Sport was $17,630. When adjusted for inflation, that's ~$27,000 with today's prices. The current model, the 2018 Wrangler 2dr Sport, has an MSRP of $26,995, and it is a far superior vehicle by nearly every objective measure and with most every other measure.
I just bought my second 2018 Grand Cherokee but these 2018 wranglers raise the bar, and I never would have wanted one. Now thanks to your review I understand more of the appeal. Thank you.
Finally a review on a two door and not a Sahara. My first jeep wrangler was a 2012 sport door door. I loved that vehicle and it was my only vehicle for me and my wife and we actually learned and loved to live with it. Had to sell due to my second child since it was though with my first one due to car seats and stroller, but now my youngest is almost a year and in 3 years she'll be 4, so it's a two door again. Two door are the classic, the iconic model. 2 doors are cheaper like for 4 grand, looks better. V6 is the way to go and hopefully they will offer the diesel on the two door and not just the 4 door like they planned. My next one will be a Rubicon two door basic, soft top, no leather, none of those safety features, screw those extra stuff. Very nice review.
David Zavala I know Wranglers has had leaky roof problems, how was your experience? Yes about the Two doors, the four doors is a financial move to entice cross shoppers of traditional SUV.
I like the pointouts, agreeable except for the soft-top looks really ugly scrunched back but their are so many options and why not splurge for the leather...really in the end...so many options but very great insight you have, preferences aside
Honestly, Ive now watched this three times (seriously considering getting the new JL model to replace my JK) and you're reviews are engaging and comprehensive. Bravo.....and thank you for this. You helped me decide to get hard top...and yet Im still vacillating between 2 or 4 door...but will be a Rubi.
16:00 According to the owner's manual, page 52, there are two retention straps located on the back of the rear seat, each should be fastened to the corresponding wire loop located on the back of each B pillar. This will hold the rear seat in the folded up position.
Jason Morris Some people say that about the Wrangler too, but after this update with the Jeep, you'd think Toyota would do something with it. Had a 2002 and it was great for us.
guy proulx The 4 Runner is not built in Japan. Also saying it's a better daily driver than any Jeep is a personal opinion of yours. One I don't agree with.
Awesome, I'm actually glad to see a more base model wrangler review. I miss my TJ dearly, and would love another Jeep. Thank you for the review! I wouldn't be shopping for a 50k Rubicon or anything crazy, so thank you.
Awesome review man!! I was waiting all week since you replied to me about making this video haha! I cant wait to see the other trims of the new JL. Overall BIG fan of this channel! Thank you!!
Its a great channel, but I can save you 30 mins. 1) Overpriced. 2) Still the same basic suspension that sucks on the highway. 3) Nearly as unaerodynamic as the JK (was .50 now .46, literally a barn door). 4) While virtually every truck manufacturer has started using aluminum and other tricks to reduce weight, the JL in some trims is as much as 4.3K lbs which is stupid heavy for its size . tl;dr: If you aren't spending most of your time at low speeds and offroad and have more money than sense, a Wrangler shouldn't be a first choice. And for fire roads and the like a Jeep Renegade Trailhawk, Alltrack, Crosstrek, and several other options make so much more sense.
Wow. When you let off from the stop at around 22:35 or so, I was surprised how fast it picked up speed and shifted. Damn. I drove an older 2013 Wrangler and it was slow. Nice progress FCA.
this was a good review, especially since you said you dont have a lot of experience with wranglers.. i am an enthusiast and have been a wrangler owner for almost 5 years and i liked this review more than some of the off road channels haha good job!
I always wanted one especially now with the heavy refinement and more powerful fuel efficient motor. Availability of the 2 door 4-cylinder made me go with the CX-5. I'll have to wait a few year until I get a JL.
Gees, people are so critical and are such experts. You'd think half the people here have owned the thing, and the other half are in the market. In reality, these sell well, and the people who own them are loyal. Doesn't matter what your friend's dad's brother's gardener's hairdresser said about the reliability of their in-law's Wrangler.
Also, apparently there are straps on the new 2 door rear seat that allow you to keep it in place when it's folded up. Its on the back of the seats and attaches to the sides.
