  Are you kidding me?

  by purefnevil on January 14, 2011

  Pros: I own this vehicle, and its great!!!

  Cons: The person(s) reviewing this vehicle should be fired due to complete laziness. Do a little digging before you comment. Pick up a manual, and this thing called the internet is pretty useful too.

  Summary: They took the Chrysler 300 (which I traded in for this) ripped out it's interior, tweaked it, then put it in the Jeep. My wife has a Merc M SUV, which this is based on, and we both agree that the Jeep is much better. I don't know what the reviewers were paid to bash this vehicle, but I suggest you find some people who actually will do the job, and who love and care about vehicles and what the public think. I've been going to CNET for a long time to compare products, but now I'm a little sketchy about what I should or shouldn't trust from this site.

  Outstanding

  by DR_GOK on February 11, 2011

  Pros: Tons of power, excellent build quality, very agile.

  Cons: Big time gas guzzler. Depending on the GPS head unit you may or may not get live traffic.

  Summary: I just got mine 1 week ago. It's a fully loaded Overland V8. I was leasing '08 Wrangler Sahara for 3 years and, though, it was fun for a while, driving stick in LA traffic is not an easy task. This new Grand Cherokee is fantastic. Tons of power, tons of great tech. Very laxoriouse inside. One negative about the tech- 430N head unit has no life traffic and uses Garmin system which looks and feels like a bad afterthought. So, if you are getting one, get 730N instead. I had it on my Wrangler and it was great. Nav was super clear and had life traffic though satellite that was accurate up to the minute. It is about $500 more but hey, it is worth that and more. I have yet to take my Grand out in the wild but i'm sure it will be just fine there as well- after all, i's a Jeep down to the bone.

  One thing a lot of reviewers are commenting on is "manual gear selection"- you are all wrong. You CAN'T select gears on this one. No manual mode. What that + and - next to the shifter do is restrict your highest gear so the trany cant go higher than the number you selected. It is very helpful when towing things or driving uphill. No manual shifting is no big deal. The transmission is very accurate smooth and fast to shift so, no need for manual hear. After all this is not a racing car, It's a powerful SUV.

  Best Chrysler product EVER!!.

  by iyoungblood1 on January 13, 2011

  Pros: Beautiful interior, can add features ala cart, SUPER radio! Transmission shifts are seamless. Mercedes influence can be felt in the smooth ride. Panoramic sunroof is my favorite feature. I love the Overland, but not in the budget at this time

  Cons: Gas mileage is better than my Tahoe, but direct injection would have probably been the way to go when competing with the new Explorer. I have noticed a faint rattle, but it can't be reproduced at the dealership.

  Summary: This Jeep Grand Cherokee has managed to be the first vehicle from Chrysler that I actually own. My aunt worked at GM for 27 years before being shown the door, ...

  Summary: This Jeep Grand Cherokee has managed to be the first vehicle from Chrysler that I actually own. My aunt worked at GM for 27 years before being shown the door, and as much as I loved my Tahoe, I am not ready to trust them. At least Chrysler was a private company, and I do like underdogs! My intiial impression after 1000 miles have been great. I use my trucks to tow cars, cows, hay..., you name it, and if it can be as reliable as my Tahoe with the 7 mpg bump that I am getting, I think I have a winner. Supergeek81 has 19 reviews to 19 different cars, so unless his job is to drive each one for a living, I would discount his review. Rate the car only if you OWN one!!

  Solid vehicle that is both luxurious and rugged.

  by scottyrob on November 12, 2010

  Pros: Great MB ML platform, great powertrain, smooth but capable ride, great new Chrysler interior quality, handsome inside and out, and it's still a Jeep.

  Cons: Old MB 5 speed automatic, thirsty but that should be expected, no SRT8 mode;....yet.

  Summary: I've been very disappointed with Wayne Cunningham's car reviews. Complaining about tech that you should be lucky to have in an offroader is sad. Please stop reviewing cars ...

  Summary: I've been very disappointed with Wayne Cunningham's car reviews. Complaining about tech that you should be lucky to have in an offroader is sad. Please stop reviewing cars all together when you have no clue what a vehicle should have. Anyways this Jeep is a jack of all trades. It can do just about anything and all of them right. No vehicle at its price point can offer what this has. Wayne find something else to review please.

