AberFowl Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Keep it quick and simple 30mile commute daily No serious off roading...wet rough tracks, stubble parks etc.. 2004 kia sorento around 60-70k Or 2004 jeep grand cherokee around 75-85k Will be dressed in a set of all terrain tyres Reliability? Any known issues? Comfort isn't a big issue. Don't want to be left at the lights by a mobility scooter but not wanting to keep up with the local power rangers on bikes!

Hendrix's rifle Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Jeeps can be an absolute ball ache to fix and maintain, parts are extortionate. The last 3 ive seen have gone to the scrap with major engine faults and wiring faults that made them not worth repairing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson_tom Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Without doubt the sorento just make sure the rear axle brackets have been inspected and remedial work done if necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - a family member had two and found them to be reliable and robust. Anything that comes with that 100k/7 year warranty would have to be.
