I bought a Jeep Grand Cherokee in November 1999 so I could go snowboarding without having to hitch a ride with anyone. I also had finally come to terms with the fact that my BMW just wasn't that practical as an everyday car.

I testdrove most SUVs, and the Jeep was definately the best. It's great sitting up high and knowing that I can drive practically anywhere in it. I also appreciate things like fully reclining seats, tons of headroom, tons of storage space, all things I can't get in the M coupe!

The Infinity Gold sound system is excellent, as is the 4WD system. I drove through some incredibly snowy and icy conditions several times and was thrilled with the way the Jeep powered through it all. Basically, Jeeps are the business, if you're driving an Explorer, dump it for a Jeep!
