In the early 1940's, the US army put the word out to all automobile manufacturers that they were searching for a light reconnaissance vehicle to replace motorcycle and sidecar combinations traditionally used for messengers and advance reconnaissance. The General Purpose Vehicle, or "G.P." was nicknamed "Jeep" and a legend was born. 60 years later, the Jeep brand is globally recognised symbol of freedom and rugged adventure.

Jeep Grand Cherokee Ltd
Great car and off-roader. Has all the toys but does not shout bling. You can keep your Range Rover’s, Mercedes and BMW’s. This really is a great vehicle to drive.

Jeep Compass Limited 2008
I’m very surprised that one doesn’t see many of these around. I and my wife like ours a lot. We bought it to replace a Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland which we found to be too costly to tax and to run and, whilst the Jeep Compass Limited is smaller, it has a powerful engine and is great to drive. We especially like its overall design and appearance, its better economy, its good road-holding, and the excellent range of gizmos, which include a power sun roof, heated front seats, cruise control, and a good sound system with a 6 CD player and changer. All in all, a fine vehicle in the Jeep tradition.

Jeep Patriot CRD 2008
I simply love this Jeep (I am from Perth Australia but born in Scotland) and the Patriot just thrives in the tough mixed conditions here. While people de-ride the plastic interior I quite like it and find the power and comfort along with the economy to be excellent. Mine even has a name... Buster!

Jeep Compass 2.0 CRD 2008
Since owning this car living in a rural area has become easier. The car performs and handles well. Compass has proved to be economical for a 4X4, I have no regrets buying this car, very surprised you do not see more about. My only criticism would be after care, on 1st service main dealer picked up a tyre defect which required a new tyre, they then told me it will take them 6 weeks to get a replacement and fitted the space saver not really suitable for prolonged use. Shopped around and sourced my own replacement tyre through Kwikfit who had 1 tyre nationally which they ordered and turned around 2 days, Thank god for independents, problem with obtaining replacement tyre was advised as unusual tyre size. Hope I don’t have a 2 wheel blow out as this will take the car of the road...

Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 2006
Had the Jeep Overland for 2 years. Not a single problem in the 20k covered. Average mpg is 27.5 though on a trip through France it achieved 32 mpg. Engine is a gem, loads of pulling power and smooth throughout the rev range. Ride can be a little choppy on broken surfaces. Superb value for money when you consider what so called "premium" 4x4s cost and how little standard equipment they have. Would thoroughly recommend the Jeep.

Jeep Compass 2.0 diesel 2007
After some initial difficulty finding a comfortable driving position due to a combination of my height (6’ 2"") and the steering wheel adjusting for height only, I have been very happy with my Compass. The ride is very comfortable with the car sticking to the road like glue with virtually no roll when cornering. The suspension absorbs even quite major bumps with ease leaving everyone comfortable and relaxed on arrival. the 2.0l Volkswagen diesel engine has more than enough power both at lower speeds or when needing to accelerate beyond the legal speed limit on the motorway, only in the event of emergencies of course! With mixed driving I average 42 mpg which for a 4x4 I am more than happy with. All in all an excellent choice if you want an SUV without the major running costs of it’s larger cousins.

Jeep Patriot CRD Limited 2007
I’ve had the pleasure of owning my Patriot for a year now and love the car. I owned a Cherokee ten years ago and the Patriot attracted me back to Jeep. It looks good, drives well and is not by any means a sluggish 4x4. However, the huge plus is the VW made 2litre diesel engine. 44mpg is common on journeys away from town. A lot of critics slate the plastic interior but who cares? It has a great deal more charachter, road presence and better on and off road performance than most of the other vehicles in its class. Great buy, fully recommended.

Jeep Patriot 2007
I have become really attached to the Patriot. Very economical and practical with easy to clean interiors. Lives up to the just enough essential parts traditions. Holds the road well and love the rugged looks. Extremely reliable even after doing over 30 thousand miles this year. Love it and recommend. NB... just had first mechanical problem which meant I had to have a replacement vehicle. Really pleased to get it back today and to give back the Merc! says it all.

