Default About to buy an 05-06 Grand Cherokee - need some help from fellow owners

What's up everyone,

I'm looking to buy myself an 05-06 grand Cherokee limited. I know for certain that I want the v8, just not sure if I should spring for the hemi (5.7) or just stick with the standard 4.7. I've driven an 05 4.7 extensively' had my friends for a few months, and I'm not as under impressed with its performance as a lot of people are....and by saying that I'm also by no means saying I think it's fast lol. The 5.7 I've never drove, but from research it seems like the performance difference is negliable, if any really, but that's also on a drag strip. I'm sure in real world driving the torque difference is probably noticeable. What would you guys recommend, and/or what did you end up buying?

My second thing is I MUST have an IPod in my car, but I also like the cleanness of the factory nav vs aftermarket look. Is there a good quality iPod/iPhone interface that works with factory nav, and controls....or am I better off getting a non nav car and just installing an aftermarket all in one like a pioneer avic?

Thanks in advance!
Rocco

Your title is misleading and offensive!!! You're buying a GRAND Cherokee... not a Cherokee...

That aside.

I say go for the HEMI.

I wouldn't say the wrong place. Maybe not the best? Lol there are some grand cherokee specific sites. And a section for grand cherokees here.

Maybe just change the title, might get more responses.
