For some who might considering the Jeep as a cruiser.
History,
For a long trips we used 14 mercedes ML diesel.
We just made 700 miles trip from Seattle, WA to Big Sky, MT
Its our first ski trip in the Jeep
As we just bought it, I was so gentle and tried to keep it low.
I would rate all from 1 to 10 and Im very picky
Seats - 8
Would like to have more sides support, but they are wide and long. No back pain. Very nice
Road noise - 9
We have Limited with 18in wheels, so tires are observes a lot of road noise and holes, not sure how bad is the ride with 20 in.
Wind noise - 9
Very limited. Very impressed
Cargo space - 10
Its for us, with all luggage for 3 skies (skies were in another car) for a week. We have some room left. Very impressed.
MPG - 10
I really don’t care, as long as it nice responsive ride. And 3.6 very good, i didn’t push hard. Average 21.6.
It runs a a few digress lower if you use Premium and you might get + a few MPGs. Not significant.
Overall, pleased with new Jeep
Now, a few things I cant understand, please, please, this is my personal opinion.
Brake pedal - why its so freaking hard to press? Why do I need to push this hard?
Interior, this glossy sections, why? Its reflects sun and its very easy to scratch, you can see dust, finger prints, scratches so easy.
could use the same plastic what they used on doors or dash, I would give it 10 right now its 4. I will look if China will create something to replace this middle glossy nightmare.
Overall its a very nice ride, so far we are happy with it, time will tell more.
