Anyone drive a newer Jeep?

2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee here. The brakes need to be replaced twice a year, the warranty on everything just about sucks. I don't have a lead foot, and I don't abuse the brakes either. My maintenance/service bills are about 3-4 times the amount of my monthly payment!! Not worth it.

Keep in mind that SUV's are in general more expensive than smaller cars. Brakes, tires, etc, that all adds up, and they get worn out much quicker than smaller cars.

I also have a 2003 VW Golf. It's a pain in the butt to get my bike in there, but so far, the little Golfy has been good. Over 80,000 miles on it, and no major issues!

Sometimes you just get a bad one, I guess.
My Wrangler is 11 years old (bought new). I've taken good care of it and maintenance has been next to nothing.
14K well spent

I guess I did end up with the lemon of the family. Or maybe the newer ones are just crappy. My mom used to have an older one - 98 or 99? And that car was great. She loved it and it never had any issues. Too bad it was stolen.

I'm trying to think of other American SUV's. None come to mind that I think would be worth buying.
