The new Wrangler’s a hit

When we were handed the keys to a 2007 Wrangler with less than 200 miles on it in December, we immediately new it was a big improvement. Three months later and we love this vehicle. And the addition of a four door version has been a BIG deal for Jeep. Wrangler sales are up 63 percent from a year ago, and there’s a 45 day wait to get one. But there are now plenty to rent. All of the rental agencies at the airport and a couple on St. John now have 2007 Wranglers. Among big improvements: Proper roll down windows. Easier to engage 4X4. More room behind the back seat. A lockable compartment in the back. An iPod jack. Much, much better ride. A steering wheel that looks like a steering wheel instead of a lunch box. GI Joe green appears to have beaten out fire engine red as the most frequently seen color. If you’re two to four people with modest luggage in tow, this is your rental.

    STT is not where you take your best friend for a quiet romantic dinner. The best solution is to hit the Beach Bar….you know that Tigger will always be glad to see you !

    Just got back from STJ and a full weeks rental of a new wrangler from St. John Car Rental. had 1000 miles on it and was still shiney and red and the inside very clean. The Wrangler drove well, turned very tightly and require 4WD only once. Down side – my end of week fill up was nearly 16 gallons for the 138 miles I put on the vehicle. Do the math – 8.6 miles per gallon.
