This is my 4th Jeep Grand Cherokee and my 3rd Limited. I love them. I have bought other cars and suvs in between, but I always end up wanting a Jeep again. They are well built, nice looking and a great ride. I won't buy anything else again.

4th Jeep - all Gr Ckees. I've been purchasing Laredo with Rocky Mtn edition - currently equipped with the X-package - perfect for me. Handling is solid as usual. Not as nimble as our Subie Tribeca. Fuel economy is as advertised. Since 05, I'm more confident with the handling. The shift placement of the gears has changed - I'm not certain if for the better or worse. Outside, nice stylings. Inside, huge improvement. Doesn't seem dated anymore as 05 did. Seats are more comfortable. Steering column and seat placement make for good(better) driving posture. We have two Britax in the back and plenty of leg room for driver, passenger and two boys to kick the seats. I'm very satisfied.

2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland, 5.7 Hemi

UPDATE 8-7-2019. Odometer just rolled over 224K... no significant issues. Muffler replaced at 220K, HID front light bulb replacement, new battery (alt tested and working within specs). Gas mileage as noted below. Oil consumption is 1 qt / 2K miles... not bad considering i run the HEMI hard sometimes. Did some real off roading last spring and the Quadra Drive 2 system worked flawlessly... this truck can keep up with any Rubicon!! I continue to recommend this Jeep. I purchased this car in Feb 2018 as the 2nd owner with 195,000 miles. Previous owner drove the car nearly 20K/ year and obviously garaged the car for the majority of its life. Prior to taking delivery the car required rear end work which was included within my purchase price and the car needed a new cat and o2 sensors. I also was able to negotiate 16 new spark plugs and new brake pads all around. My purchase price including the work listed, $5,500. I like this truck a lot, the HEMI has amazing power but that comes at a price at the pump... be warned you aren't buying an economy car as i'm averaging 14 city / 18 highway. But... this truck moves! Tight suspension, smooth transmission, and the engine runs perfectly. Chaise is rock solid with no rust or noticeable wear. Being in the mid-west the winters must have been brutal on this truck considering the miles driven. This Jeep was a bargain. I'm not fooling myself, i expect to have problems as the car's now has 208K, but i paid very little for a nice looking solid truck and as with every Jeep i have owned 200K is just warmed up. i highly recommend this model year Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Overland with the HEMI is a great upgrade if you are looking to save money and want a rugged on-road and off-road SUV.

I looked at many other SUV's, but keep coming back to Jeep. I have owned 4 others and love the new design. It is fun to drive and the comfort is great. It looks good coming and going and for the price it was a wise decision. There are many mopar accessories you can buy (which I have already) to make the exterior even better.

Got rid of my 2006 Infiniti M45 Sport, (definitely not a Minnesota winter car) for SRT Jeep. Lots of fun to drive, even in the winter. Awesome acceleration, turns heads!
