  • The Best Yet - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    This is my third Grand Cherokee. My first was a 1997 Cherokee I-6 Laredo. I sold that with over 125,000 trouble free miles (one water pump). My second, which I still own with 176,000 trouble free miles, is a 1998 ZJ 5.9 liter Limited - The Big Dog. My wifes 2000 Grand Cherokee now has 85,500 trouble free miles on it. She travels 80 miles a day on the NJ Turnpike. I wouldnt want her driving anything else. Period.

    This is my 3rd Grand Cherokee, all of them performed great. Id only add a more sportive transfer case (sequential) as an optional.

  • Great 2WD SUV. Very Reliable. - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Bought this with 12,000 miles on it in 2002 and now I have 186,000 miles. It is the 2wd version so it gets ok gas mileage, but not great. Other than a few minor repairs and maintenance, it has not been in the shop. Fit and finish is good. It has been a VERY reliable car. It is fairly comfortable on long trips and has great storage capacity with the back seats down. I love the way the back seats fold completely flat. Holds two dog crates and tons of luggage. The ride is a bit rough and it takes turns like a heavy truck, but other than that is a pleasure to drive. The engine is a V6 and has plenty of pep and low end torque. I dont tow anything so a V6 was fine for me.

  • Jeep Class - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I use to go through about one vehicle a year until I bought a used 1996 Grand Cherokee. I was so impressed with it, that within a year I bought my present 2000 model. The Jeep is perfect for my use. For a SUV, I consider its 23-24 mpg on the highway a decent performance. Although not a hot rod, it has all the power needed for 99% of the time. Other than the having the drivers power window unit replaced once, it has given me trouble free operation.

  • 2000 GCherokee - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I have over 100,000 miles on my GCherokee. Biggest maintenance was replacement of the water pump. No oil buring, runs great on highway. Secret of longevity is probably the basic in- line six cylinder engine. Its bullet proof.

  • Full Time All Wheel Drive - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    The best part of a Jeep is "Full Time All Wheel Drive" that does not need any help from the driver to keep the vehicle moving forward under all conditions.

  • Shameful for the price - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    I paid too much money for this vehicle to be worried about everything breaking. Ive had to have an automatic window break and the fuel pump replaced. Now my side view mirror is broken and costs $500 to replace. Whats next??!! Im very irritated that Daimler/Chrysler knows that there are mechanical/design flaws such as with the fuel pump (Bulletin #1400201), and yet they expect the customers to pay for their shoddy workmanship. I really expected a quality,top-of-the- line car when I purchased my Jeep. My Toyota 4-Runner NEVER, EVER gave me any trouble. I will NEVER buy another Jeep!

  • A very good mid size SUV - 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    By -

    Im generally very happy with this vehicle. We have had it for 3 years and over 50000 miles without any problems other than replacing the brake rotors. Our laredo is loaded with options and is fun and comfortable to drive. The stereo is great. My favorite feature is the quadradrive. This system is awesome how it sends power to the wheels with traction. I have tried and not been able to get it stuck in mud, snow and sand. I thought the V6 had enough power until we started towing a boat now wish I had a V8. Its a tough, go anywhere vehicle that doesnt look like a station wagon or minivan with four wheel drive. (Explorer,trailblazer, M class, MDX)
