2011 jeep wrangler unlimited review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. The standard for trail vehicles. introductionfew vehicles are better off the pavement than a jeep wrangler. This is the one credited with starting it all. It's more comfortable and convenient, offering more cargo and rear-seat passenger space and a higher tow rating. Still, the traditional two-door wrangler has its charms and virtues. We enjoy all of them. The three-piece hard top has larger windows and is offered in body-matching paint on 2011 wrangler sahara models. All wranglers have a 3. 8-liter v6 engine, which develops 202 horsepower and 237 pound-feet of torque. A 6-speed manual comes standard, a 4-speed automatic transmission is optional. A hardtop is available, also, offering greater security. despite the added features and upgraded interior, the 2011 wrangler is not really an alternative to a car. It isn't comfortable by car standards. Fuel economy would merit a gas guzzler tax, and it isn't cheap. By 4wd standards it is considered the standard, however, especially in rubicon trim. A three-piece modular hard top called the freedom top 735) is available for all wrangler models. Half-metal doors with locks for the soft top are a no-cost option on the sport. (all new car test drive prices are manufacturer's suggested retail prices, which do not include destination charge and may change at any time without notice.) wrangler sport s 24,245) and sport s unlimited 27,745) add power windows, locks and heated mirrors, and remote keyless entry, cruise control, leather-wrapped steering wheel, and aluminum wheels. wrangler sahara 27,245) and sahara unlimited 29,945) add body-color flares, 18-inch alloy wheels, monotube shocks, 115-vac outlet, air conditioning, sirius satellite radio, power windows and locks, remote keyless entry, infinity stereo, and tube side steps. The soft top is standard. A hard top in black or body color 980) is optional along with the freedom top 735) or the dual top group 1,625) with both the freedom top and the soft top. sahara options include automatic climate control 155), two-tone leather heated front seats 700), and a navigation system 1,845) that includes 6. 5-inch touch screen, gps navigation, sirius traffic and cd/dvd audio. Also: a limited-slip rear differential 295), a 3. 73:1 axle ratio 50) to replace the standard 3. 21, an engine block heater, remote start, premium appearance (silver trim inside and out), and the trailer tow package. wrangler rubicon 29,245) and rubicon unlimited 32,745) is the model for serious off-roading. A combination of sport and sahara-grade pieces, it also gets an electric-disconnecting front antisway bar, the rock-trac heavy-duty transfer case, a heavy-duty front axle, locking front and rear differentials, a 4. 10:1 axle ratio, rock rails, lt255/75r17 bf goodrich mud-terrain tires on alloy wheels and other equipment intended for the serious off-roader. Seat-mounted front side airbags for torso protection are optional 490). walkaroundthe jeep wrangler is one of the most widely recognizable vehicles in the world. The upright windshield is slightly curved for better aerodynamics and reduced wind noise. It can be folded down to rest on the hood for true open-air motoring, but that is not a simple chore as it once was. This generation wrangler may look as square as the first jeeps, but not a single panel on it is completely flat. The sunrider soft top slides back half way, like a huge sunroof over the front seats. The optional three-piece modular hard top (freedom top) has two front panels that easily pop on and off like a t-top, and can be stored behind the rear seat. The third panel over the rear seat can be removed separately and stored in the garage. for 2011 the windows in the hard top are notably larger, helping driver vision and passenger claustrophobia. On sahara models the top can be ordered painted to match the rest of the bodywork. under the body, there's a boxed frame with seven crossmembers. Wide-spaced frame rails cradle the fuel tank between the wheels. Door panels have new surfaces, armrests, storage nets (nets drain better than pockets), and door pulls that won't break fingernails. The center panel controls have been moved closer to occupants for an easy reach, omni-directional air vents, and a lockable center console; some models offer a 115-vac power outlet. wranglers have traditionally been known as compact inside. The comfortable high-back front seats are surrounded by more shoulder and hip room than previous-generation models, and the removable rear seat provides more shoulder, hip and leg room for each of the two passengers. There's also more space behind the rear seat, which folds to provide nearly twice the cargo capacity as before; with the rear seat removed the two-door has 61 cubic feet of cargo space, more than many midsize suvs. the unlimited is larger. The headrests flip back, so they don't need to be removed, making it easy to switch between cargo and rear-seat-passenger modes. The unlimited can seat three in the back seat. The reason: rear passengers in the two-door wrangler sit between the wheel wells, while in the unlimited they sit ahead of the rear axle. instrumentation is clean and simple, against a background of dull (neither flat nor gloss) plastic. Solid square buttons look good and are easy to understand and operate. There's a new steering wheel with integral cruise and audio controls. The materials have more feel and texture yet remain easy-to-clean plastic that works well in the utilitarian wrangler. the wrangler is available with heated leather seats, upgraded usb input, bluetooth streaming audio, power heated mirrors, multiple power outlets, and automatic temperature control. All have additional noise abatement measures but don't think of a wrangler as a car. the optional 368-watt infinity sound system comes with seven speakers, including a subwoofer. That might seem a lot for a jeep, but it translates to decent sound with no top. The upgrade includes sirius satellite radio, good for keeping up with the news when out in the boonies. The locking glove box is big an.
