Loads for your money, but you won't get it back!

Running cost is high. Need you own oil company.

Driving
A little noisy, but good traction.
Performance
Excellent performance off the mark. Needs a good kick-down and high revs on road.

Living with it
Reliability
Mine has been nothing but trouble. Air con (CC) broke (£1k+), wheel nuts cracking, electric mirrors not working, rattles and judders a lot when hot.
Image
Looks great! Chunky.
Comfort
Seat backs a little low, headroom low too, but generally a comfy ride when you're settled. No foot-space in the rear.
-
Security and Service
Security
Passive immobiliser is good, remote central locking too, plus privacy glass. Can't ask for much more.
Service
Service from Jeep has been variable, but generally poor. Very helpful if you bypass the front desk and talk to the engineers. Talk to the desk and they'll empty your wallet before you leave.
