My Favourite Car

7 July, 2007

It is my favourite car. I’ve never even sat inside, but to meĀ Jeep CherokeeĀ is the best car in its exterior design. Grand Cherokee with its rounded lines and belliness is not as good as Cherokee. I’ve just learnt that the last Cherokee was built in 2001. Does it mean the only option is to buy a used car?

There is something charming and captivating in the straight lines and austere, but kind and manly radiator railing. Not without reason a new Jeep Commander is back to those straight lines. There is no big difference between, say 1999 and 2001 models, between Limited, Sport and Classic. Automatic gear-box (as almost everywhere in the USA) is probably more convenient than a mechanic one.

When strolling down the morning streets I always admired such cars, peacefully parked on the side of the road. Judging by appearance the owners were mainly students that (as is customary in the States) came to town from other places. There were even shirts taken from home hanging at the back of one of the cars.
