2012 Likes and Dislikes?
Hey yall,
Sorry if there is already a thread about this. I looked and couldnt find one. I went out tonight with my dad looking for a new jeep for me. I was really impressed with the new 2012's. I really like the new interior. I didnt drive one tonight, just looked and drooled on myself. I was wondering if anyone who has the new 2012 had some major likes and dislikes about it? Thanks!!

I have had mine for 2 weeks now and love it. I have been wanting an unlimited since they introduced the 4door in 07!!! This Jeep is awesome and I can't wait to get the mod bug for it!! I'm pretty sure from how you felt about just looking at them that u will love it!! Good luck and if you get one happy modding!!

just traded in my 2007 Rubicon Unlimited for a 2012 -
it is a completely different vehicle - the new engine and transmission are fantastic and a huge improvement -
if there are any cons is that it is too luxurious for a typical jeep - so it is missing that rugged simple interior -
personally i like it but some other jeepers will not...
also, i do wish the gas mileage would be better -
but boy do i enjoy driving it every day and i can't wait to get it off road -

I agree with everything directedby said. I traded by 09 2 door in for a 12 4 door. I love it. I also wish the gas mileage was a bit better, but the fun factor makes up for it.

Traded in my 2005 X and I don't regret it. I love the new engine. The sound it makes when I push the pedal on the right is awesome. The throttle response IMO is bad but can be easily corrected by an intake and better exhaust. The NVH is incredible. Could be too quiet???

like everything about it, power, comfort, great on and off road, even mpg compared to my LJ. major milestone in the jeep era for sure.
dislike having the rear driveshaft boot and weights hit my evap cannister skid and having to put in a psc one, although i really like my psc.
dislike having to deal with the exhaust crossover likely being hit by the front driveshaft. haven't tested it full articulation with the sway bar disconnected though.
but - in spite of the two unexpected fixes, still would get the 2012 in a flash even if i'd known about them beforehand.
