2. Why should people buy the Jeep Wrangler 2018 Philippines?
2018 Jeep Wrangler was built for the ultimate off-road experience you are looking around. It won't win any awards for on-road performance, but taking it off-road is a different story altogether. If you like a vehicle for adventuring, then the Wrangler is a solid choice no matter what terrain you drive over.
In addition, 2018 Wrangler has a strong V-6 engine, rugged exterior styling with modern luxury on the inside. The military-styling and classic angles look as good as ever in 2018. This vehicle still has a modern, luxurious interior with plenty of high-tech features and modern accouterments. The infotainment system, gauges and other dashboard controls are all well-designed and easy-to-use.
The 2018 Jeep Wrangler is one of the few SUVs to come with a manual transmission at all. The capacity to manually shift gears is essential for the best off-roading experience. Many modern SUVs come standard with an automatic transmission nowadays. Some don't even have the alternative for a stick shift at all.

4. What’s missing from the features?
One minus point cannot be ignored in 2018 Wrangle is loud wind and outside noises. The wind noises can be quite distracting, particularly at high speeds or on the highway. Jeep hasn't done much to prevent outside noises from becoming a nuisance. This vehicle is more for the adventurer than the daily commute to work.
The infotainment system and speaker system are just average. However, it suffers from some fussy behaviors that responses lag when using the touchscreen and controls
