Buying a 2000 Grand Cherokee Limited 12 years ago was a great choice. 220k miles later, it's still on the road with minimal mechanical issues. Sure, it has its quirks and wear and tear, but it's left me stranded twice in 12 years with minimal maintenance. I was in a significant car accident in it as well and damage was minimal. Cars are not investments, and I believe should be seen as expenses... except for my Jeep.

The is my second Jeep owned. My first one I was a bit disappointed with because it seemed so top heavy, bumpy, and like it wasn't all that stable around turns. The comfort in this model however has been revamped, and I don't notice any of those issues anymore. I was also surprised just how much came on the base model alone. I've been very happy with this car. I would also say that the gas mileage has been the best it's ever been. It was averaging maybe 14 before, and my new one is up to about 19 most of the time.
