Jeep is dealing

I was angry when they stopped making the Cherokee. I loved my '98. I thought that I could not afford a JGC and at $35K, I was right. But Jeep is hurting. You can get a $35K JGC for as little as $21K. I couldn't refuse. And this is the best made Jeep yet. Go to your dealer and "steal".

This is my 2nd Jeep GC.. had a 04 GC Ltd and loved it. This vehicle is definitely heavier and I felt the Hemi would help. It's got all the power and luxury I wanted plus the upgraded touch screen nav (I had the old one on my 04), Haven't actually used the myGIG feature yet. Love the looks, fun to drive. Gas mileage sucks but that's the trade off. Good pricing for all the features of a luxury vehicle.

What's the Caddy commercial say about returning the favor? Yes! My JGC definitely returns the favor! Nice ride, fun to drive and the 4.7L has great pick-up. Haven't tried the E85 yet - so can't comment on performance/mileage there. Now that gas prices are down - my purchasing a V8 in June when gas was near $4 doesn't look so stupid. How are people complaining about gas mileage in these reviews? You saw what the EPA estimates were when you bought it - as long as you're not getting worse mileage than EPA estimates, how can you rate gas mileage as poor? I'm consistently getting a couple of more mpg in comparison to EPA estimates. Got 21mpg on 600 mile highway trip recently.

The JGC is more than I expected from an American made vehicle. Standard features include all that one would expect from a high priced luxury vehicle. The leather upgrade package and all that it includes was worth the extra money. If you like the bells and whistles, you will love the 2008 Jeep.

Check the transmission and for water leaks through the sunroof drains. I haven't had any major issues with the Jeep. All the maintenance has been kept up to date and I think that makes a huge difference. The gas mileage is not great. I average 18.8 mixed city and hwy but mostly city. Its not horrible but nothing great. The truck interior looks great to me. I love the stereo. The infotainment works great. The steering feels great. I think it rides pretty well on the hwy and is just the right size to whip around. Plenty of storage space especially when you drop the back seats. It has plenty of power but you have to floor it to get into it as the transmission will hold you back. I drive in TOW mode when I am in a hurry. I put about 15k miles on this before I traded it in on an SRT. I honestly wish I’d have kept it.
