Not just the reliability, but also the (lack of) service when something does go wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a couple of mates with cherokees who are in love with them. I was extremely tempted by an SRT but couldn't commit given the experience of so many others out there and got a disco instead Fun fact: apparently a Cherokee SRT wing mirror replacement will cost you $4.5K Edited 12/05/17 04:32 AM by camo86T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I so want to believe it would be fine cause they are amazing to drive, have amazing technology, and look great imho. plus everything else with a 2.5 tonne towing capacity does absolutely nothing for me. except the Pajero- but stuffed if I'm going to pay 15k on top of my car for the newer, same looking inside and out version of what I already have... fun fact- they have a zf 8 speed auto.

You mentioned it as being a company car - if the risk isn't at your end then it'd make the issue a bit less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
