Advantages: comfort, excellent at towing, powerful

Disadvantages: higher fuel costs, and road tax

Jeep is a name that most people recognise as the producers of quality 4x4s. I had a 2000 reg cherokee until recently and found it to be a fantastic card in many areas. With all terrain tyres the jeep was prety capable off road, and with a 2.5TD engine could pull over its own weight easily. In fact whilst towing another car it can be easy to forget its there as setting off is so easy, it would often surprise me when i looked in the rear view mirror to see my other car (on an A frame) right behind me!

Boot space is quite good, but the spare wheel in the back takes up a lot of space, mounted spare on the door would have been better, but the door opens upwards. The roof bars are extremely useful, and can carry a decent weight, i helpen move 3 peice suites with the 3 seater on the roof, and 2 chairs in a trailer.

Bad points were that it did use a lot of fuel, mine ran about 17mpg, but it took a lot of hammer from me and only had one breakdown, due to a broken driveshaft.

The car had pleany of toys, inc electric windows etc. The ride was comfortable, as it is more like sitting in a chair than a car is. The increased hight meant the view of the road was far superior, as you could see over other peoples bonnets when they were along side (of course they could see jack all!).

I highly reccommend this vehicle, they look and drive great. The increased running costs are worth it if you tow often. Probably no good if you just commute to and from work though.

Summary: my favourite care ever, will get one again.
