according to cnnmoney.com, the jk wrangler is the worst road vehicle... followed by the hummer h3, and others like the jeep patriot, dodget nitro and the toyota fj cruiser. why? because they´re rating it as it were a suv they did not consider off road performance...

actually, i don´t care i did not buy it for road travel

 

haha, I just saw that article in the yahoo featured articles section. I don't own one yet, but hope to soon. No article is going to stop me. Just test drove one yesterday, and I enjoyed it.

 

these tests are hogwash, they don't live in the real world of chuckholes in the heartland in wintertime or spring. i agree its not the caddy ride of some cars but the roads are not smooth . we have some roads here that are worse then driving offroad i will keep my jeep and throw mud at there report

 

i also just saw it and came to post! i still love it.

 

How in the hell did FJ get a + for reliability??? People who do this reports should be tied to the back of the Jeep and dragged to death.

 

All of you "little miss urbanites" enjoy your CRV's when the road is washed out and you can't get through the mud and debris.

And all of you car owners enjoy your Camry's and Fusions when it's rained like hell and there's 5 inches of standing water on the streets and your car is flooded out.

I'll wave on the way by.

You know to be honest with you, the ride is one of the things I especially love about my Jeep. They can take their little ratings and shove it.

 

What I'm not getting right now is, why if they say that reliability doesn't count, do they say on the 10 Best Vehicle list that the Chevy Silverodo beat the Tundra due to reliability?? Even though the Tundra beat the Chev in most other categories. They get it right there but not with the FJ?

 

Just posted similar in another, related thread, but here are the keypoints to remember: off-road ability and fun factor are not easily quantifiable... hence the JK falls to the bottom of the list. No big deal, though: If anything, it'll keep more soccer moms out of Jeeps, and give the Jeep engineers a higher target to shoot for with the next major redesign... Oh, and for the record, I love my Jeep and wouldn't trade it for any other vehicle out there!

 

the people who wrote these reviews are just a bunch of morons, I love my JK!

 

I guess I am a complete idiot. I have both a JK and a Yaris.
:crazy eyes:
