the fact you are comparing a craptiva to a grand cherokee for servicing costs makes me wonder if a grand is the car best suited to your needs

Comparing the two for servicing costs means that a GC is not suited to my needs because....? I do realise that they are different vehicles. But as they are both diesels I was interested in servicing costs between the two. As for it being called a “Craptiva”? People do seem to “sensationalise” issues about them, as they do about Jeep products. These were mostly for the older models. But I am sure that there are some issues with the newer ones, just as there are with all different vehicles, GC’s included. I find it funny how most people have never owned one, but can comment because a “friend” had one, or go by what they have read on the internet. People being worried about them being made in Korea. Geez, Hankook tyres are also made in Korea. Had them on my GQ Patrol. While the Hankook Dynapro was far from the best tyre I’ve ever had, they were ok for the price. If I followed everyone’s advice then I would be afraid to buy anything. This is why I have joined this forum, so that I can go by advice from people that actually own these vehicles. If I went by what I read on the internet, then all of the fearmongering about Jeeps being no good would probably drive me away. We have had the Captiva for 5 years without an issue, only paying for servicing. If I purchase a GC and have the same happiness with ownership then I will be very happy. I am sure that this will be the case, as I have so far had positive feedback about GC’s.
