Spacious, comfy ride

by Long-time Jeep Lover from Chicago, IL on Thu May 18 2006

I bought my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee just after I graduated from college. I wanted something which handled like a coupe, had the storage/passenger space of a van, and that didn't suck down gas like a semi. In all my research, this vehicle had it all. The seats are extremely comfortable and have always been the focus of the first comment made by my friends/family upon getting in. Even when at full capacity (easily 5 adults), everyone was still really comfortable. The stereo puts out immaculate sound complimented by the design wish eliminates most, if not all, outside noise. Having owned a Jeep Wrangler, the elimination of outside wind noise was a HUGE selling point. With a 20 gallon gas tank, my experience with filling this baby up has been nothing but sublime. Driving this Grand Cherokee cross-country was one of the best experiences of my life--a comfortable, smooth, quiet ride which allowed more conversations with friends than complications with our vehicle. The only down-side is the absence of a sunroof which, after owning this Jeep for nearly 3 years, is the ONLY thing that I feel is missing.

Great value and ROCK solid

by Suburban Jeepman from Newton Ma. on Tue Feb 07 2012

I was in the market for an inexpensive used car and found this mint condition 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with 150K miles for less the $5K. I took it for a test drive and had my mechanic give it the once over. He found it to be in excellent condition and was maintained extremely well, multiple Jeep replacement parts have been installed. Who ever owned this before me must have loved this car because the interior and exterior and nearly flawless. I've owned it for 3 months. Not a drop of oil has been consumed by the V8 engine over my first 3000 miles. Every accessory works, the AC blows cold air, the brakes and rotors were new, and the suspension is quiet and tight. I average 15mpg in city driving. Great SUV! Very solidly built and rust resistant... not a spot of rust anywhere. I highly recommend you try and find a well cared for Jeep Grand Cherokee LIMITED... luxury at a bargain price!

Replaced 2000 Eldorado with 2002 Grand Cherokee

by Dyno Don from Uwharrie National Forest, North Carolina. on Fri Sep 01 2017

Very good vehicle if you get one with 6 cylinder motor, (avoid the 4.7l v8, I had the 4.7l in a Dakota and it imploded, poor oil return passages, to small). The 6 cyl. is a great engine, and the rest of the Grand Cherokee is impressive also. Parts are readily available. I'll keep mine till it is illegal to drive.

Solid, classic, all-around sport-utility

by auchen on Sun Feb 18 2018

The Grand Cherokee tradition goes back a long way and together with it's sibling Cherokee, defined the genre. It was the first - and still teh best as each generation has only gotten better. This particular vehicle was purchased new and has been like a member of the family since. Solid, reliable performance with plenty of power and very classic Jeep look to it. WIth All- Wheel Quadra Drive and it's spectacular in snow, and is a comfortable all 'rounder. The reliability has been great, but I only gave it 4 stars, because while the front brakes perform well, the rotors were a little undersized and tend to warp, necessitating replacement sooner than in subsequent generations.

02 Overland For $500

by MrDrDre from St Helier, Jersey on Mon Dec 30 2013

I'm extremely happy with my Overland. I bought it for $500 and it's in perfect condition but the only problem was that the reverse gear was really weak. I got it fixed for about a hundred bucks, just changed the fluid and both filters. The performance is great for a SUV as the acceleration pushes me into the seat and ghe engine as well as the exhaust system sound awesomely, better than a Jaguar XK8 00. Access to parts is easy and most are fairly easy to remove/replace. I really like the design of the exterior and the interior. It drives very well either off road on the freeway or in urban areas. I had this car for about a year now and I never had a problem with it. Only thing I did to it was replacing the air filter from the original boxy thing to a K&N Air Intake for $180 which made the throttle respond quicker besides from changing all brake pads and all fluids. I'm also incredibly surprised by the fuel consumption which is really little. For $50 I can cruise for about two weeks. There's a trick but you have to find out for yourselves :)