Jeep Patriot CRD Limited 2008
Traded in a Suzuki Grand Vitara for the Patriot. Feel the Jeep is better in most respects. Nice price, good economy from the diesel, plenty of power, comfortable and pretty nimble (even on Highland and Islands roads). Opted for the full audio pack, which is impressive. People tend to criticise the interior but I find it quite acceptable - and it cleans up easily (if you really don’t like it, I understand a re-vamped, and ’Europeanised’ interior will become available later this year). Rear visibility is slightly limited, but apart from this, I thoroughly recommend it.

Jeep Cherokee 2.8 diesel limited 2003
Good all round 4x4, powerful engine and also good off road. Nice 5 speed auto box and have had no faults after doing 63,000 miles.

Jeep Patriot CRD Limited 2007
We love it ! Chunky looks, smooth drive, easy to clean out inside after muddy booted children have climbed around inside it. Lots of toys with the cruise control, heated seats etc... We got the 9 speaker audio system with the car which sounds great. 44 mpg is attainable but you have to keep your right foot light on the pedal otherwise its 33 mpg which still isn’t bad for a large vehicle like this. It’s got some great overtaking power from the diesel engine even in 4th gear. I like its square looks, much better than the rounded off Rav’s and CR-V’s, you don’t see Land Rover Defenders getting curved edges and they are design icons.

Jeep Commander 2007
Great car. Very comfortable unlike previous generation of Landrover Disco TD5. FANTASTIC engine -quick and responsive for such a huge car. Excellent audio system and all the necessary standard equipment. Only sat nav and bluetooth missing! No regrets with this car!

Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 2006
Fabulous acceleration for a 4x4. Had mine for nearly two years and love the confidence to overtake. Only one criticism - we tow a caravan and find the ride can be a bit bumpy on non-motorway roads. Have averaged 22mgp over the 20 months, but that does include a fair bit of towing.

Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.0 V6 CRD Limited 5dr 2007
A very capable 4x4. Unfussy and very powerful. We’ve recently driven ours to Italy and back and it made a long journey very enjoyable. Plenty of space for a family of 4 and good sat nav. I’m very pleased with my purchase and glad I wasn’t swayed by an over indulgent interior, found in many other competitors in favour of true 4x4 ability.

Jeep Patriot 2.4 Limited 5dr 2007
Proper looking 4x4, nothing girly about this one. Good price and relatively cheap to run. Decent drive on all terrain and good space. Dash a bit plasticy but well set out. Good safety. Very comfortable.

This car can handle anything offroad but doesn’t feel out of place on road. Simple interior but cheaper than rivals so well worth it.

Jeep Compass 2.0CRD Limited 5dr 2007
I’ve just test driven this car and whilst it certainly has a lot of plusses: great safety features, lots of space and comfort, good equipment spec, I was not particulary impressed with the drive, seemed a little juddery at times and there were a few rattles on bumpy roads, not what I had expected. The resale value has also put me off so although I don’t think it’s a bad car I just don’t think this is the one for me.

Jeep Commander 2007
The Jeep Commander offers a lot of car for your money. Mercedes-Benz V6 Diesel offers excellent performance. A bargain when compared to the Volvo XC90 2.4 D5 which costs over £7000 more. I leased mine.

Jeep Wrangler 2.8 CRD Sport 3dr
The Wrangler just looks the business and it doesn’t disappoint behind the wheel. Loads of grunt and handles anything off road you care to throw at it. Brilliant fun to drive and comfortable enough for 4 adults. The handling on road takes a bit of getting used as does the engine noise at high revs but don’t let that put you off owning such classic car.

I fell in love with the Jeep Cherokee and although I test drove Landrover and Nissan this is the one that gives the best over-all package. True it isn’t the most fuel efficient 4x4 out there but the driving experience you get certainly makes up for it.
