Well it's 3 months and 5,200 miles later and I'm really loving this Grand Cherokee. Drove from St.Louis to Destin,Florida and averaged 23.5MPG's. (this is from the on board computer. I didn't do the math as MPG's is not a reason to buy a Jeep so the actual figure is not that important to me.) Close to 5MPG's more than I was getting in the Commander. I really like the 8 speed transmission and the hemi engine is much more powerful than my 4.7. The 8.4" nav screen is really cool and love the blue tooth and the ability to talk to the Jeep to get it to change from satellite radio to media to making phone calls. Haven't taken it off road yet except to test the sand mode for a short distance East of Pensacola. Beach. Worked great.
I do miss this forum as most of the posters here seem to be mature and very little flaming or insulting one another. On The other jeep forum they are constantly fighting over who has the V6 and who has the V8and which one is better. They really get nasty about it. In 3 years on this forum and 2 years on the other Commander forum I've never seen that except for a few times mostly in a tongue in cheek or friendly way.
Apparently not everyone knows that "hemi" is a trademark name. Chrysler does not claim it is a true hemi. Also there is no P-51 under the hood of a Mustang nor is there a live coyote under the Ford. No trees in the Forrester either.
So far my only issue has been moisture in one of the rear reflectors. I'm having it replaced under waranty tomorrow.