CJ wrangler is thw Best for me! Vintage, good aura, strong, brave view and powerful. Yeah.. when you ride or drive the CJ wrangler you will say yeaaaah!!! Im the Man then light up your Stick of Marlboro. Yeaaah!
Keynesian Economics Actually, price does matter. Your average joe can't afford an $80k Toyota Land Cruiser, and if a vehicle can't turn a profit, then what's the point?
Compared to my old Carolina Blue 1999 4 cylinder 5 speed TJ with a one inch lift, wheels and tires this new JL is a Cadillac Moon Buggy!! 285 horsepower? DAYMUN!! Compared to my old 1999 Spartan interior that new JL is a Cadillac! The JL is still too heavy in my opinion but it has lost weight compared to the JK. The Jeep Wrangler's have always had the BEST most commanding seating position I have ever experienced.
My JL pros -possibly the engine(s) -8 speed transmission -quicker throttle response -soft top without ‘cross bar’ -soft top no zippers -quieter soft top -body color roll bar -flat horizontal dash -lighter/aerodynamic tweaks = better MPG -real metal interior detail -real hardware (not faux bolts) interior -larger cup holders -air vents for cooling under hood -more slant in windshield (think rock damage) -doors stay opened -cabin is slightly longer -doors remove easier/faster -telescopic adjusting steering wheel -bigger storage tub -stronger and lighter tailgate My JL cons -push button start -auto start/stop -the bumpers (front and back) -front running lights on fender flare -too much digital visual “noise” on dash -rear camera -no hard drive in radio to store music
is a very beautiful car I like its square shape reminds me of a military vehicle I buy jeep since 1998 I am very pleased I do not change Jeep Wrangler with anything
Just got the 2018 4 door unlimited sport. You can come test drive mine 😂. It’s great. Little more vibration than expected with the whole shell off but fun nonetheless!
Low end torque actually isn't important in an offroad vehicle when you have a transfer case to quadruple it. The limiting factor is actually traction (or snapping axle components). Price is getting crazy though, when I bought my 2000 TJ it was actually very affordable.
@@Luiserck FIAT IS NOT AFFILIATED WITH JEEP/DODGE/CHRYSLER/RAM AT ALL!!!! Jeep has two Fiat vehicles and that's it!!!! THE GOD DAMN WRANGLER/GLADIATOR/GRAND CHEROKEE/CHEROKEE HAVE NO FIAT AFFILIATION. So shut the fuck up with your ignorance!
Though i really wish they gave it a higher hp version of the pentastar, maybe the 305 hp state of tune it has in the challenger. though more would be ideal because they added a significant amount of weight. the 2017 base model sport 6 speed manual jk weighed 3760lbs, the 2018 base model sport 6 speed manual pentastar weighs 3970. 210 pounds of weight gain warrants an increase in power I think.
The TJ Rubicon I owned had straps that you had to attach to the backseat to hold it in place. I am surprised they did not include these. Same thing for the windshield when it was folded down, they provided straps to keep it from bouncing. Just sayin........... :D This thing compared to the '03 TJ I had seems like it is a Mercedes.
I've owned Jeeps since 1977. The JKU I own is the favorite vehicle in the family as a daily driver. I'm buying a new JL 2 door to add to the stable of a CJ-5 and a TJ. My daughters love them. I get tired of people whining about using the JK's as a daily driver. If you want a Lexus suv, buy a lexus.
Would the bottom latches on the seat lock if you slammed the seat down without unfolding it (when it popped up like you were complaining?) My GX470 middle row does this when you initially release it (it folds forwards) but then you sham the back of the seat back down and it will relock those latches with the seat back still in the down position.
Sofian with redline is doing fantastic reviews. Between his performance mazda/jeep reviews I'm really seeing some in-depth coverage that in this case, makes you think the jeep could almost be worth it's price tag with all of the features and planning he points out...if only you could be persuaded the jeep engine/transmission/etc will work on that price tag and I'm almost reluctant to believe the quality and longevity will be there. Interested in the 4cyl auto, ive heard it rev, sounds smooth and strong, I also understand from a dealer there are two 4cyl versions available which didn't see viewable on its website. All of that new tech I'm hesitant this will even be reliable if they cant get basic versions right for reliable lifespan. Its like Jeep has an engineer for every component, all are Neanderthals and all speak a different language. Makes me think they cheated their way through engineering school, found a job with Chrysler.
