Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.7 V8 Limited 5d Auto (5) (2001/51) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

Economy
Value
As a brand new car its not great, I think there are better similar cars you can buy with £30,000. As a second hand car there is nothing that gets close. Fantastic value for money for a 2-4 year old car, better value and more reliable than an M-Class or RR
Costs
Fuel is only really affordable if converted to LPG, costs the same to run as my last car, a 2.0 Saab.

Driving
It's no good round the bends, though you bought the wrong type car if you think you can throw it round corners.
Performance
V8 is the one to go for, not as fast as an X5 but it really does growl and pull pretty hard, though you can often feel the weight of the car going up hills, plenty fast enough though.

Living with it
Reliability
A few problems but all covered under warranty. New alternator, new radio signal booster.
Image
I feel great driving it.
Comfort
Comes with everything, seats are lovely and soft and its pretty quiet at speed with only some diff noise. Seats could hold you in a little better round the corners and headrests sit too far from your head.
