1993 Jeep Grand Wagoneer review from North America
"This is a quality vehicle and a pleasure to drive, not to mention practical"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The motor on the electric antenna does not always raise it to the fully upright position or return it all the way down when the stereo is turned off. However, this does not affect radio reception in any way.
General comments?
This Grand Wagoneer is possibly the nicest vehicle I have ever owned and I have owned some nice ones to include BMW, Mercedes, Rover, and a 2005 Dodge Ram Laredo SLT. (Ram was totaled, which is the reason I purchased the Grand Wagoneer)
When I bought this vehicle, it looked as if it had just rolled off the show room floor. The leather and wood interior is immaculate, as is the exterior. Even though it has 4WD and the optional off-road package, it had never been off pavement before I bought it from it's original owner.
It comes with all the bells and whistles, including computerized digital displays (3 of them) showing everything from status of all vehicle systems (including air pressure of tires) to ambient and interior temperature.
The power and pickup of this vehicle with it's 5.2L Magnum V8 is impressive. It can tow up to 6500 lbs.
The handling and solid feel of this vehicle makes it feel as if it would go exactly wherever you want it to, even at high speeds. In full time 4WD I have driven it through 30 inches of snow on steep terrain and it might has been on a level highway on a sunny day.
The best thing about it is that I purchased it for $4000, roughly half the Blue Book value. No car note and a vehicle that has performed faultlessly.
