Anyone have one?  Is it reliable?  Problems?  I noticed that the warranty
went from 7 years on the 05 to 3 on the 2006. Is there a message in that?

Thanks

And one other thing:  What kind of gas mileage are you getting?

Thanks

I bought mine in January, and so far it has been extremely reliable.  I
bought the 6-sp. hardtop.  The only thing that died on me was amusingly
enough, the locking fuel cap.  A fuel pump handle malfunctioned, sending
gasoline spraying everywhere, and some of it got inside the cap where it
swelled the internal rubber seals, making it difficult to open.  The
dealer replaced it immediately without questions.

Almost forgot your question about fuel mileage.  Around town, I get
around 15, and about 18 on the highway.  The 6 is the only engine on the
Unlimited, and it's a great engine to have.  This is probably the most
reliable engine ever built IMO, and this is the last year you can get
one.  I can't see the planned V-6 minivan engine for 2007 being any more
reliable, just cheaper to produce.
