2014 summit hemi 500 mile review

I've got 500 miles on my jeep now, and mechanically it's been great, electronically, not so much. I'll rate several areas. 1-10 with 10 being the highest

Exterior looks-9
I've only had it a week, and I get compliments from everybody on how sharp it looks, and it does. I like the rims, if I were to off road I'd probably want something different

Tires-5
I've got the forturas and so far they are ok, definitely not my first choice for tires

Ride-8.5
It is extremely quiet and smooth, and it might even be better now that I've got the proper psi in my tires

Paint-10
I can not find anything wrong with my paint and I've got a excellent wax on it now, and it appears the depth of the paint is endless, and it's crazy at how objects reflect off it

Interior looks-9
I really like the looks of the interior, the dark jeep brown leather is really nice. There's not too much chrome like substances, which is good. The goldish color goes really good with the brown

Transmission-8
I haven't had any problems with it and it seems to shift really good. I don't think you should even notice the transmission, and I don't. I don't use the paddle shifters, but if I did its nice having them at your fingertips.

Stereo-8.5
The stereo is a 7 with the Sirius, it sounds good, just seems a bit muted. The stereo with the thumb drive is a 9.5. The sound is so clear, it seems like you're in the studio.

Remote start-2
It starts, but my ac/fan don't come on with it and I have to shut it off and restart it to be able to turn it on. Supposedly it's a software issue and will be fixed in Q3, but I don't know how it's software if not everybody's jeep is affected

Passive entry-3.5
It's great when it works, but there's no rhyme or reason on when or if its going to work. Waiting to see if anything else pops up before intake it in

MPG-7.5
I'm averaging 19 mpg 45/55 highway/city miles and I think this will actually keep improving. I don't hammer the throttle, but I don't baby it either. When I want to go, I want to go, and it will it seems like a rocket. I haven't towed anything yet, so I can't comment on that.

Uconnect-6.5
I'm still getting used to this, and the more I learn about it, I'm sure I'd raise this rating. It'd be nice to have some more hard controls for some things, but there not there. It does seem to be able to dial a ph number compared to my old 2011 ram

ACC and blind spot monitoring-8.5
It is really nice on the freeway on how it adjusts the speed for you when you come up on a veh and speeds it back up when you change lanes.

Overall-8
There's a few bugs that need to be worked out, but they're not mechanical, which is good. If/when I get those fixed this score would go up. If more crop up, it could go down. This is my 5th grand Cherokee that I've bought, and it's had the most problems, but they're all electrical. I think it looks great and mechanically it runs great.
Overall I'm pleaseddde04 hope this review can help somecdf7bI hope my photos show up, but they don't do it justice
