small, tight see full Jeep Grand Cherokee review |
2007 | 4dr SUV 235-horsepower 4.7L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD w/low range |
That and MPG are the only real faults so far after 15000 miles and 15 mons. I think our 2001 GC has more seat comfort although the 07s seats do fold over easier than the 01s. see full Jeep Grand Cherokee review |

2007 | 4dr Sedan 234-horsepower 3.3L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Other sedans I have owned always left something to be desired in the back seat. Not the Sonata. With so much rear space you really feel like you are in a full sized car! Plus being a big guy has always cramped my rear passengers until now! see full Hyundai Sonata review |

I am 300 pounds and over 6 feet tall. This is the first car that I have owned in years that allows me to make a five - six hour drive in comfort, without the need to stop and stretch. see full Hyundai Sonata review |
