My wife currently drives a 2011 Wrangler Sport Unlimited. The four door convertible with a hard top. We love it. Yes, with her lead foot, the car returns only around 15 mpg. (When I drive it, it averages 18 - go figure!) It is a Jeep. If you are looking for a vehicle with precise steering, great brakes, and perfect fit and finish...look elsewhere. If you don't mind a clunk here, a rattle there, somewhat vague steering and the Jeep ergonomics (much improved in 2011...the interior is actually very nice and easy to use) - get one. It is the only year round convertible out there. I have heard great things about the NEW V6 and transmission for 2012. We look forward to stepping up to the newer model with a year or two.

With the factory steps...there is NO WAY to get a door ding on a Wrangler by anything smaller than a big rig.
