Faults:

Nothing as yet.

The car has a little wear on the seats which can be expected.

The previous owner put alloy wheels and tires that are too big on it causing the wheels to rub when the steering wheel is turned, very annoying when trying to maneuver around a car park.

Petrol gage can be a bit temperamental, looks empty when you should have gallons left, but I don't find that to difficult to deal with, just switch engine off and back on and it rectifies its self.

General Comments:

No complaints with the car at all.

Cabin is roomy and comfortable, enough space in the back for 3 adults. Dashboard is easy to use, no hidden switches or dials.

Its used to pull 2 ponies in a 2 horse trailer which it does with ease in all weather. It seems to enjoy being taken off road and thrown about a bit.

I find my fuel consumption to be around 40 mpg (its the 2.5 TD Sport) which is better than expected although it does use more if you put your foot down, which is incredibly hard not to do because it likes to go fast and cruises at 80 miles an hour.

No complains so far, although if anyone knows where I can get a load space cover and brackets for my boot I would greatly appreciate you dropping me a line at tofties23@hotmail.com.

Faults:

One rear shock absorber began to leak.

One rear leaf spring broke.

Both front universal joints have worn badly.

General Comments:

When I first bought this car I was very pleased, but when the rear suspension failed I was most disappointed. Having both the front and the rear replaced with a quality lift kit has more than made up for my disappointment.

There is more than ample room inside for my family and our dog.

I find the diesel engine very smooth to drive and it has ample torque for easy driving around town.

I feel very let down by my local dealer as it is my opinion that they are not interested in servicing and repairing 'older models', but would be very happy to sell me a new model.

The car has done quite a lot of miles now and has worn very well, the seats show very little sign of wear, the engine starts first time every time and the four wheel drive system engages smoothly and operates faultlessly.

I take my car off road and after having the suspension lifted, I have found it to be a far more rewarding experience.

Faults:

Nothing has gone wrong with the car and the full service history shows nothing out of the ordinary.

General Comments:

I managed to get a very high specification model. the only extra I am missing is heated seats.

The wife insists using the Jeep instead of my Skoda Octavia for long journeys due to the comfortable ride, the MPG is noticed however and it is an expensive luxury to run.

My wife uses it for the family shopping and I use it for off-roading/green-laning without any problems.

I have been told by my passengers however that the rear seats can become uncomfortable on long journeys.

Faults:

The vehicle is now on its 5th set of alloy wheels since the finish cracks and bubbles - 1st set after two months.

Rear suspension changed at 10,000 miles.

35 different electrical faults so far, most of which were due to poor assembly.

General Comments:

This could be such a good small 4x4 but is let down by shoddy build quality, if it wasn't for the this poor quality issue, in my opinion it would out perform any diesel 4x4. Having said that I will never buy another one, from now on it will have to be Japanese.

Faults:

Air conditioning failure.

Electronic's overload.

Corroded alloy wheels.

Drivers electric window failed.

Cam belt needed replacing after 20,000 miles.

Brake disc fell apart 100 miles after main dealer service.

Engine would constantly overheat and dealer could not find problem.

General Comments:

Even after all of the above I loved this car! It was comfortable and had all the performance one could wish for but I have to say at the expense of fuel economy.

I found dealer's to be unhelpful and in some cases totally unknowlegable about their product.

I would never buy another Jeep again.