The styling changes are obviously subtle, but I think the JL is better looking. Stock JK always seemed slightly awkward looking compared to the TJ it replaced. Can't quite put my finger on it, but the new ones just look "right", to my eye. Am I crazy?
Finally a review on a two door and not a Sahara. My first jeep wrangler was a 2012 sport door door. I loved that vehicle and it was my only vehicle for me and my wife and we actually learned and loved to live with it. Had to sell due to my second child since it was though with my first one due to car seats and stroller, but now my youngest is almost a year and in 3 years she'll be 4, so it's a two door again. Two door are the classic, the iconic model. 2 doors are cheaper like for 4 grand, looks better. V6 is the way to go and hopefully they will offer the diesel on the two door and not just the 4 door like they planned. My next one will be a Rubicon two door basic, soft top, no leather, none of those safety features, screw those extra stuff. Very nice reciew
I never had issues. I actually like the way it drove. But the hard top was a pain to take off by myself, so a soft is better since where I live the coldest it gets is like 45 and the hottest 100, I live in San Diego.
I did some math a while ago. Although there weren't the EPA values yet, I estimated them on the last year's engines basis. Considering the 2L turbo requires the intermediate octane gasoline, and its average price increase, most probably the two cars are going to cost around the same in fuel. But the 2L is quicker because the torque is lower and for sure it can burn less if you drive with a light foot. By highway them both suck because of aerodynamics.
This thing is a serious offroader I mean it can handle the worst dumps I could throw at it , the center console can hold 2 maybe 3 dumps depending what you have been eating .
Hey Sofyan great review again. I currently have ‘16AWD sienna. Do you highly recommend this JL trading it up to any other SUVs out there? I was thinking about between this and the 4Runner. Been watching your channel for years now and I’m learning as I go. Thanks.
I just picked up a Wrangler Sahara today and I agree with you that fellow Jeep owners are incredibly friendly. Been waved at 5 times today. Love this ride!
Jeep has gone crazy with the pricing. Over 40K for this 2 door Wrangler is hard to swallow.
JD you right everything expensive trucks and all the SUV bad investment
Look at the way they hold their resale value. It's not a horrible investment for the car world.
Agreed! Wayyyyy to high. Idk who Jeep thinks they are. At the end of the day it’s still a Chrysler product and...well we all know how they are!
Have they? The base MSRP of a 1998 (built 1997-1998) I6 4x4 Wrangler 2dr Sport was $17,630. When adjusted for inflation, that's ~$27,000 with today's prices. The current model, the 2018 Wrangler 2dr Sport, has an MSRP of $26,995, and it is a far superior vehicle by nearly every objective measure and with most every other measure.
You forget the fact that average income hasn't grown at the same rate as inflation.
Wow! I was never a Wrangler guys, but this review completely changed my perspective. Those wranglers are pretty cool!
It's hard not to like the things, but really the question is, can FCA actually build a reliable, believable vehicle..??
I just bought my second 2018 Grand Cherokee but these 2018 wranglers raise the bar, and I never would have wanted one. Now thanks to your review I understand more of the appeal. Thank you.
Excellent review! Thank you. I'm also glad that you tested the 2-door sport version.

David Zavala I know Wranglers has had leaky roof problems, how was your experience? Yes about the Two doors, the four doors is a financial move to entice cross shoppers of traditional SUV.
That sounds dangerous.
2 doors? how are you supposed to fit 3 girlfriends in the jeep?
+Your Pal it seats 4
I like the pointouts, agreeable except for the soft-top looks really ugly scrunched back but their are so many options and why not splurge for the leather...really in the end...so many options but very great insight you have, preferences aside
Honestly, Ive now watched this three times (seriously considering getting the new JL model to replace my JK) and you're reviews are engaging and comprehensive. Bravo.....and thank you for this. You helped me decide to get hard top...and yet Im still vacillating between 2 or 4 door...but will be a Rubi.
Hard top seems the way to go structurally, would like to see one person remove these side frames.
16:00 According to the owner's manual, page 52, there are two retention straps located on the back of the rear seat, each should be fastened to the corresponding wire loop located on the back of each B pillar. This will hold the rear seat in the folded up position.
