  • 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4.7L 4X4 - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Love my Jeep. Bought it used August 2011 and have had nothing but good from it so far. Everything worked when i got it, only thing that doesnt now is my rear park assist system, for some reason when i put her in reverse, all the red lights show up and it beeps, but thats it no big deal, cheap fix. Looks great, mean on the road ;) Great four wheel drive system, but thats expected from Jeep. Some people complain about the hard surfaced interior in areas but i love it because its durable and not cheap. My only complaint is wheres the snow? I live in Minnesota and its been a weak winter, hardly any snow. Thats the main reason i got this beast.

    I traded in my 1998 Range Rover for my 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited w/5.7 Hemi. Ill never go back to a Land Rover brand vehicle.

    The vehicle is fun to drive and is excellent in snow. The 5.7 engine is awesome and power is always there when needed. This is my first Jeep and will not be the last. I have recommended Jeep to my friends looking for a new car. Of all the other SUVs on the market, I found the Jeep to be the best.

    Very dependable and reliable vehicle with a lot of comfort. Made very well only needs a little improvement. Would recommend it to everyone for purchase. The pricing and service is excellent. Not much else to say except if you need a vehicle Jeep is the way to go. Dollar for dollar you receive a good quality product for your investment and it is money well spent. With this vehicle you have peace of mind for safety security knowing this vehicle is a fine SUV.

  • Fine Choice - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee

    This is my first Jeep so I cant compare to past models; however this is my 3rd SUV and so far its been great. The technology in this vehicle is current, not outdated leftovers; the build feel in tight and responsive. The 5.7 Hemi...well lets just say youll never understand it without test driving this vehicle. Great looks and a great driver. Goes anywhere when needed. This is the most complete vehicle Ive ever owned. Had an 04 VW Touareg that was also a fine SUV except the reliability was terrible.

    Except for having a rear view mirror in my view, i dont have any complaints. Ive driven mine into a ditch on the interstate, off-road, very off-road, on gravel, and its a great ride and Ive never broken anything on it. Built like a tank. GET ONE!

    I love this Jeep and the Hemi thats under the hood. It is a big improvement over my 2001 Laredo, the Boston Sound System is awesome and the ride is smooth. The fuel economy could be better but I figured it would be poor with the Hemi. The Auto Climate Control keeps the vehicle comfortable. My kids love the rear entertainment system. Overall a great buy and the build quality is better than the past. My 4th and best Jeep.

    The fit and finish of this Jeep is remarkable. I thought I would not spend this type of money on a Jeep but this Jeep was worth it! I never thought that a Jeep could ride like a luxury car. Power delivery is so smooth that you must keep an eye on the speedometer in order to stay within the speed limit. If I had the extra funds, I would buy a second one.

  • So Far.. So Good.. - 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Overall a very nice SUV. 3500 miles so far and no problems or issues. Good power and sweeet sound from the 4.7 V8. Very nice daily driver if you dont mind pulling up to the gas pump a bit more often. Very linear steering tracking, no wander or stray. Brakes are strong and progressive. Fairly low wind noise even with large side mirrors. Much nicer ride/drive/handling than previous GC, though can be a bit floaty over certain bumps. Excellent headlight throw and pattern at night, both low/high beam. People compliment the new style. Seats firm yet comfortable once you get settled in. Controls laid out well, easy to see/reach. Nice optional sound system.
