Jeep lent me one with several upgrades to include: a $995 safety package that added blind spot and cross path detection a $1,495 technology package that came with adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning and park assist and a $1,695 luxury group that brought in bi-xenon HID headlamps, a power liftgate, premium leather bucket seats and ventilated front seats.

Sometimes the second time around is simply better.
