Very pleased with the vehicle. Spacious and smooth. My only complaint is that the roof bars are poorly designed to optimize space.

I have owned the Jeep GC Overland, 5.7L, for more than 10 years now. It’s been great. No major issues. It’s both luxurious and sporty and will go anywhere. The only negative thing I can say about it is that the leather on the dashboard has recently started to separate from the dash.

My husband purchased this car earlier this year and we are so pleased with the updated design of the Grand Cherokee. Comfortable, runs smoothly, great family car, and the overall value is great in comparison with other luxury cars.

My 2012 Overland 3.6 - Needy, yet likable

Bought a rough specimen in need of some love with 178k miles on it. In the first 11 months I have put $2k Wirth of work into with a ac condenser and radiator replacement after both started leaking, among other little things here and there, and I've put 22k miles on it, driven it to Maine and back (from NC) with no issues, taken it on a beach, camped in it... It's offering me and my family a lot of great experiences that I feel like has been great ROI so far. For its size, the amenities, and the driving experience, I feel like it is the most bang for your buck in the used car market at the moment. There are a lot of them so prices have to be competitive, and as long as you find one that has been well taken care of (make sure transmission, transfer cases, and diffs have been serviced and cared for) then you can get a great car for a great price. I'm about to hit 200K miles which is nerve racking but the car is running so smoothly that I really have nothing to worry about. I love that I can take it on rough dirt roads when camping and drive it on the beach during my family beach trips - owning a Jeep is broadening my horizons, which is what I was hoping for. So far, I am pleased with the vehicle despite the high mileage and immediate repairs it needed when I purchased it. I've saved money DIYing and troubleshooting some issues myself, and I would be a lot more hesitant to own a 200k mile Chrysler product if I had zero mechanical abilities and had to take it to a shop every single time something happened. All that being said, it's an impressive car for its age, extremely off-road capable, great size for my small family, and comfortable as a daily driver.