If Jeep can update their Wrangler, Toyota should be able to update the 4runner.
its not an update its all new redesign even though it doesnt look very obvious
That's what I meant.
I almost bought a 4runner over my Rubi but the 4 runner is slooooow and I feel like it handles badly. The new JL is just better.
Jason Morris Some people say that about the Wrangler too, but after this update with the Jeep, you'd think Toyota would do something with it. Had a 2002 and it was great for us.
guy proulx The 4 Runner is not built in Japan. Also saying it's a better daily driver than any Jeep is a personal opinion of yours. One I don't agree with.
The six-speed manual is definitely the choice for straight customers, and it’s a very good one.
Thats dedication car reviewing at 13° awesome review
goyaskippy81 thank you! The show must go on... but filming in the cold certainly isn’t fun :)
The temperature in the car read 45 😝
This is the best review I’ve seen. Gets to the point without B.S.
Awesome, I'm actually glad to see a more base model wrangler review. I miss my TJ dearly, and would love another Jeep. Thank you for the review! I wouldn't be shopping for a 50k Rubicon or anything crazy, so thank you.
Great review. You talked so fast and non-stop it's like you know the in-and-out of the Wrangler so well, most probably better than a Jeep salesman.
Awesome review man!! I was waiting all week since you replied to me about making this video haha! I cant wait to see the other trims of the new JL. Overall BIG fan of this channel! Thank you!!
Mina G L.
Its a great channel, but I can save you 30 mins. 1) Overpriced. 2) Still the same basic suspension that sucks on the highway. 3) Nearly as unaerodynamic as the JK (was .50 now .46, literally a barn door). 4) While virtually every truck manufacturer has started using aluminum and other tricks to reduce weight, the JL in some trims is as much as 4.3K lbs which is stupid heavy for its size . tl;dr: If you aren't spending most of your time at low speeds and offroad and have more money than sense, a Wrangler shouldn't be a first choice.

Great review! Just picked up an identical 2 door six-speed manual last week, absolutely love it!
such an in depth and comprehensive review.
Trading up for a Sahara one soon! Love the new JL. Has all the improvements needed!
Jeep Wrangler is one of the Dream Vehicle for many People. Good Review.
Wow. When you let off from the stop at around 22:35 or so, I was surprised how fast it picked up speed and shifted. Damn.

Hambone you just proved your own point right no one cares about your opinion in the comments
With that V6 diesel this is going to become an unstoppable beast! Off road or on road don't matter
My only fear is that diesel motor is going to cost like 5 million dollars. Wouldn't surprise me to see a diesel rubicon nearing $70k
Thank you for doing a 2 door review. I'm very interested in the 2 door. Great review also!
It was the CJ generation that had the headlights protrude into the grill, not the TJ
Great review! I ordered my Rubicon 2 door first of February ... still waiting here in Hawaii!
Jeeps are starting to grow on me. They can be pretty solid everyday driver vehicle especially if you live in rugged terrains.
Great review. Definitely one of the better reviews out there. I've been dying to see more 2 door JL videos! :)
Also, apparently there are straps on the new 2 door rear seat that allow you to keep it in place when it's folded up. Its on the back of the seats and attaches to the sides.
i am in luv with this car. only concern is the price. in 90-ies it was $14k and now its like $50k (top version). it's hard.
Nicely done and very thorough review. I like this little 2dr JL.
1st time in the channel... Really pleased to watch such a complete and spontaneous review!
Just subscribed.👍
CJ wrangler is thw Best for me! Vintage, good aura, strong, brave view and powerful. Yeah.. when you ride or drive the CJ wrangler you will say yeaaaah!!! Im the Man then light up your Stick of Marlboro. Yeaaah!
the king of offroad.
Jaylen Bond haha haha
it is so deal with it
Keynesian Economics yes but it’s 3 Times the price so Jeep takes it
Keynesian Economics
Actually, price does matter. Your average joe can't afford an $80k Toyota Land Cruiser, and if a vehicle can't turn a profit, then what's the point?
Use Trollgun 01 I’m sure it turns a profit, but that’s why Toyota only makes a handful
MY DREAM CAR ‼️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Me too...I want the 8 speed. In another year I can afford a used 2018. 2 years old price will drop.
i’m seeing these new wranglers everywhere
anyone else notice the near head-on collision at 27:01? lol
Anthony B You mean that silly van that went over the line as they went around the corner? Yes 😑
Yes!
