2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee V8 Limited review from North America
"It's a luxurious keeper!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I haven't had any mechanical problems the entire time I've owned the vehicle.
I replaced the front brakes shortly after getting the vehicle because the rotors were warped badly, a common problem on this vehicle from what I've heard, also added a caliper update kit and haven't had a problem since.
Replaced the front and rear shocks earlier this year and put on new Yokohama Geolander HT-S tires about a year ago -- they do great in the snow and ice and off road.
General comments?
This is by far the best vehicle I have owned so far.
It was a major upgrade from my 2000 Cherokee Classic, which was totalled in a wreck.
I've kept up regular maintenance and haven't had any problems.
Acceleration and braking (with the updated kit) is exceptional for an SUV and I love the V8 power!
Comfort level is high on the inside and the car looks beautiful.
For a 7-year-old vehicle, I still get comments from people asking if it's brand-new.
Gas mileage leaves a lot to be desired, but that's the trade-off for the V8.
It Does great off-road -- been on several Jeep trails and was never afraid or worried.
This is my daily driver and does get its share of abuse (rush-hour traffic, highway stop and go, off-roading), but as long as you take care of it and do the maintenance, I think you will be satisfied.
I'd buy a new one, if I liked the body style -- I think I'll hang on to this one!
