[@scottieray]

I half expected Geralt of Rivia to ride out of the woods on Roach. Good review. Many think Jeeps have to be extreme rock crawlers or 70 inch tired monsters...but the mid-level non-rubicon trims can go places you'd never believe. They are truly capable.

[@darioferrarini4123]

Never going to buy one? ???My 2021 JL Sahara 2 door is my SEVENTH Wrangler and I never felt happier!!! It's also GREAT for the city because of the bumps and you can park everywhere! The 2.0 petrol combined with the automatic is awesome!!!!!!

[@MarekDrivesENG]

I have a special use case scenario. My gear doesn't fit and poorly protected, the car is terrible on long motorway journeys, I don't have time (or place) to drive off road :)

[@Logan-de3xx]

Great review, I’m half polish but born in Canada. I have the 4 door Rubicon JL and it’s great over here. Funny that’s me coming from a Subaru STI.... the absolute opposite in handling but I love my Jeep!🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@witoldwolfram]

Marek, if you want to test Sahara without a roof and door or make any other shots, I invite you to Poznań. I bought same one but with a petrol 2.0 Turbo engine 1.5 months ago and I’ll gladly lend it. And now I will surprise you, this is currently my only car, and before it in reverse order I had 911 996, Subaru Outback, MX5 NCfl Kirei, MX5 NC. P.S. After good negotiations in the salon, the price from the initial 226k dropped to 182 thousand + 5 years warranty + 3 years of service package (and this is a new car, not a demo). Therefore, do not scare viewers with the price, because it is the starting price 🤣

[@Nemanjap995]

What an amazing review, definetely in class with British car reviewers! Wrangler indeed is a mad machine, at least for what it is meant for.

[@3yar1983]

Car looks so beautiful with roof off!

[@CheaperJeeperTV]

Hey Marek, Great job with your video. My JL now has over 100,000 kms on it. I'm new to KZbin so my 100,000 km review leaves a little to be desired, but I took a lot of tips from watching how well you've done your video. Best Regards. Dino in Canada.

[@annamason644]

I don’t think it’s a Sahara it’s probably a sport S or something below. Sahara’s also normally have white outlining the fog lights in the front bumper which this one does not.

Great, now maybe you could get the US Supreme Court to rule that banning ANY dog breed in the US is unconstitutional...I love Pits and Rotties but many cities simply won't allow them...If we tried this with people, we'd be looking at Civil War II...Seeing a Wrangler driver with their dog is about as American as you can get!!!! Keep it up....

[@michailangelopoulos5602]

As far as I'm concerned, the best JL review so far. And I have watched all of them. Congratulations.Excellent work, you gained a new subscriber. If you think 50k is expensive, you should hear the greek price of 90k because...socialism (I think we call it environmental tax nowadays). And to think that I was waiting for the JL in the hope of the used JK prices dropping...

[@MrSjeupie]

Try The Netherlands; way beyond 100k, without options...

[@Ekowal1965]

That's a very nice review. I owned JK and wait what the diesel engine will be like in North America. One thing I think is not appreciated in Europe how big off road culture is in US or Canada. Especially West Coast. From Baja Mexico to Alaska there are millions of acres of wilderness to explore. Now the $stakes$ are much grater with Gladiator on the scene. :))

Marek, we have JLU Sahara my 2018 and JK Rubicon 3.6 MY 2016 - daily cars and all family love them both.

[@donaldfuller5058]

