It's a Jeep thing. Solid, dependable, rugged. What more could you want? It's great on snow and ice and it is a solid stable ride on any surface. The gas mileage is even reasonable at around 18 mpg ... J.D. Power & Associates gave it 4 out of 5 stars in both Mechanical Quality and Interior Quality, and it rated a full 5 stars in NHTSA crash tests. Drivers enjoy the 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee's power, handling, reliability, and design. You can't mistake it for anything but a Jeep. Yet its proportions are completely different from before, with more steel and less glass, a laid-back windshield, the trademark giant wheel well flares, and a slickly angular body without the cladding of the previous generations; just one small spear. The D-pillar has been laid forward, which cuts into cargo space, but it sure looks cool. It's got a replaceable chin spoiler on it, and it looks mean. Inside, it's got nearly 70 cubic feet of storage. And, unlike some of today's prettier crossover sport utility vehicles (SUVs) -- the Cadillac SRX, Lexus RX 330, and Acura MDX, for example -- the Grand Cherokee still has the guts to traverse boulder-strewn mountain paths. Interior materials are dramatically improved over the previous model's, which left much to be desired. The atmosphere inside is light, comfortable, and more enveloping than the previous model, more bolted in than hanging on from the driver's perspective, with lots of seat adjustment, excellent outward vision around the relatively slim posts, and all the switches and controls clearly labeled and easy to find and use. The result of a complete redesign for the '05 model year, this Grand Cherokee retains its classic style and unparalleled off-road ability while delivering a level of luxury not seen in prior year models. If you're looking for a true 4x4 that's also refined and comfortable enough to drive in the suburbs, this is a must-see. Print this out and come in today for a test drive!
