Glad you didn't buy a Jeep Grand Cherokee?

The latest RR sounds great, it has lost over 400kgs, is now bigger and has gained several ££££, and now comes with a 3 litre 6cyl engine and will do over 30mpg!!!! Most will cost £90-100,000. Gulp.

It is also one of the quietest luxury cars available. And it can go off road.

Will I buy 1 or 5-6 Yeti?????

Tough one.

Can't afford to buy either at the moment so it isn't something I will have to make a decision on for he foreseeable future. :lol:

Personally I believe the problem in these tests is the large alloys wheels.

Never mind the burst tyre, the Jeep handles like a bouncy castle in a hurricane!

Really?! Is your experience gathered specifically from the steel sprung or air suspension set up because I've driven them very hard and I couldn't agree any less! For the size and weight I think the ride and handling are both pretty good.

I only watched the video, but I don't think I would want to drive a car which bounced around so much and lifted wheels off the ground when driving at only 43 mph.

Ah apologies, I thought your comment was based on actual experience of driving the vehicle.

No. Maybe as you say the handling is pretty good for a vehicle of that size and weight but it certainly looks horrific in the video.

Getting one for three weeks at the end of March and I intend to put it through its paces.... if you dont hear from me again... it probably rolled.

I used to have a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 4.0 petrol engine. I used to throw that thing round like a basket ball and it never gave me any problems. (Apart from the shiney shiney leather on the flat seats used to make you slide from side to side)

I have a lasting affection for Jeep as that old battle wagon was a great car despite its flaws and naff image.

That video was quite shocking though.

Make sure you get the one with the stabilisers option
