There are four seats in the Wrangler, but this is really a vehicle for two people assuming comfort is a goal.The front-passenger seat lifts up and tilts forward to allow relatively easy access to the backseat. Once here, however, anyone other than a gullible child will find it cramped, best reserved for storage. It would also be best if the driver is not the proverbial tall drink of water. The problem is that the rearward seat-travel is restricted, and drivers 6-foot or taller are likely to feel they can?t get far enough away from the steering wheel, which extends back toward the driver on an over-long column. The driving controls and the instruments are basic and lack the slick feel and convenience of modern passenger cars, although one can pass that off as character. It works for Ferrari. All these little problems aside, there is still a quirky charm to the Wrangler, perhaps because it is so relentlessly inappropriate in an urban/suburban environment.
