Best SUV I've ever owned

I have owned mostly smaller SUVs in the past including Honda CRV, 3 Subaru Outbacks and most recently Jeep Renegade. I finally made a leap to the mid SUV segment and got a 2017 Jeep GC Limited.. What a difference. For a bigger SUV, it drives smooth, very quiet and it is totally not a gas guzzler as I initially worried about. In fact for the power of the engine I was getting 24-25 during the summer time and about 21-22 in our winter so far. Interior is clean and upscale looking better than the Toyota Highlanders and Honda Pilot. I am very impressed with the Jeep Grand Cherokee. It's value at all levels.

2017 Model was tweaked to make it look very up to date both inside and out. Quality of materials is excellent. I previously had a good-handling sedan so am used to a more precise handling vehicle but am getting used to the Jeep. Acceleration is adequate. It's not a racer. Handling is good. The cabin is fairly quiet. The infotainment interface and power ports are much better than what I had on my GM car. Cargo capacity is quite good. Climate controls are easy to use and the heater warms up quite quickly. My wife thinks I'm nuts for buying a rugged SUV to commute to a train station but I like the rugged look and can't wait until the first snowfall here in Eastern PA.

I'M NOT KIDDING.. '17 JEEP ENGINE SHUTS ITSELF OFF

I owned my first grand cherokee for 17 years. When I decided it was time for a new vehicle I looked at all the different 2017 SUV's and cross overs on the market and decided that for me, Jeep was still the way to go. My priorities were, comfort, style, towing capability, storage capacity, and a luxurious interior with great sound (if you get the 600 watt sub woofer option). The jeep came the closest to meeting all of these for under $50k. I took my first 1,500 mile trip last week and was very pleased with all the above mentioned (other than I haven’t towed a trailer yet). HOWEVER..... The 3.6L ESS engine (ESS stands for electronic stop/start) is designed to SHUT OFF EVERY TIME YOU COME TO A COMPLETE STOP LASTING MORE THAN A FEW SECONDS. ). It does start back up when you release the brake but only after a noticeable delay. This is to save a few drops of gas, but think about this the next time you’re inching along in traffic, waiting in line for a hamburger, or wanting to make a quick right hand turn at a red light. Also keep in mind that when your engine shuts off so does the heating and cooling. (the sales guys will try to give you all kinds of BS about this major design screw up and will tell you that you can turn it off, BUT you have to turn it off EVERY time you start your Jeep) Now the GOOD NEWS. there is a solution on the internet that just takes 3 seconds to plug in your maintenance port and allows YOU to decide if and when you ever want to use this extremely annoying feature (I did drive the first 500 miles with the ESS feature enabled and it was very annoying to both me and my wife). I would not of purchased a jeep if I hadn’t of already found a great solution to overcome this design flaw at http://www.smartstopstart.com/ . NOTE: Jeep is not the only manufacturer that uses this dumb stop/start idea so educate yourself before you purchase any car.... 2018 will be even worse. I love just about everything about my new 2017 GC jeep, but would NEVER recommend it to anyone without the smart stop/start module. ($125)

I love the look, the power, the transmission, the luxury ride. This was my second Grand Cherokee after having a few 4-Runners and the ride comfort can't compare. The negative - skip the navigation package upgrade, the voice activated system has never worked in either of the last two cars. I repeat NEVER. Use google maps on your phone, it will be a lot less aggravating. The last one i owned came with Michelin Premier LTX tires - DO NOT BUY a car new with these. Have the dealer switch them before you agree to purchase the vehicle. They might as well be made of butter that is how quickly they wear out. They are a 60k tire that won't get 30k before not passing inspection. (read the reviews online - nobody gets past 30k) After talking to others who had the same problem with lease turn-ins, i believe it's simply a money making ploy by Chrysler Capital. If you are leasing I would recommend finding someone else to do the financing. Speaking of tires, if you live in a northern climate the GC is only as good in the snow as the tires since the ground clearance isn't overly impressive. With a 4-runner I could get through the end of the driveway regardless of how high the snow was plowed in, but with the GC i needed to snow blow it out first. With the exception of these two items it was a great vehicle though.
