10 Things You Should Know About the 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited

#7. Stiff ride. Vague handling. And we grew fond of it anyway.


If you're thinking about a test drive of the 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited, set realistic expectations before ever stepping foot on a dealer's lot. First and foremost, this is a purpose-built off-roader, and that's the environment in which it truly shines. On city streets and highways, where we accumulated the most miles on our tester, the ride is stiff and bumpy, the steering light and uncommunicative, and overall responsiveness is about 9/10ths short of precise.

That being said, we grew surprisingly fond of our roaming Rubicon. Yes, highway drives required slight but frequent corrections to the steering wheel, and the macho John Waynes of tires - 17-inch BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/As - simply added to the inescapable barrage of auditory stimulation. But, the brakes were easy to modulate, and compared to older Wranglers, this current generation tackles pavement like a Ferrari. After a week, the relatively antiquated vagueness of it all was like an old friend, one that, unlike most modern cars, made you feel as though you were hitting 60 mph instead of the actual 40 mph. Speeding, for us, was an uncommon occurrence.