I have a 2015 Jeep Wrangler jk as my only car But my wife has a Nissan sentry. I stopped driving her car when I get my Jeep yes it is a used jk 2door but never went off road and clean body and fax on it. I think the jk soft top is better than the JL and I’m thinking why did they switch to that frame. My sister in-law’s JL frame on the top is hard to get all the way down. The jk unzipped the sides roll up the back flip the corners undo the two front latch’s push in to side clips and the top falls backwards to the resting position in the back. In the time it take for McDonalds to get your food ready to eat for four people. And it goes up a little slower no by much just put all of the top to the front and latch the front and up the top backwards and do everything else and if you are lucky no one will get but a few drops of water before it rains. The JL top I think it is harder to put back up. Now if the put the sides and top of the JL on the frame of the top of the JK top I think it would be the best thing. But I’m talking of the 2doors only. Now the JL top with just the sides and back windows pieces off and the top up looks good much better than the JK with the back rolled up and the sides off you got those corners that are made into the top. Now I didn’t want the hardtop and my sister in-law was happy not getting the hardtop because where to put it when you want a open air Jeep and if that is the only top you have what are you going to do when it rains and your top is at home? Now the JL windscreen can be put down fast but once you get the wipers off and the first time is the hardest go to a shop and have them pulled off the Jeep after that your tool kit can get the nuts off and you can remove them with your hands. And doors off they sell mirrors for doors off driving. And windscreen down is for trial and city driving not high speed unless you tie the windscreen down and have eye protection on for everyone. Oh the JL seats suck it more about the 2door front seats the release to get in the backseat the release handle broke on both front seats on my sister in-law’s 2019 JL but if you get the four door you don’t have that problem. It is a cable that run inside the seat it breaks she replaced both of them they use a cable because of the airbags in the seats why I don’t know.

[@pujabelgian]

That was a really good review.. Fiat? Fix It Again Tony! 😲 Jeep owners are fiercely defensive of their love affair.. might have something to do with paying an arm and a leg for what is in effect a toy. We like our 2 dr JK sport soft top with the flip back sunroof, manual everything, nothing to store.. but as an only vehicle, think twice. My complaint, too gentrified! I prefer industrial design like a 30 yr old Defender which costs considerably more than our new JK sport did.

[@Roamingeast]

benefit of a Jeep is that the resale value is ALSO high. in five years, you're selling your Jeep at a 15% loss rather than the 50% for basically anything thats not a luxury vehicle.

[@donaldfuller5058]

I have a soft top jk and I really don’t lock it anywhere. Because if somebody wants in it to see what you have they can open it by unzipping it or use a knife on your $1500 top. So I use the locking compartments and don’t have anything valuable in it. And I keep it full covered insurance too.

[@Neatspejamasis]

I definitely would choose removable roof or doors instead of multimedia or digital cockpit. Also I sometimes wish I could live in outskirts and only car which could bring me home would Wrangler or Defender. By the way if you want to atract some women near night clubs you just need black X5 or GLE. Basic trim is enough, but make sure it is fitted with bigger wheels:)

[@cooperativecam5257]

Oh I'm gonna buy one, just you wait.

[@Blastfence1]

I think 🤔 your steering gearbox ⚙️ could use an adjustment looks like you have excessive gear lash. Tell the dealership to adjust the gearbox 1/8 of a turn clockwise then test drive and adjust again if required! PS Why did you rent a Sahara everyone knows it is a girls 👧 Jeep and you also will need a windshield wiper arm puller to get those wipers off to put down the windshield.

[@MarekDrives]

It's not a rental. It's a Stellantis press car.

[@FCisThePunisher]

A body on frame with removable doors off roader vehicle would never be able to score high on NCAP. Its made for off road first and on road second. If u buy one to drive around the motorway 95% of the time thats ur problem.

[@larrysmith6797]

The Wrangler is not for social justice warrior liberal candy ass pussies. Subarus are made for those people.

[@dieterfontaine78]

Lol, the first thing that popped my mind was: which car is best for off-roading? This Jeep Wrangler, the Land Rover Defender or the Toyota Land Cruiser.

[@MarekDrives]

I guess it's mostly down to what's easier to buy and service in your area. The Land Cruiser is probably the most luxurious of the bunch, and the Defender is the best workhorse.

[@jesuswasahermetic5871]

When someone says - *"Off Road"* I ask them to clarify that when buying a vehicle. Trails have different levels and are marked accordingly so what is it you want to do? *That's where to start* Next : Camp for the weekend? Camp for a few weeks? How many people? Pets? Genders? (Typical male can go 8 days without a shower wereas a woman 2/3 days max) Next : Sleep in a Tent, Hammock, etc *And the list goes on n on* My daughter and I Overland for 3 weeks a year straight so the 2 door Rubicon and customed 5x8 trailer is how we do and we Love it.

