Summary
What does this car say about you?
It says I`m back. I`ve always been a 4x4 man and estate cars just scream `baggage` or `boring 2.4 kids man`.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
They think its kinda cool and that it cost a fortune.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes, I`d have another Jeep but not diesel. Good enough engine but not much better than my previous 5.7 hemi and I`m not joking. I shoot and fish and they tick all the boxes. Granted they have niggly issues (bonnet struts go, electric mirrors are iffy etc) but they`ll always get you where you want to go.
What are you likely to buy next?
If it`s another 4x4 I`d stick with Jeep although I`d go V8 petrol. They aren`t much worse on fuel and go and sound way better. X5s and the likes are not for taking shooting or fishing.
