2010 jeep wrangler unlimited review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. The gold standard of off-road vehicles. introductionfew vehicles are better off road than a jeep wrangler. This is the one that started it all. It's much more comfortable and convenient, offering more cargo and rear-seat passenger space. Still, the traditional two-door wrangler has its charms, and we enjoy all of them. the 2010 wrangler has only minor changes, including a couple of new colors and some minor feature enhancements. There's an improved sunrider soft-top that is easier to remove, sahara and rubicon models have new alloy wheels, fog lamps and tow hooks are now standard on all models, the base sport models now have cloth upholstery, and there are other detail refinements. the wrangler is available in a very wide range of models and trim levels and with an extensive array of optional equipment and features. In all versions, the 3. 8-liter v6 engine develops 202 horsepower and 237 pound-feet of torque. The unlimited sport and unlimited sahara are available with rear-wheel drive (2wd) or 4wd. Options include air conditioning 895), a black appearance group 685), a chrome edition group 920), a 3. 73:1 axle ratio 50) instead of the standard ratio of 3. 21. 1, a limited-slip differential 295), the dual top group 1,625), sirius satellite radio ( $195), tubular side steps 395), infinity sound system 395), front seat-mounted side airbags 490), tinted windows 300), the power convenience group (power windows, power door locks, and remote keyless entry 585), an am/fm six-disc in-dash dvd/mp3 player 350), and trailer towing 320). Various option groups include p255/75r17 tires on alloy wheels. The wrangler sahara 26,255) adds a height-adjustable driver's seat, front-seat map pockets, monotube shock absorbers, air conditioning, infinity sound system, and p255/70 r18 tires on machined alloy rims. the wrangler rubicon 28,775) is the model for serious off-roading. To the sahara, it adds an electronic-disconnecting front anti-roll bar, the rock-trac heavy-duty transfer case, a heavy-duty front axle, tru-lok electronic locking front and rear differentials, a 4:10 axle ratio, rock rails and other equipment intended for the serious off-roader. Seat-mounted front side airbags for torso protection are optional. walkaroundthe jeep wrangler is one of the most widely recognizable vehicles in the world. The upright fold-down windshield is slightly curved for better aerodynamics and reduced wind noise. along the sides, all wranglers have assist steps under the doors to make climbing in easier, and fender flares that are bolted on, so they can be easily taken off for repair or replacement. the standard soft top is relatively easy to remove and install. The sunrider soft top slides back half way, like a huge sunroof over the front seats. The optional three-piece modular hardtop (freedom top) has two front panels that easily pop on and off like a t-top, and can be stored behind the rear seat. The third panel over the rear seat can be removed separately and stored in the garage. The freedom top yields a total of six open-air possibilities. under the body, there's a boxed frame with seven crossmembers. Wide-spaced frame rails cradle the fuel tank between the wheels. Three skid plates protect the fuel tank, transfer case and automatic transmission oil pan. interiorwranglers have traditionally been known as cramped inside. The comfortable high-back front seats offer more shoulder and hip room than previous-generation models, and the removable rear seat provides more shoulder, hip and leg room for each of the two passengers. The headrests flip back, so they don't need to be removed, making it easy to switch between cargo and rear-seat-passenger modes. That huge difference is because, in the two-door model, the rear passengers sit directly over the axle and between the wheel wells; in the unlimited, the axle is located behind the passengers. The instruments, including the optional compass and temperature gauges, are easy to read, and the controls are simple. The solid square buttons look good and are easy to understand and operate. The materials are made of sturdy plastic that works well in the utilitarian wrangler. the optional 368-watt infinity sound system comes with seven speakers, including a subwoofer. That's a lot of speakers for a jeep, but we think this is a good thing. It comes with sirius satellite radio, good for keeping up with the news when out in the boonies. The locking glove box is pretty big and there's a convenient grab handle above it. This is a jeep, after all, so the grab handle will be used on bouncy roads, or where there are no roads at all. the modular freedom top for the unlimited features sections that easily lift off and can be stored behind the rear seat. We found storing the two roof panels eliminates most of the cargo space. Cargo space is not unlimited in the unlimited. But it's a relative thing. Compared to earlier versions, the current model feels like a luxury liner. compared to the last-generation wrangler, the wheelbase is longer and the front and rear tracks are wider, the chassis has been stiffened and the suspension redesigned. All these things yield significant improvements in the ride and handling, but still, on city streets, the wrangler is pretty bouncy, and out on the freeway it can feel squiggly over pavement changes. The wrangler sport uses 16-inch tires, also on/off-roa. Power Locks✔ Power Windows✔ Anti-lock Brakes✔ AM/FM✔ MP3 Player✔ Sunroof/Moonroof✔ Air Conditioning✔ Alloy Wheels
