While the 2010 T&C is in the body shop getting the hail damage repaired, I have for my rental, a 2011 Grand Cherokee Laredo 4x2 with the 3.6L Pentastar V6 in Bright Silver.
I just thought I'd share my thoughts...
First, the body looks great! Gets lots of attention. The whole outside redesign is really good.
Second, the interior is nice. Seats are supportive, but not firm, the new 'thick' steering wheel (that most all 2011 Chry Co products have) is my favorite steering wheel ever. All things are laid out in a logical place, gear shift is in a convenient position, dash lights up well at night, kids are happy with the rear seat. :thumb:
Third, well... it drives like a dream. Transmission shifts smooth, engine has plenty of throttle response and is silky smooth, handles well, rides great.
My wife and I have owned right at 17 vehicles in the 15 years we've been married. She always likes what ever I buy, but has never really 'wanted' anything. Well last night, her driving home from going out to eat, she looks over at me and says 'Man I love this. So smooth, rides so well, I'd have it over my van'. We've had a van since 1999... we are 'van people'... we both love vans... vans are awesome... but that tells you how good the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee is. My wife, who would throw rocks at all things Jeep 2 years ago, would own one.
Long post short... we like it. A lot. :thumb:
