Consumer Reports Review

So I just got the new issue of Consumer Reports with the new reviews for 2017 cars. And of course the Wrangler got the absolute worst rating of any car/van/SUV/or truck. A 28 out of 100

I just don't think these guys get it. We don't care! It's a Jeep and that's what we want. It is what it is.

Kinda like when my 4 year old asked why I take the doors and roof off... and I say "Because I can honey". Then she asks why don't we take Moms Acadia doors off.... "Because they can't baby, sorry"

And also why my wife bottomed out the front skid plate parking on a curb at a mall. They don't mention anything about that, so they :)

Even with the reviews, I love my Jeep

With such a bad review wouldn't they think sales would suffer. That's not the case b/c people don't care.

I've been looking at getting a renegade for my daughter. Across the board Jeeps reviews are not that good. They own the market with the Wrangler. My opinion is that they stop trying to be something they're not and stick to what they know​ and are good at. Drop all those other models. Didn't they learn from the disaster that was the commander experiment. Also, the reviews are for Soccer mom's that will never use the Jeep as intended.

You can't get awesome CR ratings and be good offroading.

Bonus points if you can tell me chapter and verse.

I find it funny they try to compare the wrangler to the likes of ford edge, dodge journey etc...and at times even the higher end suv's like the range rover :cheesy:

I've never seen it compared to the Toyota FJ or anything that is actually in it's class - but I suppose that's why it wins awards and is as popular as it is - it's in a class of its own :thumb:

Now I've owned range rovers, jaguars and other lux cars - while incredibly comfortable and nice they were just not as fun as my Jeep or muscle cars. but they were women magnets when I was younger and cared lol

In all of my pre-jeep ownership research, I never once looked at consumer reports or any other yuppie-type magazine reviews. I knew that those types of reviewers mostly wear cardigans and polo shirts. Not me....

Jeep wrangler has never had a good review from those people as far as I know, they also don't review it for what it is best at.

Consumer Reports does not have the background or experience to evaluate automobiles and, far be it, Jeeps. Anyone that believes CR deserves to be driving an under powered gerbil car. CR should stick to what it knows: Evaluating electric razors

Honestly, how can we argue the facts that CR laid out in the review? Face it, Wranglers are loud, get shitty gas mileage, have fair to shitty reliability, handle ok, but surely no one would say great, waaaaaaaay overpriced for what they are, I could go on and on and on.

What the article can't relate is that these, like Harleys and maybe Vettes a little, are lifestyle vehicles. We love them for what they can do and where they can take us. Rad blows out at 38,00 miles? So what -got me one on Amazon for $100 that I'm putting in this weekend. If the same thing happens with the family truckster we're bitching up a storm! Throw a 4" lift on it and all the warning lights go off? Eh, cut the purple wire and throw a cut-off switch on that bitch!

But we all know this. We just choose to overlook all the crappy properties of the damn things because for us, it just doesn't matter.

I'm going to sell my jeep and get their #1 pick for an SUV, the Toyota Highlander Hybrid. I'll start a forum on modding it too. See you on the trails!

Anyone that reads Consumer Reports to help decide if they should buy a Wrangler should confirm that they have a vagina in their pants and get a Toyota instead! Sorry ladies.

It's amazing that such a "crappy" vehicle sells every one that's built. No rebates, no incentives. You don't read that in CR... go figure.

I do wear a polo shirt off roading a lot and its comfortable but no cardigans. Had my JK for 3.5 years no problems yet. Seems reliable to me so far.

Yes, I did get the water up to my headlights and no problems.

I remember reading CR in the 1960's about the Corvette (have a 64 and still do after 40 years). They always gave them a poor rating because they had to much HP.

Right on Granite, its all about the audience. Matt 6:24 for the bonus

Forbes doesn't like them either. They even say Jeeps have low resale values so their credibility is suspect right off the bat.

Consumer reports is wrong a lot, they give positive reviews for instance on Appliance brands i fix all day long. In fact, those brands help put big tires, lift kits, spods etc on the jeep. Ty Consumer Reports!
