  Best in Class! - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Dale D. - December 28 - 3:06 pm

  This vehicle is just the right size. Spectacular engine. Looks great. I took if off road last week and it really impressed me! The only complaint I have is for a few more inches of leg room in the back (Im 62"). But I would not want the Grand Cherokee to be any bigger, so I cant complain. Interior is very nice. Sound system is incredible! Love everything about it ... I also test drove a Toyota 4Runner because my buddy is a salesmen at a local dealership. Eeven with a money hookup it was a waste of time. It is a wannabe Jeep and does not come close. I am very pleased with my Jeep!

  So Much Better - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By vtwin17 - September 25 - 4:06 pm

  I bought this Jeep in Sept. The only problem that I had was that the passenger side window had a mind of its own when going up, dealer fixed at oil change. Mileage has been at a low of 14.9 to 22.5. Vehicle is quiet and has enough power for the everyday driver.

  Awesome SUV - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By gaffrey - August 18 - 4:33 am

  I purchased this Jeep, never owning an SUV before. It runs great, has been incredibly reliable, and I havent had any issues with it. Im surprised at how great of a car it has been. The only thing, as with all suvs, is the gas mileage. Its good for an SUV, but its not a Honda Civic. Overall it has been a great vehicle.

  The Good Jeep. - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By ziggy - March 29 - 7:53 am

  THIS is the third Jeep for me. I like it. No problems with the other two, both had the 4.7 liter V8. This one has the 5.7 liter V8. I have about 200 miles on it. Im averaging about 14.7 miles per gallon. The ride is a lot better, the inside looks better. In all a great Jeep.

  Great Car! - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By owensry - February 21 - 6:33 pm

  I just purchased my Jeep and i have nothing to complain about. I love everything about it, and all you people complaining about fuel mileage need to get the 4X2, way better on fuel, and handles great in snowy conditions.

  By Mike - January 16 - 11:43 pm

  I have been very very happy with my purchase so far. I do not drive all that much but it has been an excellent vehicle. I consistently get 20 mpg hwy and about 17 city. No mechanical problems to report as of yet. This is our 4th jeep and have been really happy.

  The Fun Stuff - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Joseph - January 12 - 1:53 am

  I had a hard time moving from my beloved Ford SVT to the SRT camp. I would do it all over again. I have a 2002 Lightning and the Jeep SRT8 if so much better in so many ways. I was stunned by the handling and the sheer acceleration. This thing pulls like a freight train and can handle curves like a high end sports car. The size is just right to handle myself, my spouse and our two kids on a road trip. Plenty of room for those things you need for a long weekend trip; bags, stroller, etc. My kids also love the rear seat entertainment system and the sound system rocks. This vehicle is stable at all speeds.

  Well Worth it! - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By kolis1 - December 19 - 9:43 pm

  Recently leased the 5.7L Hemi with great hesitation - THE GAS! Come to think of it, the difference between this SUV and every other on is 2-4mile/g. As far as comparison, i drove the Xterra, RX350, and the XC90. Hands down this car has more power, smoother ride, quiet inside, lots of gadgets to play with, but hidden if youre not into it. With all the bad rep that American auto customer service has got, Ive had a Liberty for 3 years, and theyve taken care of me well.

  Love my Grand Cherokee - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Rhett - November 17 - 2:03 pm

  So far I love my Laredo. I do miss a few things in my old car (different make) but so far I love my Jeep. Ive heard a few bad things about the GC but Im crossing my fingers that nothing bad (tranny, etc.) will go bad.
