This was a used car purchase that we made when on vacation and needed a vehicle to return home. We had been looking at Jeeps for some time, but had not decided to actually buy one until we were sort of in a clutch. The main reason we chose this vehicle over the other SUVs available is the interior passenger room. There is ample room inside for large humans and plenty of cargo space. A 6'7" male weighing in at 300 pounds can sit comfortably in the driver seat and although no one can sit behind him, there is room for cargo there. However, it appears to be a base model and there aren't many amenities included in the package we ended up with.

I like how this vehicle looks. It has a commanding look and is an attention-getting vehicle. It also has a fold-down third row, which is good for when several people have to travel together. It should be noted, however, that the third row, when being used, is only really good for small passengers. It would be difficult for a large adult to ride comfortably in the third row, especially for a long distance. I also like that you can fold down both the third row and middle seating in order to move items from place to place. The second row is functional but is not as comfortable or roomy as many other vehicles. Front seats are comfortable and are heated, which is nice. This vehicle also has a navigation system , though it is not nearly as advanced as newer GPS systems. For example, it does not have a touch screen. I don't see any real problems with exterior build quality. The vehicle has a bulky "safe" feel to it. Despite this , it also has good turning radius and feels easily maneuverable even though it is large. As a short person ( I am 5 foot , 2 inches), I am comfortable in this vehicle. I can see well and it is not too big to get in and out of easily. Although I like many aspects, I am very unhappy with the cost of keeping this vehicle running. It is a gas guzzler. It also has had multiple issues with air conditioning that have cost us a lot of money, not to mention the transmission blowing and power steering going at the same time.
