I have a company Frontera Limited 3.2 V6 big improvement on the last model, that was a disaster the engine is very powerful and fast.....0-60 in 9secs top speed of ~ 120mph making it the fastest 4x4 on the road second only to the top of the range Merc faster than the V8 Range Rover / Shogun and the Grand Cherokee build quality is OK, suspension is bit bouncy but all jeeps are interior is good, with all u need one problem with high clearance vehicles with not very high roofs such as this, is that in the back seat you knees are up high...can get quite comfortable MPG is terrible, but again they all are in petrol ...