[@OriginalTeddy]

My experience owning one so far... Every ad, pamphlet, sales literature and even the sales pitch at the dealership revolve around it's off road capabilities. Yet doing things I did on a weekend basis with my 20 year old Wrangler TJ Sahara caused the yolk on the front inner axle to fail, taking out a ball joint and snapped an ear off of the now cheap aluminum steering knuckle. All on a brand new 2019 Wrangler JL Rubicon! First they tried to brush me off due to evidence of mud under the vehicle (for real?). The argument quickly escalated that I possibly hit something despite 0 damage on any other components. They wouldn't say I did hit something for sure, but since it was a possibility... they had an argument. It was also a possibility a part failed... just saying. When making it clear I couldn't be without a vehicle any longer and that I have to get it fixed, I asked if it needed anything else. They didn't know, as they didn't inspect it. They just saw it was broke and dirty and essentially just said nope unless I paid up. I was told they could see if anything aside from what they could see by looking behind the tire was broke, but I'd have to pay for a full inspection. At one point I was given the option to pay in "advance" to speed up the repairs and if the warranty kicked in, I'd be reimbursed. Ya, right... Being jerked around between the dealership and customer service, I took my jeep elsewhere to get fixed. Doing so apparently waived my right to complain anymore or receive compensation. But after 2 weeks of being without a vehicle... it had to be done. It turned into 3 weeks after everything was said and done. That's what 60k buys you! I've posted this a few times on Jeeps facebook page. Which are all deleted and I am blocked now from commenting. Guess your only allowed to tell people to go ahead and void your warranty work, it's fun!

[@MarekDrives]

I'm sorry to hear about your experience. I'm currently working on a similar case involving "sports cars".

[@kevinn1158]

Wow, talk about over priced. Here in Canada the Wrangler starts at 33.5k CAD or 23k Euro. I see a lot of them in downtown Toronto. It's kind of a poseur car. Jeep is also fighting it out with Range rover for being the rock bottom of build quality aren't they? JD power. Therefor, if I wanted a 4x4 to throw around I'd buy the Suzuki Jimny for half the price. The Jimny looks the part. The Wrangler with leather seats looks pretentious. Anyways, the Jimny isn't available in NA and I don't want to go off road, so there it is.

[@MarekDrives]

Well, in NA the Jeep is an every(wo)man's car. In Europe it's up there with premium brands (in terms of cost, because definitely not quality).

[@jboss6414]

@@MarekDrives I've never had any issues with our wrangler. it definitely drives better than the last 'JK' version... JUST SAYING IVE ALWAYS Had great luck with all the vehicles I've purchased, I never buy / purchase the first year model changes, its never good being the guinea-pig. P.S our Wrangler JLUR has been in the mountains on beaches & real trails.. its never failed us... lol p.s its Not called a "Car" in the states, if you refer to it as a car in the states some would know you probably don't really know the vehicle.. not a bad video but you should do a little more realistic testing reviews not just diving up a small hill and a little bit of sand... maybe you should check out what they really are capable of doing... look at real videos from LiteBrite on KZbin it may give you realistic view of what they can actually do....

[@MarekDrives]

@@jboss6414 I was talking about the Jeep brand in general, and I was referring to the feel rather than reliability (although I did test drive a KK Liberty/Cherokee with water leaking through tailgate hinges!!!!). The way Jeep is priced in Europe puts it in competition with Audi/BMW/Mercedes SUVs. I know you're paying for off-road prowess, but that brings me to the next point: there's nowhere to use this off-road prowess. I can drive a FWD hatchback in most places here in Poland. I may do some light damage to the undercarriage, but generally speaking there's not many places to drive these cars (trucks?) legally. Under the Polish version of this review one viewer rightly pointed out I probably broke the law driving up that trail in the beginning, because this is technically a forrest trail, and it is forbidden to drive on forrest trails, unless there is a sign explicitly allowing vehicles to pass :)
