Amazing Beast... Owning it is a pride..

Have been owning this amazing beast sine Jul 2018. I must admit that it has earned me great image and respect among the circles. A wonderful machine that I have owned in ages... Always upto the expectations,... Never complained... I am running 113K Kms on my odometer,, but the performance is still the same as day one. Just to let others know,, I haven't changed my tyers yet.... Still having another 30% of tyre life left...

Buy only if you have ample money guys it's only for high class

Jeep Build quality is good, drive quality is smooth, safety strong. Road presence is great, mileage is good, cost to maintain is high compared to Mahindra and Toyota. But after all no value for money. Buying and maintaining is high cost. No resale value at all. Less service centre. Spare parts are not available aftermarket. Maintaining costs is worry worry-making thing, Jeep needs to reduce costs.
