Review

I am reasonably satisfied with my new jeep. I live on a gravel road that does not always get cleared in the winter and wanted a replacement for my Tahoe (awesome in the snow) yet not so big.

Favorite Features

The 5.7 liter motor is a beast in power and thirst. The quality of the leather seats is outstanding. As far as I am aware Chrysler is the only manufacturer offering the built in hard drive. I have loaded at least 20 CD's into it - awesome.

Suggested Improvements

I appreciate the side bolsters on the front seats but the seat is just not wide enough if you are more than a 34 waist size. Driver seat does not lower far enough - looking through top of windshield. The 5.7 liter has deactivating cylinders which give decent highway mileage.

3rd one

Review

This is my 3rd GC. I've owned a 05/07 and now an 09. Why do I keep buying them? I love the look, comfort and drivability. I truly can afford any SUV I want, but I'm frugal. When you take the discounts into account this is one of the most affordable SUVs on the market today. I literally purchased the 4 WD Laredo with the W option package for under $25K (sticker was over $36K). Couple the price with the outstanding service department which is only 2 miles from my house and you have a pretty good combination. Many folks are put off by the high sticker price and may not even consider the GC. The base model competes well with the smaller cars and is a much nicer SUV.

Favorite Features

Leather, sun roof, heated seats, boston acoustics sound system.

Suggested Improvements

Work on reliability.

Review

I recently purchased a JGC Laredo 4WD. I traded in my Audi for the Jeep and I must say that I was very surprised. This Jeep was awesome. The drive was smoother than any CAR I've had so far. Very impressive. My only recommendation is to buy the 4.7 V8 or bigger. The 3.7 is a bit weak. However, it has enough power. But what a great surprise for my 1st SUV! So far so good!

Favorite Features

Smooth ride, very comfortable interior

Suggested Improvements

Make 4.0 V6 instead of 3.7

Review

We bought two Jeep Grand Cherokee Limiteds. We have put 12000 on both of them and so far not one problem. Very comfortable. One has the Hemo and the other has the 3.7 six. We have had 7 previous Jeeps and these are the best.

Favorite Features

Stereo, nav system

Suggested Improvements

cup holder make them a little bigger

2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4dr SUV 4WD (3.7L 6cyl 5A)

Review

Just purchased a Limited with 5.7 V8 Hemi engine. The engine is powerful and provides excellent acceleration. This is my first Jeep ever. My wife and I are happy with the car so far. The build material is decent for an American car, but not as good as other cars we considered (BMW X3, Audi Q5). We decided on the Grand Cherokee because we got a decent deal after the Chrysler rebates and dealer incentives. The major downside is the gas mileage, which has been dismal (for the first tank of gas). But we are weekend drivers so hopefully this is not a major issue.

Favorite Features

V8 Hemi engine. Solid ride quality. Decent handling for a Jeep. Good value.

Suggested Improvements

gas mileage. Interior materials is ok but not at the same level as competitors. Trunk space is not the biggest.

Review

I have only ever driven GM vehicles. I decided I wanted to upgrade to a SUV. I had done a lot of research online and had narrowed my choice to a Jeep Grand Cherokee or a Ford Edge. I had actually decided on the Edge. After the deal fell through, I took another look at the jeep. The dealer allowed me to take it over Memorial Day weekend and by Monday I was sold. I love the way it handles, the security and peace of mind. Mine came with the touch screen radio and my gig. I got the Rockie MT Package and it has everything I wanted. Take another look at Jeep!!

Favorite Features

My Gig, Uconnect, Ride and handling

Suggested Improvements

Think the stereo controls should be on the front of the steering wheel and labeled. I am still struggling to get to know how they work.

Review

I recently purchased a 2009 GC Limited with the 4.7. Given the purchase incentives, my love of Jeeps and the versatility of this vehicle, I am very satisfied with the purchase. I'm from a Northern climate, and appreciate the Quadra Trac and all weather handling of this vehicle. I plan on driving Jeeps for the remainder of my driving "career”!!

Favorite Features

Versatility, from weekend projects to weekend trips,it handles both well !!

Suggested Improvements

Larger back seat, a bit more cargo room.
