The Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited (5.7L Hemi) provides a smooth, comfortable, and entertaining ride. The suspension setup on this vehicle gives a firmer ride than some of its competition, but rewards the driver with a better handling vehicle. It handles the curves of the mountainous terrain I live in better than any other SUV I have driven. Its 4 wheel drive system is stellar and gives confidence in bad weather travelling. It is a full time AWD system that requires no input from the driver. This causes a fuel economy penalty, but the system doesn't have to start slipping before it is activated like automated part-time systems (safer). This is one of the smallest mid-sized SUVs and the interior space suffers accordingly. On the other hand, it is one of the easiest SUVs to drive and park. If you have to have the space, I would recommend looking elsewhere. The biggest downfall of this vehicle is the gas mileage. At today's gas prices it can be painful to make long trips. Around town I have been averaging 15 mpg.
