2011 Jeep Wrangler Sport

The 2011 Wrangler is Jeep's classic off-roader, the one people buy when they want to conquer trails and still drive it daily. It's genuinely fun to drive, with that rugged, truck-like feel and the ability to go just about anywhere you point it. Expect a bouncy ride and plenty of road noise, especially with the soft top, which is the trade-off for its off-road prowess. The cabin is basic and the back seat is tight, but the removable top and doors make it a convertible you can take almost anywhere. The Sport is the Wrangler you want if the Sahara's nicer seats or the Rubicon's locking diffs don't matter to you. The 3.8L V6 sends 202 horsepower through a six-speed manual and four-wheel drive, which is the same powertrain as the Sahara and Rubicon. With the soft top you get open-air freedom everywhere, but expect the sort of noise that makes highway trips a conversation with raised voices.
