The all wheel drive 4.7 v8 gets about 14-15 city mpg I think that is perfect if you live in a climate where all wheel drive is needed. The car has perfect power, steering ability and off road performance. I had a 1997 grand cherokee and I can say jeep has come a long way perfecting it. All the way around it is a very good car!!! Its now at 175,600 miles and all I have had to replace is 2 raiditor hoses, brakes, bulbs, and fluids!!!! It is a very strong suv!!! I've had it for 3 years now and will never get rid of it

Got the Jeep with 75k on it; looked great and ran well until 80 k. Replaced struts,radiator, tune up( 16 plugs!) Trans now jumps into 3rd gear all the time-dealer has no idea what the problem is. Dash lights continually flash , not a bad car but expected more from jeeps flagship. Update; This jeep HAD to have been built on a Monday morning by the hungover or still drunk workers from the law. Too many gremlins and expensive fixes to mention. Will never look at another Chrysler product in my life. terrible....just terrible.

Hemi Limited Quadra Drive II Rocks!

I've owned several SUVs and this one has been reliable, luxurious, capable of handling off road trips, and fast. I like the clean lines, simplicity of the controls/switches, and the leather interior is nice and the seats are very comfortable. The 5.7L Hemi is a rocket and the 4wd Quadra Drive system handles snow, ice, rain, mud, and off- roading/camping with ease. My only wish is for better gas mileage, as I get 15mpg in the city and only 18mpg on the hwy at 75mph. I've not had a single problem with this Jeep and would buy again. It has a 7yr/70k powertrain warranty, so I'll keep it at least that long--not anticipating any problems with regular maintenance. I'd recommend this vehicle.

I bought a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with a 4.7L engine in February of 2009. It had odd electrical issues - the message center would constantly tell me to "service the 4WD system" but I never used the 4X4 and the rear passenger side window wouldn't roll up after being rolled down. And the car got terrible gas mileage! My previous Jeep, a 1999 model had gotten great mileage and I never had problems with it. It was a great car! Then my boyfriend totaled my '05 Jeep. To replace it, I decided on an 05 Limited with the 5.7 (Hemi). And this new one stinks too! Gas mileage is even worse, and the passenger side window won't roll up. Plus, the car leaks when it rains. I used to love JEEP!

2005 GC Limited Hemi 5.7- Still Smiling

17 years ago May bought it new. Young family and lots of activities. Looked after it year over year 700km one way drives to Laurentian's and this Jeep felt even better all loaded up. Snow-not a problem, winding uphill, like a mountain goat. Yup, tires, bearings, rad, brakes, starter tranny replaced and chrome wheels need cleaning up but no rust and A/C and Nav still operable. Overall- 300,000 km + and even with new rides still can’t let it go. Like a reliable friend- does the dirty jobs now and kids drive it and feel safe. Pig on gas though…knew it.
