I love the styles of grand Cherokee L but not many dealer sales overland trim .

Must admit that although it was nice to have top of the range Summit Reserve, it was too much tech, added to much weight and the 21 inch wheel don’t inspire confidence when off-roading. Overland and Sport is actually more suitable for my Jeep expectation. My two cent.

Any day! TTRs is a very different car compared to the Cayman. Drive them both back to back and you will know what I mean. I preferred the TTRS because of its dual personality. Gentleman when you want to be discreet and a beast when you want to race on the street.

I am thinking of getting a 2021 TTS for my next car how was your experience with it as a daily I know you touched on the subject but I was just wondering if there were any things you disliked about it as a daily other than the back seats?

@davidoliu 8 ай бұрын

It’s a sport car and has all the quirks of one, such as stiffer ride, small trunk, seating space etc however that all depends on your daily requirements . If I was single that probably wouldn’t even be noticeable. TT’s are probably the most practical of the lots in comparison. However, one thing that was cool but also troublesome was the single screen which becomes a real issue when you need to rely on the camera when reversing or if the steering is not left in the middle, obstructing the view to the screen.

@rnzler7881 8 ай бұрын

@@davidoliu thanks for the reply. I am a senior in highschool so I don't really have a major concern about seating space. Did you ever do any road trips in it I was wondering how comfortable it was to drive for a long time or if the stiff ride got a little to uncomfortable. and did you find any other problems with haveing the screen be so limited or was it ok for daily use?

@davidoliu 8 ай бұрын

⁠@@rnzler7881TT is by far one of the most comfortable sportcars for the long haul, if rear space is not an issue for you. Make sure you get one with the Magnetic ride and the suspension is very supple in the comfort setting. The single screen is not a problem once you learn to deal with it. Just know that it is a sport car and there are some quirks like all others. Honestly, if you can afford one at your age, get the TTRS, you won’t regret it
