Young and restless? Go for the Jeep Wrangler

But Indians are not very far behind in wanting big and beautiful things. So go for the Wrangler. This is also the model which is closest to the World War II era Jeep. The 2005 Wrangler is far more civilized than the early models, though it still resembles them.

A four-speed automatic is available on all models. Four-wheel disc brakes are available for much better stopping ability. The side mirrors have been put in place in just such a way that it has reduced wind noise and allows for better viewing over your shoulder. But 2005 Jeep Wrangler models come standard with a new six-speed manual gearbox that replaces last year's five-speed manual.

But this still isn't the most practical everyday vehicle and may not be the best choice for someone drawn to it simply because it's cute looking. Getting into and out of the Wrangler is awkward. The interior is spare and the ride quality is rough by today's standards, though many young people won't mind that.

But care should be exercised as it doesn't handle very well, particularly in the rain. The reason for all this discomfort is that the Wrangler is designed primarily for performance off-the-road.

The 2005 Jeep Wrangler is available in six models: SE, X, Sport, Rubicon, Unlimited and Unlimited Rubicon.
