Default Jeep Grand Cherokee

What do you guys think of this vehicle? Anyone got one? I'm test driving one later in the week with a view to buy.

I'm not one to bother with fuel consumption, bigger the engine the better.

I'll also just take the hit on tax.

So apart from that what do you think?

i appreciate your knowledge

I can't really this car would be to share between me and the wife. If i got another sports car the S2000 would have to go.

I nearly bought the old shape Jeep SRT for the missus but decided the suspension and drive train was waaaaaaaaaay out of date
The early new version (MY12/13) is better but retains the same crap box
The MY14 on cars have the merc auto in them and it makes a BIG difference
The infotainment system is getting some great reviews as well
They will depreciate like hell, but if you go in to it knowing that, go for it!
I've considered one against the old shape RRS and a Cayenne

Can you buy a red one with the full length sun roof and I'll buy it from you when you are done!

Please report back on the test drive!

Have a read of this;

I like Maloo's as well but they make the S2000 feel like a 4x4, the back end has a mind of its own!
