I'm looking at a few that are within my budget and just want to know overall if you're happy. My alternative's right now are the 2018 Jeep grand Cherokee eco diesel or some other SUV. What's your opinions?

 

 

Are you diesel or gas? I'm basically flipping a coin on which V6. Love the look of that orange.

 

 

I have a 2017 diesel and love it. Driven nearly 10k miles since Feb and have averaged in the high 20's for mpg.

Just fyi, I moved from a 2015 Jeep GC Overland with a V8. A car which I really liked. This one just takes it up another notch.

A couple of things to note:
1. There are a few software glitches/quirks. Hopefully being resolved.
2. It's bigger than the JGC with more blind spots.

 

 

 

I haven't yet hit my first service, though I've had to add DEF a couple of times. The trick there is to buy it in bulk at Walmart and fill it yourself. The dealer will charge you $40 for a couple of quarts when a 5 gallon container runs about $17.

As for tuning...well mine is a lease (though I may purchase at the end). However, I haven't been disappointed with the power. Yes, there's a bit of turbo lag, but when it kicks in it'll really move.

 

Buy the Diesel - I did! Combined 26 MPG with over 3000 miles on the clock. Regular highway commute in excess of 30 MPG. Outstanding vehicle and same drivetrain as the Range Rover - check the YouTube Range Rover road test pulling a trailer up to Eisenhower tunnel in Colorado and you will be sold. Buy it smart though - Might be better (more economical) to get a new 2018 Diesel SE custom to order and pick the options you really want, especially if buying and keeping for the long haul. Best of luck.
