2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport: owner review

I’ve wanted a Jeep, CJ / Wrangler for as long as I can remember. So I am pleased to say I have no regrets in buying mine.
Owner: Milan

What we love
  • Jeep Waves
  • It’ll take you just about anywhere you want to go.
  • I literally look forward to driving every time.
What we don’t
  • It’s noisy, everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) creaks or squeaks.

I’ve wanted a Jeep, CJ/Wrangler for as long as I can remember. So I am pleased to say I have no regrets in buying mine.

This Jeep was slightly used but never taken off road prior to my ownership. I’ve had it in Victoria high country as the snow was starting to fall, up to the headlights in river crossings, and fully loaded with wife, daughter and 3 weeks worth of clothes and what-not for a round trip to Uluru/Alice Springs.

She likes a drink around town averaging mid-to-high 11’s (litres per 100 kilometres), but once on the open road, fuel consumption quickly drops to mid 10L/100km. Tech is pretty limited with Bluetooth, air conditioning and cruise control being about it. But, they work and the nine speakers drown out any road/wind noise.

Take the front roof panels off in about one and a half minutes and it’s the best drive home from work you’ll have. Don’t buy a Wrangler expecting a plush, comfortable, and quiet car. These things are rough, noisy and bounce all over the place, but every time another Wrangler driver passes with a Jeep Wave and reassuring smile or head nod, you’ll be glad you’ve got one.

I’ve not had any major issues, apart from a failed crank angle sensor, which seems to be a common fault, but easy enough to rectify. You will definitely want to replace/upgrade the OEM headlights or add some driving lights, as the originals, well… they are there, but that’s about it.

Teacher accused of using rented Toyota Supra for land-speed record attempt

A high-school teacher in the US could be more than $6000 out of pocket if he is found to have violated the terms of use of a rented Toyota Supra driven to a top speed record. A US high school teacher is facing legal action – and $US4000 ($AU6000) in costs – after being accused of renting a turbocharged Toyota Supra performance coupe from a car-sharing service and used the vehicle in a racing competition without the owner’s knowledge. The high-school teacher from Indiana – and his team of female mechanic students – were on their way to compete in the 2023 U.S. Mile land-speed trials in Texas last month. The girls and their teacher had built a high-performance Chevrolet S10 pick-up for the ‘Texas Mile’ – a competition which sees vehicles try to achieve the highest possible speed from a standing start within one-mile (1.6km) on a runway. However, the 1997 Chevrolet S-10 ute suffered a mechanical failure on the way to the event. Due to the hard work put in to make the 1800km j...

2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport imagined with this artist impression

Gambar
The new flagship of the Toyota HiLux range was caught on camera in Thailand late last year wearing little disguise. Now we have created an artist impression of what it could look like. Last month we got our first look at a camouflaged version of the 2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport , the flagship ute set to replace the range-topping Toyota HiLux Rugged X in Australian showrooms later this year. Now we have an artist impression of the 2023 Toyota HiLux GR Sport (pictured above) that aims to remove some of the camouflage of the test vehicle caught on camera in Thailand mid-December 2022. As previously reported, although other versions of the Toyota HiLux GR Sport have been launched in Europe, South Africa and Japan over the past year or so, the 2023 edition appears to be the most aggressive yet. The latest Toyota HiLux GR Sport is set to come to Australia for the first time, though timing of the international unveiling and showroom arrivals are yet to be announced. A series ...

2024 Tesla Model Y facelift due mid next year – report

A major update for the world’s best-selling new car is around the corner, with “more obvious” exterior and interior upgrades. What the updated Model Y could look like, illustrated by Theottle. A facelift for the 2024 Tesla Model Y electric SUV may be less than nine months away – after a similar update to the related Model 3 sedan earlier this year – according to a new report. News agency Bloomberg reports Tesla has begun “preparation work” to ready its Shanghai, China factory for a “more obvious” exterior and interior update to the Model Y . Production “may start as soon as mid-2024”, according to the outlet – which could translate to Australian showroom arrivals by the end of next year, if the arrival timeline of the recent Model 3 update is a guide. It is sooner than the October 2024 estimate published in a report by news agency Reuters earlier this year.
