Reviews SummaryNo new car feels so comfortably worn as the Jeep Wrangler, and arguably none has a more fanatical and fiercely loyal group of followers than this 77-year-old American brand. The Wrangler is a sun-loving, rock-hopping, mud-caked happy face on four wheels, which after 10 years—twice as long as most automakers allow a vehicle’s design to remain unchanged—is finally all-new for 2018. While the solid-axle, body-on-frame Wrangler Unlimited has no direct competitors aside from the Toyota 4Runner, the latest model’s performance, practicality, and technology is thoroughly improved. We drove the two-door 2018 JL Wrangler in a separate test. This review focuses on the Unlimited, the four-door version that Jeep first introduced for 2007. | |
Reviews SummaryIn their physical operation and everyday practicality, plug-in hybrids are head-scratchers. So are MINI Coopers, which are a personality cult of quirky, offbeat designs. The two have finally met in the form of the four-door, all-wheel-drive MINI Countryman that was redesigned for 2017. Operating the E Countryman All4 poses significant advantages as well as glaring disadvantages. We plugged in, filled the tank, and plugged in some more. Can an expensive hybrid with limited electric range make sense, even though as a MINI, it shouldn’t need to? Well, it's complicated. | |