I am a huge fan of how these jeeps just look like you should dump in it, I mean fill that glove box and center console up, taco bell Tuesday
Darkv0id don't you feel the same? That center console is perfect for duking in !!
Anthony B .
That’s a lot of money but that’s a fabulous 2 door.
Compared to my old Carolina Blue 1999 4 cylinder 5 speed TJ with a one inch lift, wheels and tires this new JL is a Cadillac Moon Buggy!! 285 horsepower? DAYMUN!! Compared to my old 1999 Spartan interior that new JL is a Cadillac! The JL is still too heavy in my opinion but it has lost weight compared to the JK. The Jeep Wrangler's have always had the BEST most commanding seating position I have ever experienced.
Looking forward to the pickup version. That's the one I would get.
Very well put together video.
My JL pros
-possibly the engine(s)
-8 speed transmission
-quicker throttle response
-soft top without ‘cross bar’
-soft top no zippers
-quieter soft top
-body color roll bar
-flat horizontal dash
-lighter/aerodynamic tweaks = better MPG
-real metal interior detail
-real hardware (not faux bolts) interior
-larger cup holders
-air vents for cooling under hood
-more slant in windshield (think rock damage)
-doors stay opened
-cabin is slightly longer
-doors remove easier/faster
-telescopic adjusting steering wheel
-bigger storage tub
-stronger and lighter tailgate
My JL cons
-push button start
-auto start/stop
-the bumpers (front and back)
-front running lights on fender flare
-too much digital visual “noise” on dash
-rear camera
-no hard drive in radio to store music
"damped but not lined with felt."
One of my favorite sofyan lines
is a very beautiful car I like its square shape
reminds me of a military vehicle
I buy jeep since 1998 I am very pleased
I do not change Jeep Wrangler with anything
Another thing to add, the tailgate is now magnesium and thicker than the JK to accommodate heavier load (larger tires, accessories, etc.).
Just got the 2018 4 door unlimited sport. You can come test drive mine 😂. It’s great. Little more vibration than expected with the whole shell off but fun nonetheless!
Very good looking vehicle
Excellent review! Hope to see your review of the refreshed Cherokee soon.
Nice to see a two-door review. They are the best looking and driving by far.
Tired of seeing the 4-doors everywhere.
Very pleasant review. Good job!
for the rear seat foldup, i use ratchet straps to keep it from bucking metal on metal while driving
Make me want to buy one again!!!
Terrific SUV..
My dad wants this so bad. Hope he gets one.
Great review!! Really well done. Thanks!
fantastic review...really well done!
The lights pushing into the grill is a throwback to the last real jeep the CJ not the TJ
cant wait to have mine!!!!
Can’t wait to see some new mods
Low end torque actually isn't important in an offroad vehicle when you have a transfer case to quadruple it. The limiting factor is actually traction (or snapping axle components).
Price is getting crazy though, when I bought my 2000 TJ it was actually very affordable.
I'd double check your facts, i'm pretty sure those dash accents are metal.
Nice to see Chrysler headed in a good direction
D Tay Exactly, they get way too much hate.
Hell nah 😂
Aqua Reviews yeah and it’s deserved
You mean Fiat
@@Luiserck FIAT IS NOT AFFILIATED WITH JEEP/DODGE/CHRYSLER/RAM AT ALL!!!! Jeep has two Fiat vehicles and that's it!!!! THE GOD DAMN WRANGLER/GLADIATOR/GRAND CHEROKEE/CHEROKEE HAVE NO FIAT AFFILIATION. So shut the fuck up with your ignorance!
Most amazing car reviwer ever. Makes the reviews really fun, and funny at times
Though i really wish they gave it a higher hp version of the pentastar, maybe the 305 hp state of tune it has in the challenger. though more would be ideal because they added a significant amount of weight. the 2017 base model sport 6 speed manual jk weighed 3760lbs, the 2018 base model sport 6 speed manual pentastar weighs 3970. 210 pounds of weight gain warrants an increase in power I think.
i want that exact one !!!
