[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Try the FJ Cruiser[/quote]

I wanted one of those but they stopped making them.  Look at the New 2018's which are being released on Nov. 29th.. they have all the new safety features including cameras and air bags... before you talk, know your cars.  They are not bouncy and they don't lean or at least the 2017 we test drove a few weeks ago.  [/quote]
