The vehicle is of very good build quality. Since purchasing it, I have driven approximately 95,000 miles and it still drives like a much younger vehicle. The interior set up is the typical Chrysler family set up, with knobs for climate control and push button radio and clock controls. It includes a U-Connect system that allows you to use your cellphone via Bluetooth, but this is only included on certain models, so it is not a true "hands free" cellular usage environment. U-connect is not a pay service like satellite radio, so if your vehicle is not equipped with it, you cannot pay and have it turned on, you'd have to go to a dealer to potentially have it installed. The vehicle is a 4x4 with automatic shifting -- you don't have to choose if you want to be in Hi or Lo, which allows you to focus on driving. The 2009 model is a departure from the previous years of AWD in the Grand Cherokee Laredo. Seats are comfortable with logical placement of cup holders, center consoles, etc. Back seats have a 60/40 split, allowing for easy expansion of the already generous cargo space. Ride is comfortable, and gas mileage 7 years in is hovering around 19 mpg city/24 mpg highway. It's a quiet, pleasant and stylish ride, but you definitely know you're rock solid and can handle anything the road throws at you.

Overall, I am very pleased with my vehicle; it saves me money on gas compared to other SUVs and still allows me to be able to do the things most need a truck to do. Living in a winter climate, this vehicle makes it easy to get places even in a snowstorm. The car has a very nice interior and exterior design. However, I have had some issues with maintenance on the vehicle recently.