The TJ Rubicon I owned had straps that you had to attach to the backseat to hold it in place. I am surprised they did not include these. Same thing for the windshield when it was folded down, they provided straps to keep it from bouncing.
Just sayin........... :D
This thing compared to the '03 TJ I had seems like it is a Mercedes.
I've owned Jeeps since 1977. The JKU I own is the favorite vehicle in the family as a daily driver. I'm buying a new JL 2 door to add to the stable of a CJ-5 and a TJ. My daughters love them. I get tired of people whining about using the JK's as a daily driver. If you want a Lexus suv, buy a lexus.
Does this version have the death wobble delete option? That would be great.

$40,500 for that is just insane!
Great review
My only gripe is auto start stop, but I’d be getting a manual anyway so no worries
Very informative review
I love this man he's into cars and he's cute AF. I can't believe I'm saying this out loud LOL.
Gay ass
He is cute.
He is gay too

Will you review the new Lincoln Navigator?
Aqua Reviews We have an Expedition Platinum coming later this month ;)
great vid it will be great if u make one with the rubicon jl
I liked this review. I have one suggestion. Try not to sound so rushed. Other than that, it was a great video!

I liked my 1994 better. 2 years old was 15K. Drove it 2 years. Got 15K ! Best resale has always been Wrangler.
Sofyan why didn't you help the Range Rover at 28:01?
The styling changes are obviously subtle, but I think the JL is better looking. Stock JK always seemed slightly awkward looking compared to the TJ it replaced. Can't quite put my finger on it, but the new ones just look "right", to my eye. Am I crazy?
A problem with that backup camera is you can't put a tire cover on
Glad I got a JK
Dig a hole on the tire cover-problem solved
Angle grind that shit off.
Finally a review on a two door and not a Sahara. My first jeep wrangler was a 2012 sport door door. I loved that vehicle and it was my only vehicle for me and my wife and we actually learned and loved to live with it. Had to sell due to my second child since it was though with my first one due to car seats and stroller, but now my youngest is almost a year and in 3 years she'll be 4, so it's a two door again. Two door are the classic, the iconic model. 2 doors are cheaper like for 4 grand, looks better. V6 is the way to go and hopefully they will offer the diesel on the two door and not just the 4 door like they planned. My next one will be a Rubicon two door basic, soft top, no leather, none of those safety features, screw those extra stuff. Very nice reciew
I never had issues. I actually like the way it drove. But the hard top was a pain to take off by myself, so a soft is better since where I live the coldest it gets is like 45 and the hottest 100, I live in San Diego.
When is the 2.0 TURBO coming out?
I feel like the 2 liter turbo is the best way to go you get great MPG and torque for off road it's also probably lighter
I did some math a while ago. Although there weren't the EPA values yet, I estimated them on the last year's engines basis. Considering the 2L turbo requires the intermediate octane gasoline, and its average price increase, most probably the two cars are going to cost around the same in fuel.
But the 2L is quicker because the torque is lower and for sure it can burn less if you drive with a light foot. By highway them both suck because of aerodynamics.
Question: Doesn't the hardtop on the JL have removable rear windows? Or is that only for the 4dr?
This thing is a serious offroader I mean it can handle the worst dumps I could throw at it , the center console can hold 2 maybe 3 dumps depending what you have been eating .
Take a shot every time he says a variation of “surprise”.
i feel like you watch doug demuro alot
Hey Sofyan great review again. I currently have ‘16AWD sienna. Do you highly recommend this JL trading it up to any other SUVs out there? I was thinking about between this and the 4Runner. Been watching your channel for years now and I’m learning as I go. Thanks.
That dead area in the steering is a deal breaker. What were they thinking with that?
From The D.C. Area nice.......
Can somebody pls inform me when the new 2 door will be released.
My two door is built and sitting in Toledo. Ordered it 1/4/2018. I’m hoping it will ship any day now.
Can you take the rear seats out?
More tech and a better looking interior and exterior, ITS A WIN-WIN situation! Love this Wrangler!
Anyone know if your able to remove the back seat completely?
I like the wranglers theyre cool but you can get more from the 4runners for less
Is the sound to physical mouth movement timing off?
When I turn in my Journey I'm getting a 4 door Wrangler. Thanks for the review but I know it's faster than 8 seconds in a 0 to 60
