Well I have been pretty pleased being a jeep grand cherokee owner for the past years and my jeep is still running strong. It has a little over 200,000 miles and has not needed in major or very costly repairs since I have owned my 1997 jeep grand cherokee. It goes through the snow without much effort or struggle and it gets me out of some sticky situations sometimes, such as when I get stuck on the mud I just put it in 4 wheel drive and gets unstuck out of the mud without much effort. I just wished that it would get better gas mileage though. It has enough cargo space to haul some thinks that would not fit I a car. I like also that it came with a trailer hitch, just in case I ever need to hook up a trailer. The interior doesn't look cheap and has comfortable seats. I usually feel safe driving it, because it's size, which provides some security and it is easy to drive to be kind of a large vehicle. All in all I would recommend to anyone who is looking to buy an suv to buy a jeep grand cherokee, because they last such a long time and are reliable vehicles.

I've owned several jeeps over the past 15 years, and this one has been my favorite. We have 4 dogs, a pit, 2 pit mixes, and a Great Dane, and they all fit in the back whenever my wife and I take them to the lake. It's way better on gas then my 97 Grand Cherokee and it's even better on gas than my wife's 2011 Mariner. I've taken it on the beach on numerous occasions and I haven't had any issues. I've also taken it on several trips 400+ miles and there's been no huge issues. The biggest issue I've had was replacing the O2 sensor. It's gone out twice, but once you replace it the first time, it's a breeze. It has over 175,000 miles on it and it runs almost as good as it did when I first got it at 65,000 miles. One other negative is the A/C fan, it's fresh in my mind since it's happening right now, but the fan has been blowing less and less over the past year. It may just be my car, so not really a knock on the entire model. Everything in the car is easily accessible, so doing repairs on it is easy for the average Joe.