  Wonderful! This vehicle combines toughness and luxury

  by boobookitty17 on November 12, 2010

  Pros: the ride and handling is outstanding for an SUV. It's so hard to find one that has loads of features yet can still tow, go offroad and have a great ride wherever you go. Seats are soooo comfortable as well as driving position. Plus it's very nimble

  Cons: two negatives about this vehicle are: Jeep has a lifetime warranty that is offered in the US however I live in Canada where it is not available. The other is the active suspension package is not available yet and I'm told it won't be till summer

  Summary: Overall I think it is a great vehicle. I don't think that only having five speed auto is a bad thing the jeep has plenty of power shifts when ...

  Summary: Overall I think it is a great vehicle. I don't think that only having five speed auto is a bad thing the jeep has plenty of power shifts when it should and gas mileage if good. I would rather have it the way it is since we tow with it and in my experience to many gears equals to much shifting .

  Bad CNET Review

  by ooordner on November 12, 2010

  Pros: Editors Choice
  
  I love the new 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I think it shows Chrysler is heading in the right direction. However, this review is horrible.

  Cons: Your review is very inaccurate! I hate seeing vehicles from the big 3 being nitpicked and foreign manufacturers are constantly praised for less quality built vehicles.

  Summary: "Surprising was the lack of manual gear selection or any low ranges." - Wrong - The driver can bump the gear shifter to the left for downshift and right for ...

  Summary: "Surprising was the lack of manual gear selection or any low ranges." - Wrong - The driver can bump the gear shifter to the left for downshift and right for upshift (see the - / + on the chrome shifter bezel - you can almost make this out in the picture on the second page). As for 4 Lo, do you not see the "4WD LOW" button left of the terrain select knob in the picture you took?
  
  "Turning the dial around, we were a little disconcerted to see an amber icon on the instrument cluster indicating traction control was off." - Have you ever driven off-road in the mud? You don't want the traction control restricting power or spin and potentially getting you stuck. You need to be able to spin.
  
  Also, as redcivic47 stated, the premium stereo is Alpine.

  The best yet

  by jeepdoc on January 13, 2012

  Pros: Comfortable ride/interior. What a luxury SUV should be. Roomy-my 7 foot 2 inch tall cousin can sit comfortably inthe driver's seat as can I (5'10") sit behind him in the second row (with the panoramic sunroof.Just looks darn good!Works well off road.

  Cons: Wandering 5 speed tranny. Front passenger seatback separation-covered under warranty without question.

  Summary: I bought my 2011 4x4 Limited in August 2011 with 4900 miles on the clock. It was the dealer's demo so there was some price savings that added to the overall goodness of the purchase experience. My selling dealer, Tyler Jeep in Niles Michigan, treated me very well and have been helpful since the purchase. Now, with 11000 miles on the clock, I am even more satisfied with the GC. It has done everything asked of it-on and off road. Mine does not have nav but, if the nav is as poor and difficult to use as in Chrysler's 300, I'll stick to paper and my TomTom. Bluetooth connectivity for our 4 phones was a breeze and actually works quite well. The cabin is a quiet and comfortable environment for 5 adults. We love the nice touches like reclining/heated rear seats. On road, the suspension soaks up irregularities like no toher vehicle I have owned in my 50 years. There is an absolute feeling of control when driving this vehicle. It is encouraging to see such a well built and thought out vehicle "imported from Detroit".
  Two points on the downside: the transmission at low speeds often seems to be in the wrong gear-usually to high. This is probably a bow to fuel economy and can somewhat be remedied by choosing the sport setting. Also, I found that if you have the hill decent control turned on you will loose off the line punch when accelerating-turn it off! The seatback separation issue was minor but did give me a little pause with regard to quality control. This may ahve been a supplier issue because the part was on back order when I took the GC in to schedule the replacement. With the myriad of automobile choices available the Jeep Grand Cherokee fits my needs the best.

  Fantastic ride and power

  by srunkle1 on September 11, 2011

  Pros: Smooth ride, good suspension, great power, excellent room front and back seats, premium look and feel, excellent cabin lighting, and wonderful driver assist/rear parking camera.

