The back seat verdict: too small. We fit both seats in, but it was more snug than what we're used to. I'd never be able to buy a Grand Cherokee for my own use because of the lack of room inside for four of us.

I'm really liking the diesel engine, though...enough so that I was willing to put $20 of my own money toward a few gallons more diesel fuel (my original plan was to just drive it to a quarter tank, then let it rest in my driveway until they picked it up), but I want to drive it to work all week until then. Also, I got to see a Lexus IS-F at the pump next to mine. That's the first time I've seen one of those in the wild.

Yesterday we were going up some steep hills (paved, of course), at relatively low speeds (like 35 mph) and it just doesn't even have to try to climb things like that. It stayed in a higher gear and just pulled the jeep up the hill. It was pretty cool.
