"I've been looking at SUV's for months, including the MDX, Q7, X5, ML, GL, JX35, Land Rover, and Range Rover. These 'luxury' vehicles range from $50-90K with most averaging $65-75K once loaded with options. I've been a biased import buyer for years after getting burned by American car quality too many times. but the reality is, my other cars have had issues as well, and I wouldn't dare own one out of warranty. So I started thinking, why not save a few bucks and see what domestic brands have to offer? I looked at the Explorer. Nice feature set, but the smell of plastic and fit & finish were a big turnoff for me. Since I was looking at the X5 and Rovers etc... my expectations were pretty high. Then I started looking at the 2014 Grand Cherokee. Online it looked like the car had everything. Loaded out this had more tech, off-road, engine, and luxury options than any of the other makes, and for thousands less. So, I went to the dealer and checked it out. After driving the Overland I was a bit underwhelmed, but then sat in the Summit. Wow! 'Suede' headliner, rich leather everywhere, upgraded wood, killer stereo, panorama roof, and on and on. This car has a Rover feel for $10K less than Acura, $20K less than BMW, and a whopping $40K less than Range Rover. It may not have the 'luxury' badge but it delivers the goods. As far as quality...my BMW had plenty of issues and even my Acura had the drivetrain replaced at 57K miles! No car is bulletproof, so just hoping the Jeep holds up to my other experiences. So far so good!"

"Chrysler hit a home run with this vehicle. We test drove several vehicles priced higher and this Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited is one of the best vehicles that we've driven or owned. We love it! Do yourself a favor if you're in the market; at the very least, test drive one....you'll see. Highly recommended!"

"In the Rockies of Montana, we needed a car that was comfortable yet rugged, and completely reliable. Our 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland Summit excels in all of these categories. This was our first Jeep, and we thought it might drive like one of the more off-road versions. To the contrary, it performs quietly and smoothly, with the adjustable air suspension adding to the comfort of long-distance road trips. The saddle leather interior is absolutely gorgeous, with everything clearly laid out and accessible on the instrument panel. The overall fit and finish are extremely impressive. The car feels tight and solid at all times. We have recommended this car to friends on several occasions."
