This is an overall great vehicle to own. It has withstood many long trips throughout the years and has not had any major mechanical problems. As any other vehicle, with time, we have had to replace some parts and components that have worn out due to normal use. However, with the regular maintenance and scheduled oil changes, everything has always worked perfectly. It is a vehicle I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a comfortable ride that can tackle difficult tasks and still be efficient and look good. It is comfortable for a small family. We are a family of four and have not had any problem feeling comfortable with it. But, we are thinking about upgrading to a larger vehicle only because we frequently have out of town family visiting and, at that point, space does become an issue since we cannot fit more passengers in it. If it weren't for that, we would definitely look at a newer model for the upgrade because of how good this one has worked for us. It is definitely one of the best vehicles I have ever owned and would not hesitate to recommend it.

Overall, I have loved my 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. I bought it when it was one year old and had 14,000 miles. Now in 2017, I have just under 100,000 miles on it (I don't drive a ton. A few cross-country trips but mainly to work and back), and it is still going strong. I plan on driving this for a long time (until it breaks), as it is currently paid off. However, I love it so much that I plan on continuing to purchase Jeeps as long as I am driving. My next car will be a Jeep Wrangler.
