Replying to: casolorz (Nov 14, 2007 1:12 pm) Only you can decide if it's worth it or not. For me it was. MyGig navigation and bluetooth is very cool (and free at the moment due to a Jeep promotion). The hard drive should be faster than the DVD version. Plus you can upload your own songs. However, I never used the 07 Navi. The HID lights were a must for me, so the 07 was not even an option. For you the lights might not be as important. The interior is supposed to be nicer in the 08s than in the 07s. I didn't see the 07, but I quite like the 08. Finally, I got the new generation 4.7L, which is more powerful and more efficient than the 07. For me, it was a no brainer decision to go with the 08. For you? I have no idea. You can't go wrong either way.

Replying to: verdugo (Nov 14, 2007 1:46 pm)  Does the bluetooth (the other must have feature for me) interact with the navigation screen at all? Is the 4.7L e85 always or do you have to request it like that? On the old jeep I think you had the option for it not to be e85 at no cost which I never understood why wouldn't you want it to also do e85 if it was the same cost.

Replying to: verdugo (Nov 14, 2007 3:13 pm) I guess now I have to read to see what people have been getting as price for the limited trim with nav, towing, 4x4. I am hoping to get it close to invoice before the rebates, we'll see.

I am strongly considering a 2008 GC Limited. However, I know that they have had a long running problem with front brake rotors warping. Does anyone know if this problem still exists? Harlan

Replying to: 05rubisahara (Nov 14, 2007 5:13 pm) The latest brake recall didn't affect the 08s. And it was just b/c some rotors were manufactured with weak materials. As far as I know there was no warping involved in the recall. |

Hello! I am a single lady who has always owned sedans, and is contemplating a switchover some time in the next year or two to an SUV for several reasons -- hauling capacity, bad weather driving and because I've gotten to like the feeling of sitting up higher while driving. Part of me has always secretly wanted a Jeep. However, I have had two radically different sets of experiences - not personal, just friends and family. My brother has a Jeep Wrangler he bought new in 1977 and still has to this day. The poor thing has almost 250,000 miles on it, and still putts along. On the other hand, I've had two cousins and a friend who have bought Jeeps (all Cherokees, I think ) and have sworn NEVER AGAIN because they've had nothing but problems. I have heard the same sorts of things in passing from many other people. It seems that people either have the Jeep that will run absolutely forever with no big issues, or they have a nightmare, and nothing in between. Am I exaggerating or not understanding the issue? I would LOVE to have a vehicle that if maintained well, I could just depend on for about the next 15 years. What say you, Jeep Cherokee owners? Is it a matter of good maintenace, or is it a matter of luck what you end up with? Was there a run of a few bad years and the bugs are ironed out? Is it certain models? Not looking at trading vehicles any time soon, just considering all my options. Info and opinions appreciated! Many thanks!

Replying to: kmauss (Aug 17, 2008 10:57 am) I have a 2008 and not only has it been very reliable, it's been a great pleasure to drive. They have lifetime powertrain warranty. There's going to be a redesign in 2010. Not sure how different it will be from today's model because of gas prices, etc. If you like the current one, you might want to pull the trigger for a 2009 at the latest. Remember, don't buy a first year model Best of luck. It is an awesome SUV. My only regret is not getting the Quadradrive II (I "just" have Quadratrack II). Feel free to ask any questions. And don't rely on my opinion. Do your research. Oh, and as a bonus it's an awesome time to get a great price on one right now.
