Review of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee

From the moment I saw the new styling of the Jeep Grand Cherokee I wanted one. When it was time for me to trade in my 2009 Dodge Journey I went for my new love, the 2011 Grand Cherokee. I have mentioned before how much I loved the Dodge Journey. It is so functional, spacious, and kid friendly. I was slightly nervous to make the change – wondering if my new ride would be as great – and it has not disappointed!

My absolute favorite feature in my Grand Cherokee is how I can turn on the ipod app from my iphone and it automatically connects to the uConnect in the car and plays through the sound system. No cords or hassle – it just happens automatically!I also love the new color sensored back up camera. Not only does it show you what is behind you, but it is also color coded to tell you how close you are to objects and beeps to warn you if you get a little too close for comfort.I have two small kids in car seats and my husband was hesitant as to how the car seats would fit in this smaller SUV, but they fit perfectly fine. The back seat is very roomy and I can still fit one more passenger comfortably, even with two huge car seats back there.I will admit that I miss all the hidden, under compartment storage of the Dodge Journey; however my Cherokee makes up for that with the storage in the rear. The back storage space is big. I keep a large double stroller back there and have never had a problem with space, even on big trips to Costco! I am able to store some necessary smaller items in the under compartment in the back where the spare tire is kept.Just like with my previous car, I love the radio system. The touch screen is so simple and easy to use. The steering wheel controls are perfect for navigating the traffic of Southern California. I love not having to take my eyes off the road to change the radio station, volume, etc.This new Grand Cherokee is function and style all in one! If you are in the market for a new SUV, you owe it to yourself to look into the 2011 Grand Cherokee. It will not disappoint you!

GET JeepN 4x4 Club Ride

Big Bear (Cactus Flats)

We had two great runs on Saturday, June 11, 2011. The Black Diamond Trail went down Horse Thief Canyon. There were 15 Jeeps on the run and everyone enjoyed the challenge of the trail along with the commentary given by Critter, their trail guide. The other group of 16 went to Tip-Top Mountain. The ride was not as rough as the Black Diamond Trail but the view was spectacular from the top. There were no mishaps on the trails (small scratches don't count), weather was great, the company was even better, you couldn't ask for a better day!

For those of you who took pictures don't forget to send them to us so everyone can enjoy them. It was a great way to spend a Saturday and we are looking forward to our next adventure on October 1, 2011.
