I absolutely love this Cherokee. I love the interior color and design. It has a media center the kids adore. This truck is perfect for the family on long road trips or just for basic driving. I love taking my kids to the boxing gym in this SUV. It has a lot of room so I sometimes carpool my friend's kids to the gym as well. The 8 speed transmission is a big help and I have no problem in transitioning between gears. At times I feel like I'm driving a luxury vehicle until I remember it's a Jeep. IF I had to choose one con, it would be the electronic shifter, it just does not feel right. I dislike the gas mileage, it is terrible but it is what you get into when you buy an SUV. The price was a bit too much but I needed a SUV for the kids and this in my opinion is the best option, and I don't regret it one bit. Every second I've had it on the road so far has been an amazing experience. The kids call it "the monster" and get excited every time we have to go on the road. That makes it worth every penny. It makes us all feel safe and me in control at all times, that's all that matters.
