My wife's last vehicle was a 2011 Grand Cherokee Limited. She has always owned Jeeps until her new BMW. We never had a problem with any of them. It was a great vehicle, although 2011 had a lot of gremlins that weren't worked out, stemming from the complete redesign. Loaded, HEMI, 20" wheels, etc.. If you're anything like me, when I purchase a vehicle, I want it loaded. Buying a stripped down Macan just for the Porsche name is foolish, when a Top of the Line Grand Cherokee can be had for the same price. Good luck!
I agree that the Macan or any Porsche can get expensive, especially with the way you can option them up. We have had several Jeep Grand Cherokees over the years and love them.

When were looking for a new SUV I was certain it would be another Jeep GC. We test drove the Jeep GC SRT, back to back with the Macan. Although we loved them both, no contest, the Macan was so much better than the SRT in every way. Surprisingly the price of both vehicles in Canada were practically the same, $77k for the Jeep GC SRT and just under $78k for the Macan S with comparable options.

If you don't want to spend that kind of money, don't take the Macan for a test drive, it really is that good.
