The Jeep Grand Cherokee offers luxury and ruggedness all in one. This has been the perfect "soccer mom" vehicle. It holds up against the young kids test including muddy shoes, school backpacks, and snow gear. No damage or signs of wear. I have the leather seats which make it easy for wiping up spills and "oopsies" from children and adults alike. It had ample room in the cargo bay for groceries, sports and camping. I love the stylish interior and the feature loaded XM radio with navigation, Bluetooth and Pandora.

My experience with Jeep models has always been excellent. Despite poor to average reviews in Consumer Reports, I have be been satisfied with all aspects of build, comfort, accessories, and appearance, The clearance on the vehicle is not as high as my 2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport so use on trail roads and pastures is not as easy, however it handles steep inclines and potholes easily. I was originally unhappy that it is not possible to turn off the radio (it is ALWAYS on). However, I have gotten used to hitting the mute button or, alternatively, keeping the sound turned completely down. Another feature that is different, but acceptable, is that there is not CD player. Music or other media must be loaded to a device, thumb-drive, or storage card to be played. All these points are minor compared of the ease of driving and the comfort for driver and passenger. There are ample storage compartments and winter use is made comfortable by a heating steering wheel and seats. I especially like the color that was in stock at the time of purchase. It is called eco-green, reminiscent of an old jeep color and quite distinctive.
