  Amazing - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By srt8fan - July 30 - 2:30 pm

  This is a really great car, ive never had any problems that the other people wrote about. Its not great on gas but what would you expect with the engine, no less its my daily driver. Every time i get into my car somewhere people come up to me and ask me questions, its pretty awesome it gets so much attention yet still a jeep. I dont miss any of my past cars until owning this. I use it everyday for to and from work and it never gives me a problem. i guess i lucked out like everyone has had something go wrong, i probably would have had a problem by now since it already has 66k.

  I Get it Now! - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By gmacgreg - July 30 - 8:46 am

  Jeep owners have long enjoyed a special relationship with their vehicles. Unless and until you own one its hard to imagine getting excited over a car, especially if you dont consider yourself a "car person." At the urging of my wife, I decided to give an SUV a try. I couldnt be any happier; JEEP has definitely got it going. The comfort level is excellent on short or long drives. The rigid ride takes some getting use to, but only adds to the overall experience. Navigation is a bit clunky, but well worth it. I was amazed at the performance of the 4WD and put it to the test with back to back 24" snow falls; childs play. 21 MPG hwy, not bad. Reliable, zero problems. JEEP. I Get it Now!

  Good so far - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Satisfied - May 11 - 2:30 am

  Traded my mustang GT in on a 2007 Patriot Limited, many regrets there. Traded the Patriot in on a used 2006 Laredo and I love the ride and styling of this vehicle. I keep praying for snow! I have had it just over a month and the lights in the temperature control went out-thank god for the certified warranty or else Id have to take out a second mortgage to pay for it. I can only hope all repairs arent as costly as that would have been.

  Over The Top Overland - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Todd Seif - May 8 - 1:03 am

  Owned my new Overland Hemi now for almost 3 months and what a fine ride! Love that Hemi muscle and big brakes! This SUV has all the toys and a bargain price. Great handling and so quiet. I drove the BMW , M-B, Lexus and VW Suvs and this is as good as all but the Touareg at $20k less!! Now if only my Jeep dealer had been to Lexus customer service school.

  Better ride - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Marilyn - April 17 - 1:46 pm

  This my 4th Jeep Grand Cherokee. I find the ride much smoother. The steering appears to be easier to handle. I think the back seat leg room should be widened by moving the back seats back so that a taller person has more leg room, especially if front seats are moved back. Glad to see the emergency brakes are now on drivers side instead of passenger side. Overall I am happier with this 2006 than my 2002 Jeep, hope I still feel this way by this time next year.

  Not bad but definitely not Honda quality - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Jordan - March 24 - 10:30 pm

  With the V8 this vehicle is a pretty decent overall package. Its definitely much more refined than past JGCs, however it would be ideal if it had a smooth revving multi-valve engine. Good ride, good sight lines, just wish the build quality was better. I most likely will not buy another JGC as there are better available SUVs especially from the Japanese brands.

  So far, So good - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Bill Sandlin - January 27 - 6:20 pm

  This is my first Jeep purchase. Traded an Acura TL & a 1999 Chev Tahoe so I wanted an SUV that performed close to the TL and had the same amenities, ie, bluetooth, leather, comfort, etc. Also needed the towing capacity of the Tahoe. So far it has meet all my expecations. Rides nice, has everything my TL had except for the navigation system. With the HEMI the jeep is quicker than the TL and handles almost as well. Also drove the 4 runner & the Jeep handled better and the interior of the 4 runner actually seemed cheaper than the jeep. So far, so good on the reliablity. Driven over 8,500 miles and 3 long road trips. No problems! Of course the gas mileage stinks, but expected with a V-8.

  Terrible Product! - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Angry owner!!!! - January 19 - 8:40 am

  Where should I start? First, let me say that this is one fast SUV, but I hate the hesitation is has when you hit the gas. Like its thinking, should I go or should I not. Then the rattling all over the place. This is a one year old car! This should not happen to any vehicle. The fuel economy is worse then probably an 1974 Caddy. The leather is beginning to show wear. Tranny had some shifting problems and this noise it makes around 40 mph. Seems the quality is just not there. Trading this joke in for a BMW X5. And as for speed and power, doesnt really feel that 420 ponys are pulling at times. I just dont get Jeep (mopar) Great idea, but its like they didnt follow through at end.

  Great Bang for the buck - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By lavrn03 - November 26 - 1:33 pm

  The JGCL with the 5.7 hemi is a great ride! Far better than years past with far better build quality. Huge amounts of power, great AWD system and tons of extras make this a great value. But only after the 0% 60 APR financing and huge discounts the dealers are giving. Stickered at $42k, selling for about $33-34k. The sticker its very expensive but $7k off the mark makes these a great ride! BTW you can get 20MPG with the hemi if you lock it on the highway at 65mph and are not climbing. Otherwise its 10-17mpg, depending on the mix. I dont do a lot of highway and have seen it as low as 11.5 mpg for a whole tank.

  If I had it to do over again - 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By ryan - November 14 - 2:33 pm

  Although I love the navigation, heated seats and the dvd player I would trade all of that for the upgraded 4 wheel drive system. I have the Quadra-Drive 1 which in my opinion is not a very good choice. I actually got stuck in a small snow drift. If youre going to get a Jeep get the Quadra-Trac not the Quadra-Drive!
