Miles Overview
The 1997 Wrangler is Jeep's compact off-roader, the one with the removable top and doors that's built for trails more than pavement. Its short wheelbase and solid axles make it incredibly capable on rocky trails, though the ride is bouncy and the steering is vague on the highway. The back seat is small and cargo space disappears when it's in use, so it's best for two people and their gear. Owners note the soft top can wear out and the plastic fender flares fade, but most issues are easy to fix yourself with inexpensive parts. The SE is the base Wrangler, trading the 4.0L six found in the Sport and Sahara for a modest 2.5L I4 that keeps costs down. Its 2.5L I4 makes just 120 horsepower, so highway merging takes patience, but the lightweight chassis and standard four-wheel drive still handle mild trails fine.
