We bought this 2016 Limited - 75th Anniv edition with 80,000 miles, but all of them were highway driving and the price was reduced accordingly, making it possible to get a much nicer vehicle than the older Grand Cherokees we had been looking at. We sought out the 5.7L Hemi V8, as the V6 didn't really make us happy. We found that the V6 had "adequate" acceleration, but that was the best we could say. It had to work hard to get up to speed quickly, and was very noisy under full throttle. The V8 gets there faster, has great passing power, and for a rating of 3 MPG difference, we immediately dismissed the V6 and only looked at V8 models. We're delighted we did that. This is a very comfortable road vehicle, and we especially like the stable, low vibration ride and road feel due to the Mercedes-designed chassis. The controls and large touch screen work nicely, and the physical knobs on the controls are a nice addition. USB ports are thoughtfully placed on the front console and the end of the center console. The paddle shifters on the steering wheel are extremely easy to use, and their logic of operation is excellent. I actually like their setup and operation better than the functions on my wife's 2009 BMW 3-series! Three things remind us this isn't really a sporty or driver's car, it's a utility vehicle: first, the seats are pretty flat and there is a slight tendency to slide around rather than feeling well located in the seat. 250-pound guys will like it, but I miss the seats in my BMW 3-series (probably an unfair comparison.) Second, the gas pedal is a couple of inches closer to the driver than the other pedals, resulting in a slightly awkward "pulled back" angle for the driver's right leg. This becomes noticeable on longer drives, and there should be a "dead pedal" for the left foot so the driver can adjust the driving position to match. Third, the electrically boosted power steering conveys practically no road feel at all, and it's over-boosted and too easy to turn. Putting the Jeep into Sport Mode increases steering effort slightly, and that's what the normal steering feel should be like. I use Sport Mode in town because it provides faster throttle response and better engine braking, but on the road it would penalize gas mileage. I know that most drivers won't be bothered by these things, and the Jeep is so well made and solid that the overall comfort and driving experience is truly enjoyable. We've had no maintenance or repair issues yet, but all cars require periodic work, and we're not worried about it. The critical factors in a vehicle like this are the engine and drivetrain, and the Jeep's engine, transmission and drive axles are among the most robust in the world. We're looking forward to many years of Jeeping, as our last Grand Cherokee ran like a watch at 188,000 miles when we sold it. Update a year later: the GC has run faultlessly, and we've found that highway and freeway driving at 75-80 MPH can yield 24 MPG, which is excellent for a vehicle of this size. We love the Hemi's grunt when we need acceleration (or even when we don't, and just do it for fun.) The high gas pedal still bugs me, so I use cruise control whenever possible on road trips, as it's much more comfortable than holding my right leg in position for the high pedal. I have used the voice controls in the car, and they work reasonably well. We found that if you sync two cell phones to it, you have to designate a primary; if you get an incoming call on the secondary phone when both are in the car, it won't auto-connect and you need to answer the phone manually, without using the car's speakers and mic. I haven't paid for the Uconnect app functions, so I'm not using it. After you buy their car, they ought to provide app functionality at no additional charge. But overall, we really enjoy the GC and use it more than we thought. It turns out to be the perfect vehicle for 5-passenger trips, cargo hauling, or night trips when we want more elevation above other vehicle lights for our 60+ year old eyes. Update after 18 months: the Jeep is now at 100,500 miles and performs flawlessly. Highway driving at up to 80 MPH is usually around 23 MPG, although town driving is more like 16 (no surprise.) We have had no repairs at all. I'm getting ready to have all the driveline fluids replaced along with spark plugs since we just crossed 100K miles. The Grand Cherokee is really a do-everything vehicle, as it handles highway travel well, carries loads and can navigate any weather.

Haven't had it for long,,about a month. But so far so good,, one of the only faults I have that I didn't know before buying was that it didn't have the 4x4 button to lock it in.
