Been there done that. Shocking build quality, poor interior space, unreliable.
Easily the worst car I've ever owned.
XR6T is a far better car in every way

Thanks for this. I've been considering this as an option but I was in 2 minds over the quality and reliability.

I'll go elsewhere now

Cause.. y'know, one mans opinion is all.

Offcourse not. I have gone through quite a few sites in regards to reviews on the SRT8 and they left me at 2 minds, but having someone from this forum with more technical knowledge about vehicles than your average punter who posts on productreviews can be a deal breaker.

I would trust an enthusiast review over a average joe review on productreviews who can't find where the soy latte cup holder is.

But the OP said he was looking at one, to which I provided a point about it being pretty slow in terms of a performance vehicle like the others he mentioned.

And the VRs models are Skodas top performance cars. The G6ET wasn't even Fords top performance model.

The Skodas get smoked by just about every hot hatch/wagon it competes against.

For me, I purchased an extended warranty with my SRT.

So far, the water pump poo'd itself - no cost.

I've also got a workshop that will submit a claim to my extended warranty company with relation to the potential camshaft issue with these motors - an upgrade to the 6.2 trackhawk cam is around a $4-5k job which he has had success getting approved by warranty companies - because the alternative is for the motor to be replaced at 2-3 times that value.

Other than that, such an awesome car. Never a let down.

I have a Grand Cherokee. Build quality has been fine. Interior seems pretty decent so far.
It's been more reliable than my Ford Ranger so far. My Ranger wasn't unreliable, but it needed a few more things fixed under warranty.
The Grand is a 2016 model.
