I drove this car back to a dealership to help out a collegue who borrowed it for a week-end. I immediately fell in love with the 2.7L 5-cilinder Mercedes Benz turbodiesel powerplant under the bonnet. It's lowdown grunty roar sounds very good (for a diesel, 5-cilinder petrol engines sound even better). It has a lot of character, but also power and couple. It had no difficulty to move this tractor around town (yes, the preferred habitat of the SUV) at inspiring speeds. The automatic gearbox goes very well together with the engine.
The seats are a bit too wide for an average European (1m80, 75kg), and with the all leather interior, you feel lucky the car doesn't corner that fast that you start sliding from one end to another in the driver's seat. The ride is comfortable, although you feel this car was originally designed to be robust and conquer any kind of road (even non-existing ones),... except for paved roads.
It's far from perfect, but I love it anyway.

I've driven my grandparents 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo several times, and it's amazing. It has great performance, with amazing handling, power, and responsive brakes. I've never noticed any poor build quality. It looks and feels very solid. Maintenance is very straight forward, and easy. The interior is great for a family, or even a bunch of friends. However as far as accessories and the look of the dash, it's somewhat bland looking. The exterior looks great for any Jeep model. It's definitely fun to drive, not only on roads, but in places where you need 4WD.

This is the 2.7LiterMercedes Benz diesel engined Jeep. Great fuel economy for a car this size. The engine has great torque and fairly good 4X4 capabilities.The seats in this Jeep are the most comfortable seats in any car I have ever owned.

Cant fault this really, bit of a gas guzzler but a real head turner with the subtle bits of crome and super throaty engine.
