    its a good thing to hear an engine sound..no one wants to feel like they are sitting in a library while they are driving a car. big engines should be heard

    Had to laugh my A$$ off when he mentioned the Jeeps reliability, because Range Rovers and Jags have always been the worst. In fact, even the last few BMW's I've had have been horrible. Haven't had any problems with my Jeep. Guess I'm lucky.

    • @JasnoGT

      Exactly. I've had 2 BMWs and they were money pits. I've had my GC for years and very few problems.

    Our friend forgot to mentioned the off road capabilities of the JGC. Big difference compared to competitors. When the road or the weather conditions get tough, you are grateful to go aboard the Grand Cherokee. That's a fact.

    Had mine for 3 months and love it. Comfy, powerful with a big 3.0 V6 + an 8 speed auto box and what ever What Car says it is silent at motorway speeds. Really looks the part and has loads of toys. I paid £34500 for a pre registered Limited Plus with 20 miles on the clock. Compare that to the price of its rivals! Saw a Range Rover Sport (£60000) parked next to it the other day and had a chance to compare them side by side and for me, the Jeep can hold its own. Just as big and imposing as the Range. Ok, interior quality is not as good but still looks fantastic. An absolute bargain.

    Reviewing a jeep only on paved road and comparing to SUVs that only do well on paved road. How about taking Jeep off-road as it's meant to be and then comparing it with a BMW X5. You would see where the jeep's strong points are.

  • @GibPiperTarik

    I quite like the look of it. Certainly would stand out in a sea of Land Rovers, Beemers and Audis.

    Here in the US, the JGC is a mainstream SUV that actually competes with the other mainstream mid-sized crossovers that are WAY cheaper than BMW, Audi, and Land Rover SUVs, which this Jeep also happens to compete with. In my opinion, I think it's in a class of its own. It's not as luxurious as its European rivals, yet nicer than its mainstream rivals. It is a serious off-road vehicle itself, which its mainstream and luxurious European competitors (besides Land Rover) aren't. I have had a 2013 JGC Trailhawk 5.7 Hemi for a full year now and been very happy with it. When you mash the throttle, the Hemi comes to life with a VERY loud roar sound in the interior and pretty powerful acceleration, but it's super quiet when you gently accelerate. It doesn't accelerate any faster than a V6 engined saloon/sedan because it's so heavy. On the Highway at 75 MPH or 120 KM/H, I get like 18 miles per US gallon. When driving in the city, its 13. That pretty bad lol. The 3.0 diesel tows just as much as the Hemi thanks to its massive 420 pound-feet of torque and uses WAY less fuel (30 more pound-feet and 10 more MPG than the Hemi), making the Hemi quite pointless now.

      Did you have issues with the 5 speeds transmission?

    • @Dcc357
      @Dcc357 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Nope, and I hope not! So far it's been shifting nice and smoothly. It actually has a 6 speed, but it's basically another version of the 5 speed with different programming (I think). The electronics, and the air suspension have been running well, too.

    • @Barhom590
      @Barhom590 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      ***** Great to hear that. I actually have that transmission in my 06 charger and haven't got an issue except roughness in downshifts but it's nothing to give attention to. Still the transmission is tough after 8 years.

    Had mine just over a year now. Nice ride, eats up the miles. Love most things about it except the loss of the flipper glass, and the STUPID foot park brake. Hate that so much I nearly got something else.
    V8 with Air suspension. I don't notice the V8 getting loud when accelerating, even up hill. It's almost too civilised as I like to hear my V8 lol... then again just put it in sport mode.. becomes a different beast and you certainly hear it when you put your foot down.
    Suggested improvements. wood grain centre. restore the flipper glass in the rear door, and change that stupid foot park brake back to a hand brake or a button.

    look at cost of land rover and bmw purchase price, insurance, reliability, repairs, and maintenance costs. and resale depreciation before you even think of saying the jeep is somehow a lesser vehicle. europeans are so mesmerized by carbon fiber and leather and wood trim that everything just goes out the window

    Does with guy work for Land Rover (probably not cause he's not Indian). Jeeps have a reliability issue but RR's aren't that far behind and you don't have to sell a testicle to buy a Jeep like you do with a RR. If you want reliability in an "off-road" SUV with a splash of leather then go Japanese... or German if you wamt real luxury.

    Put in simple terms you get what you pay for.

    Most people that carry 7 people are usually not 4 wheel driving.
