My 2005 Grand Cherokee

First of all, I am 24 and this is my first SUV. My Jeep rides very smooth. I chose the V6 model due to rising gas costs (I was used to the gas economy of a 2001 Honda Accord EX). So far, I am still in love with this SUV. Most of my driving is done on the HWY, so I'm not too upset at the fuel economy. I get around 21MPG on the HWY and in the city and it can dip to about 17MPG. The AC blows great in the summertime. The engine does sound good when revved. I have noticed a little sputtering from time to time.

My fourth and best Grand Cherokee

I’m the second owner of this car at 152k miles still going strong. According to the original owner, only maintenance has been done with diligence in changing all the fluids before the recommended intervals. I use this for work, and I do almost 200 miles a day with mainly city driving and still average 23 mpg, which is a personal best with any Cherokee. I also have a four cylinder Kia Sorento which gets the same mileage but not as comfortable, but surely as reliable. I cannot attest to the reliability of the 4wd, but this rwd V6 is a great, smooth, sturdy vehicle and would definitely recommend this particular style to anyone considering a great used Jeep.

We have had nothing but continuing problems with this vehicle. It has been in the shop 4 times for transmission problems, one time for the security chip going out (leaving me stranded), and 2 times for the tire pressure light which comes on often for no reason. In addition, the MPG average is 13 mpg, which is not what the window sticker said. Also, the canvas type seats stain terribly, even from water. Kinda funny for a Jeep.

Traded in an Acura. This Laredo is so much more comfortable on long trips. Especially visibility, soft adjustable seats for smaller people, lack of road noise. Getting 22.5 mpg on interstates, 65 mph, A/C always on, V- 6 motor, 2WD.