  Cons: Voice command system is sadly terrible. speaking in a clear and consistent voice, i have found it impossible to "call home" or any derivation without the computer randomly finding other numbers. As well, i have attempted to use an Ipod, Ipad, Android ba

  Summary: With a smooth ride thanks to the soft but responsive suspension, and a HEMI V8 that provides more than enough power, I really love the ride of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. Living in Costa Rica, the roads are terrible and I test my Jeep every day just getting to work and always find myself smiling at how well it handles, how comfortable it keeps you feeling over difficult terrain, etc. The upgrades are first class and make the 4x4 feel like a luxury car. However, on the downside, the voice command system is sadly terrible. Speaking in a clear and consistent voice, i have found it impossible to "call home" or any other saved name/number without the computer randomly choosing some other numbers. Literally a fail 100 times out of a 100, there is no utilizing it at all. As well, I have attempted to use an Ipod, Ipad, Android based phone, Windows7 based laptop to load music and pictures to the 30GB hard drive and have not been able to do so. Whether utilizing USB, Bluetooth or Aux jack, trying mp3, mp4, m4a for music and .jpg for pictures, it just doesn't work. Thus, my one very significant disappointment is the onboard computer that navigates voice and media/entertainment, as this was a very large selling point for me in making the decision to purchase this vehicle, hence my decision to reduce my rating my half a star on this alone. In fairness, all devices play just fine through the system, including via bluetooth, but it doesn't negate that the hard drive is meaningless or that you have to speak out phone numbers by number instead of saved names. I would buy the vehicle again though hope they provide an upgrade/system fix for the voice/entertainment system.

  The V8 is Great

  by lee_wutzke on August 14, 2011

  Pros: Most luxurious V8 SUV out there.

  Cons: Do not buy the V6. The V8 is great but 6 or 7 gears would be better.

  Summary: Buy the V8 but don't buy the V6. I bought the 2011 V6 Gran Cherokee in November 2010. Now I traded it for the 2011 V8 in July 2011. ...

  Summary: Buy the V8 but don't buy the V6. I bought the 2011 V6 Gran Cherokee in November 2010. Now I traded it for the 2011 V8 in July 2011. This V8 Hemi is twice the SUV. Feels like it is absolutely indestructibly and and rides with pure comfort. The cabin is the most luxurious of any SUV. Why did I trade my V6 for the V8??? The V6 had the sound of a howling cat every time I stopped. It was very embarrassing when I stopped at a gas station or store. Everyone would look around to see the howling cat only to see me and my new V6 Jeep. They refused to fix it. They said that is just the noise that a V6 Jeep makes, live with it. I did not want to live with it so I spent another $10,000 to get the V8. I love my new Jeep Grand Cherokee V8 4x4 Limited but I don't like the company because they don't don't care about their customers. Maybe they can't care because they are bankrupt. I know it sounds unbelievable but this is a true story. Great SUV poor customer care.

  the best Jeep ever made. !!! off road or in the city !!

  Cons: none. gas mileage isn't an issue for this kind of vehicle. If $20 more per tank full disrupts your lifestyle you should probably be on a bicycle. Really, it's the price of a large pizza.

  Summary: The new JEEP Grand Cherokee is the best buy for a vehicle of this kind. Safety is also a big plus with high ratings in crash tests. The ride is smooth and tight. The suspension is solid with minimal roll on corners. I also love the ride adjustment from snow, to auto, to sand, to rock. It's a total turn on to be behind the wheel of this Jeep. Power and grace with the 5.7 litre Hemi engine. I can't believe how responsive the powertrain is. Land Rover watch out. Jeep is the king and will always be the choice for off road freaks and city slickers as well.

  The new 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee is one of the finest vehicles on the road today. The cabin is refined and egonomically superior to that of any vehicle in it's class. The new suspension and chassis provide a smooth ride on the city streets but yet it can take the off road trails like no other. Features are many. This vehicle comes with a panorama sun roof that gives you the view of the heavens and seating is comfotable and friendly. My kids love the rear seat heaters for cold winter days on the way to school. Automatic headlights adjust to the conditions of the road, weather and oncoming traffic. I especially love the 9 speaker 30 gig radio system. I also have GPS. To top it off the 5.7 litre HEMI engine gets you moving with ease when you're in traffic or on the freeway. The new VVT technology turns off 4 cylinders when you're on the freeway which helps to extend gas mileage. I really can't say enough good things about this vehicle. Smooth, powerful, classic design, reliable.
