As far as I’m concerned not only does everybody have an opinion, but everybody is entitled to express it. Especially when it concerns cars on a car forum. Whether you do, is one’s own choice. But I love reading about others opinions. I might not always agree, but that is a different matter all together.
I would like to say this is a car forum, so it is not as if we are discussing anything particularly important, such as world peace. So no matter what anybody says or believes it’s not worth getting upset about. It’s only cars.

Absolutely agree! I have said it quite a few times. We tend to take our own personal experience, with say a particular car, e.g. a Grand Cherokee and then extrapolate that personal experience for all Grand Cherokees.
My experience is limited to having worked on several Grand Cherokees, knowing quite a few owners, being active on various Jeep forums for quite a number of years. I own the workshop manuals, parts and some tools.
Your experience appears to be based on your current ownership of a Grand Cherokee. But there are several million Grand Cherokees out there in at least 4 different generations. So statistically speaking your or my experience is completely and totally insignificant. It amounts to absolutely nothing, other than an opinion.

Not sure what gave you the impression that I even like the M4. In this particular thread I say on BMW:

you will know I am not a big fan of the German trio perse

Quote:
Mind boggling boring it might be, but a BMW 5 series or Audi A6-8, it is a much nicer environment to spend your time in than this Vette

Quote:
So no Vetter for me. Back to the boring BMW or Audi most likely

Admittedly, I would take the BMW over the Vette, but only if you make me. I’m not a BMW fan and I have never understood the fascination with the M badge.
The other thing with BMW is their drivers. They are held in absolute contempt by the rest of the motoring public out there.

Not sure if the above applies to India, but driving a BMW in Europe puts you high up on the contempto-meter with most other drivers.
So where do I glorify the BMW? I do believe, preference and opinion, that the BMW is put together much better using far better materials.

Good for you! Keep enjoying it. I would say you are lucky, because my experience with Grand Cherokee’s are different.
For those that believe numbers constitute something better than personal opinion, here are some stats:

Enjoy your car and never keep your opinion to yourself!
