2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee consumer reviews

I just purchased an 08 Grand Cherokee Limited, coming out of an 01, and a 99 before that. 4.7 V-8 and 4 wheel drive. 17 in town and 23 on the road at 70+ mph. Very nice, very powerful, very comfortable and very confidence inspiring. I put 150K on the 01 and it was just sold over book value in great condition. I hope to do the same with the 08.

This is my first vehicle purchase and I love it. I always wanted a jeep since I was a little girl and I could have asked for more.

One of few genuine off-road capable 4WD with 8 way CLOTH power driver seat and adjustable pedals (for very short wife). With skid plates, oversize tires, transfer case and 4.7 V8, gets same mileage as my 2WD V-6 Grand Cherokee (20 mpg combined on/off road, highway/city). But more noise, harsher ride, and less cornering ability. Looked at 4 Runner (seat problem); X-Terra (crude interior, seat problem), Toyota XJ (seat problem, poor visibility, not a 75 mph safe cruiser).

Reasonable value for the money, just be careful on mechanical integrity especially if it is 4wd. Performance exhaust and good set of plugs will help with mileage which is otherwise poor with the hemi

Just bought the 2008 Jeep GC with the Mercedes 3.0L CRD (Diesel). Great SUV. Day after I bought it in MI we had 8 inches of snow but the Jeep with full time 4x4 just plowed through like it wasn't there. The next day I pulled my VW Golf back to VA. It pulled that car on a dolly with ease even through the 8 inches of snow on the dirt road where I was staying that had not been plowed. Got over 400 miles out of 21 gallons with that VW in tow. Right at 20 mpg with a tow running the speed limit on the OH and PA turnpikes. Never even heard it grab a lower gear when going up hills. Very impressed so far.

I had my heart set on a Jeep Cherokee SRT-8, and after finding my dream car here on cars.com I can say that it is truly everything I had hoped it would be. I really have no complaints, and would recommend this vehicle to anyone. Thanks cars.com for making my search so successful.

I have been driving a 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo before I got the 2008 this past summer, so I already loved the reliability of the Jeep. Have only owned the new one for a few months now, but I love the upgrade in design style & features (heated seats, XM Radio, MP3 player connection, ...) and the ride is very smooth (especially compared to my old Jeep). Mileage is not the greatest for today's standards (16 city/ 19 hwy), but I guess that's the trade in for having the all-wheel drive reliability.

Very comfortable to drive, love the Quadra Trac II you can hardly get the thing to slip even on ice. For an off road vehicle it is great on the road as well, which was not the case with my Wrangler. Great all round vehicle.

must buy best car so luxerius best car ive ever bought in 40 years This car has so many new and good feature this cars audio is the best the power on the off road id also thee best very good in gas

This is my second Jeep, great vehicle. Has the 4.7L V8 and gets pretty good gas mileage. Has a decent amount of power. I only wish the 4x4 Jeep Cherokees were not all wheel drive, it's not necessary to have it on all the time. I bought the 4x2.
