[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are not terrible safety ratings and they do not distinguish between the 2 and 4 door.  One test had the doors off, so it failed that test.  The 2018 are getting a lot more safety features in it.  They aren't environmentally unfriendly.  They get the same gas milage as other SUV's and some cars.  [/quote]

The safety ratings are pretty dismal: "Safety has some weak spots.The NHTSA gave the top-heavy Wrangler only three stars out of five for rollover resistance, while the IIHS gave the two-door Wrangler a [b]Poor [/b]in side impact.Other IIHS scores were better, as both the two-door and four-door earned the top “Good” rating for moderate frontal impact, and [b]Marginal [/b]in the difficult small overlap frontal test, while the four-door Wrangler Unlimited got a better Marginal rating in side impact.

The only standard airbags are the mandated dual front bags, while side-impact front bags are optional; we can't think of another vehicle that doesn't have standard side-impact airbags in front.Moreover, there are no available advanced safety features, not even a rearview camera."

They also call the on road driving "raw, archaic and sloppy.The old-school recirculating-ball steering is sturdy but dull, the ride is bouncy, and the vehicle leans a lot."

None of that makes it sound like a remotely good choice for a young and inexperienced driver.[/quote]
