Thankfully, I don't own this car anymore. I sold it for $9,000 @ 34,000 miles to a Honda dealership in Sandy, UT on a trade-in for another car. (I got a good deal, this car is worth less than $2,000 and they gave me 9k!)

Top speed (no joke): 65 mph (50 uphill, 70 downhill)

Please rate this car 0 in all 5 categories. It was a pile of crap. It could literally only go 65 on the freeway, I was always being passed and I was restricted permanently to the right lane. And when you do want to go faster than 40 in that car (which is a difficult task), the air resistance is so loud on the vehicle that it sounds like the windows are rolled down always. You can't even carry on a conversation with the person next to you. The sound system cannot be worse than it is. There's just 2 hella weak speakers in the front that crack up real bad and sound like $5 speakers. The handling and ride was very rough, uncomfortable, and jerky. You go over a pebble and it feels like you're going to roll. NO POWER. Want to take this car off-road? Maybe in your dreams. When I put it in 4WD it felt like it was going to fall apart. Gas milage? Awful. 16 miles/gallon. How can a powerless, wimpy little 4cil. engine guzzle so much gas?

So if you want to get a Jeep (which you should NEVER NEVER EVER EVER do), opt for a 6+ Cil., not a 4. But you don't need to worry about that since you will NEVER EVER get a Jeep, unless you still are stupid enough to want one after reading this.

Never buy a Jeep.
