Driving Impressions & Everyday Fit
The Wrangler Unlimited Sport stays true to Jeeps legacybuilt for trails and rugged terrain. Its solid axles, skid plates, and short overhangs make it a top-tier off-roader

.
However, as Car and Driver notes, those same traits can make daily driving feel a bit extreme:
High road noise, firm ride, and loose handling at highway speeds
Slower acceleration and poor aerodynamics relative to modern SUVs

One video reviewer put it colorfully:
It drives like a tough vehicle like a football player stomping his feet, and as a daily driver, the suspension is on the stiffer side and steering is fairly heavy.

Fun, style, reliability
By Idaho on Friday, February 10, 2023
I’ve driven this car for eight years with no trouble. It is the most excellent vehicle for snow and off-road terrain. Has never failed me. Very comfortable interior and of course excellent exterior looks. Only missing feature Id like to have is a back up camera. But this vehicle is now going on eight years old and I’m still asked if it’s new! These are good looking, high functioning, vehicles. - 5.0
My 2011 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited is Awesome!
By Marc B on Monday, January 16, 2012
I really do love my 2011 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited. I have been so pleasantly surprised at how great it handles and the tork and power it has. I wish I could keep it but I've got to have a big vehicle with alot of extra storage space for my business as a contractor as well as a musician that has to haul drums,a keyboard and a small PA system. Putting the back seats down flat does give me plenty of room for my 5 pc. drum kit w/cases but not for the rest of my equipment. I just can't afford 2 car payments either. I love the way my Jeep looks inside, the great stereo, the incredible heat and air conditioning, comfortable seats, the grip of the steering wheel in my hands and especially the tough and rugged outside appearance yet with a touch of elegance with the silver hardtop and 18” alloy wheels. Plus I've always wanted a Jeep since I was about 17yrs.old. Oh well, anyway...no complaints. Oh,by the way, the miles I put on the vehicle are almost entirely highway miles that I would have to travel in my business. I'm just looking for a good home and grateful, conscientious owner like I've been for my Wrangler. I'm also gonna miss the hand waves and acknowledgments from all my fellow Jeep buddies as we drive down the road. If you already own a Jeep you know what I'm talking about. If not...welcome to the Family! : ) - 1.0
Wobbles, very disappointing
By disappointed on Friday, February 24, 2023
I can't driver her above 65mph or she wobbles. I got an alignment and tire rotation and a new steering dampener. She still wobbles. I took her to the Jeep dealership. They said she needs an alignment and a "revised" steering dampener. I then took her to a local mechanic who did not know what was wrong and said you can start replacing parts but may spend thousand$ and not fix the wobble. She is not lifted and has standard sized tires. Jeep is very disappointing as a brand. I will never buy another Jeep. Money pit!!!!
