Motor Week Road Test: 2014 Jeep Cherokee

I'm trying really hard to like the new Cherokee. I was at the Dealership Saturday for a "Jamboree" and noticed the new Durango for the first time. They're fraternal twins! For soccer moms and maybe weekend camping both are kick ass. I'll stick with my JKUR.:twocents:
 
I realize there is a difference in the Cherokee and Grand Cherokee but, after having the new Grand Cherokee Limited for 6 months SWMBO does not like the new 8 speed automatic transmission. Shifts way to soon and does not give the get up and go when needed. In the sport mode it still takes time to shift but better on the response. I would highly recommend test driving one longer than just 5 or miles of the standard test drive. Had I known we would have gone with a JKUR instead.

Just my :twocents:

Despite how much I want to like this shift from the bold look I can't say it is easy to swallow. Ill stick with my jku. I'll leave this to all the soccer moms
