I bought the vehicle during what was called "Cash for Clunkers", trading in my 1991 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo for nearly 6X its actual value. This was the most economical purchase based on the value of my Jeep, the cost difference I'd have remaining, and the warranty on the vehicle. I was not thinking at the time about the major differences in size, weight, and how it would handle winters in the Midwest or the future trade-in values on the vehicle.

I knew my car was the one for me from the first test drive. I drive 80 miles a day on the highway and know that I can always rely on this vehicle.
