  Best car ever - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By lee amaral - July 22 - 4:33 am

  This car has all the features you could possibly want. It is good looking, comfortable, and handles and rides very well. Instruments are all right there in front of you. Power terrific. Transmission with + and - is very handy in the mountains whether going up or downhill.

  Great SUV! - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By American Cars! - July 21 - 2:26 am

  Our new Jeep Grand Cherokee has been a wonderful car so far. The driving experience is a lot of fun. I cannot wait to drive it in the snow, because I know it will do great. This is my first Jeep so far, and I love it a lot.

  High Performance SUV - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Dan - July 10 - 10:46 pm

  Mine is the 5.7L Hemi Limited model, and I love it. VERY quick! The combination of Quadra-Drive II, stability control, traction control, and 4-wheel disc brakes with ABS is great ... it always goes exactly where I point it, with no drama at all. Interior is very comfortable and looks great. Lots of useful feature that dont get in the way of driving and give you the option of using them or not (automatic headlights, rain-sense wipers, automatic climate control). Smaller cargo area than some other mid- size SUVs, but its plenty large enough for my use. Overall a great high performance SUV that has the hardware and technology to make driving on and off road a pleasure.

  MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THE 05 - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By unhappy jeep girl - July 9 - 10:10 pm

  I bought the car in 06 with 23K miles on it. By 45K miles, I had to replace the transmission. At 60K I had to replace the starter, alternator, brake pads, rotors, and transmission again. 2 weeks later, the drive shaft and casings were all replaced. Now, at 75K I am looking to replace the drive shaft again and possibly a wheel baring. The service manager at a dealership told me that starting in 05 Jeep started "turning and burning them!" Doesnt exactly make you feel good about your purchase!!! Be very careful when buying a Jeep from 05 and on!

  Good boy/ Bad Boy - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Think Snow - July 8 - 3:50 am

  Still a Jeep. This Jeep is absolutely awesome driving on mountain passes at night. At 30 below zero the heated seats are a real treat. The front seats are very very hard.They HURT after an hour drive. No arm rests - what were they thinking at Jeep. The back seats do not fit car seats for children; they are too up right and when your child falls asleep they slump forward and hang on the child seat straps.

  Not as good as I hoped for - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Michaelsn - July 5 - 5:40 am

  Serious malfunction of brakes after 67 miles. Continuous problem of transmission short shifting in and out of 1st gear. Gas mileage lower than advertised. Styling and interior room good. Poor pickup for quick acceleration. Last Jeep we buy.

  Jeep is moving on up!! - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Wayne Daughtridge - June 12 - 2:20 am

  I have owned several jeeps over the years both Wranglers and Grand Cherokee. My GC has the 4.7 V8 motor, and I tow a 22 foot boat back and forth to the coast several times a year about 4 hours each way. I also pull a motorcyle trailer all over the southeast. My fuel mileage is just as good as the F250 Diesels. I average 13 to 14 miles per gallon. The jeep is strong and reliable even with 65,000 miles logged in.

  Just about everything I hoped it would be. It is what every sixty-something should drive both on and off road.

  2005 Jeep GC with 5.7 - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By stoppy3 - June 5 - 9:01 am

  Worst automobile I have ever owned. So many problems ranging from axle isolators (second repair)to interior parts such as door panels (all of them) breaking, vent tabs falling off, nav system inoperative (2nd unit), window switches inop on driver door, front driveshaft replaced, brake calipers froze up, Try replacing a starter as you will need to grow two additional hands to help. Cant say much good about this automobile. Even the resale value stinks.
