Used 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Consumer Reviews
great off road, not so hot anywhere else
The new driver's side hand grip sticks out way too far-- it's a driving hazard. The sound system is way too complicated and not much bang for the buck. I LOVE the off-road handling which is why we bought it. The Hemi engine is great but the pain at the gas pump really hurts -- couldn't it get better mileage? I find the comfort and seeing/views from the drivers' side to be much worse than our previous SUVs -- '93 and '03 Ford Explorers. But out in the desert? Stay outta my way!
Not Bad At All!
WE bought it just to tow our camper! We added a tow bar to tow our camper and have made seven trips so far. Even with the 6cyl 3.7, it pulls and rides like a charm! Just recently we have had to have the drivers door seal replaced due to it protruding out a little far when you enter the drivers seat. The back seat leg room is tight for an adult, but is good for kids.

Nice Comfortable Ride
Bought the Jeep in Las Vegas, NV and drove it home to NJ. It was a fun ride, making a stop in Chicago, IL. Very smooth ride, accelerated well, gas on the highway was very efficient and the sound system was excellent. I love my Jeep.
Transmission
I bought this jeep used, I have only had it 6 months. It has 64,000 miles on it. It has no warranty on it because i bought it used. I took it to the dealership and it now needs a new transmission, which they quoted $3,00-$4000.
Better Styling, Less Comfort
Great looking car, but nowhere near as comfortable as my previous model Grand Cherokee.
