Buying a Grand Cherokee, V8 or CRD
Discussion
Hello Chaps
So I've been looking for a WH Jeep Grand Cherokee for Ages. (like a couple of Years)
Ive had my heart set of the 5.7 Hemi, but looking sound there are Absolutely Zero in my Area, closest is Nearly 300 miles away.
Theres loads of the Crd very close to me. my question is Would i always regret buying the Diesel when i started it up every time i got in to it?
What do you think?

Thanks, my brothers got the 4.7 v8 with lpg, which is where I first got the idea.
I live on and island that gets cut off my the tide twice a day and so it would be used for going through the water every now and then! How would the petrol hold up with being dunked in water, I've always been told diesels are better for wading? Not that I'm planning on doing it everyday

Thanks bud, Yeah, if i did end up buying a CRD i would be getting it mapped pretty much Straight away. The Economy doesnt bother me that much as i only do between 100-150 miles a week.
i know what alot of people think about LPG but if i could find the Petrol one with LPG that would be a Gem, Great sounds and good Economy, My brothers had got LPG on it and he's had it for 5 years or so and he swears by it.
Im not sure if i could go to my brothers and park it next to his and not feel slightly jealous when He starts us the V8.

I have a 3.0 crd WK Overland, and so far in the past year or so I've owned it, it has been great.
Performance is not much worse than the petrol, but the economy is far better. I think they are 215 bhp as standard, but a remap will give around 270 bhp and a slight improvement in economy. If fuel costs aren't a consideration then go petrol, if they are, then CRD may be the way to go.
I've seen 30 mpg on a run, but generally motorway driving gets 25-27mpg and town driving 21 -23 mpg.
