Anyhow, great looking Jeeps, I really dig those SRT8's. I am also considering switching it up next time around, mostly bc (1) I cry every time I have to drive on a crappy road surface, which is 99% of the time, and (2) I rarely get to drive the car hard due to continuous traffic! I was eyeing cars such as the Porsche Macan and the ML63, or even an older G63/55/550.

Highway driving I get roughly 19. City is more like 12-13 for me , unless I'm doing manual more or letting it rip then I'm more like 10 max

I've got a 12 SRT8 Jeep. Oddly I've just joined this forum since I'm looking at trading it for a 2010 ML63 AMG.

The jeep is awesome. It burned a cam 5000 kms OUTSIDE of warranty though so that $6,000 bill hurt. But I still love it. Just looking for a change.

I did the reso delete and it sounds sick. It's fast and awesome. Just looking for a Benz

Only thing I heard from newer SRT8 drivers is that the transfer case can shatter to pieces and Jeep will fix them but there is no permanent fix. Heard that happened to a few of them that take theirs to a shop I go to.
