KK Cherokee Advice

[Glenno72]

I have had my 2010 KK for nearly 15 months now haven't had any major issue with it. ESP light came on Friday morning but hasn't returned but will get it it checked Monday, Personally I love it. Your buying a brand new car with 3 year warranty and road side assist, as the jingle goes - Don't Hold Back

Hey Jaz, sounds like you live "out of town". If the roads you frequent are unsealed or poor you might want to try changing out the wheels before it leaves the dealer. The Jet's wheel/tyre combo is all looks and zero consideration for practicality or driving conditions. Many KK owners have had success talking the dealers into doing this, I'm guessing this may be because the Chrysler buyers would happily take your old set for that pimp look? Just a thought.... Btw, I've done 100K and very happy with my KK, I'm not gentle with it either. Hope you get your way and behind the wheel soon.

I hope so too KKnut. I think I have but knowing my luck by the time I can get my hands on one they will all be sold out. Less and less everyday
Thanks I will talk to the dealer about the wheels. I live about 4 hours from Brisbane in land. Just moved from the gold coast for work out here. My current car is to low for the types of roads I need to drive down sometimes. Not all the time but occasionally.

Folks, I used to own a Grand Cherokee 2011 model and had to sell her. Now I am looking at going back into the Jeep world with a KK. I would be driving mine mostly urban. The figure stated by another member here of 17litres/100 has scared me a bit...can we elaborate anymore please?

Stop start around the Gold Coast I'm showing 16.5 - 17.5. !!!
But I'm only on my 5th tank of fuel so it may loosen up a wee bit.

regards

I've done about 35K now in my 2011KK Sport petrol, and I get from high 12s to high 13s. This is about 75% Highway and 25% Country town (no stop/start driving).

I'm up to 55000kms on my KK and I get around 12L/100km for 70% highway, 20% stop-start urban and 10% trail driving. Mind you, I do avoid AC and inflate my tires a little bit higher.
