Re: Choice of X-Trail or Grand Cherokee Petrol Auto ?
The 2005/06 Auto petrol Xtrail would come with the CVT Auto which have had problems in the past but could either be covered by warranty if problems did arise or may have already been replaced by the original owner under warranty.
As an alternative, if the manual gearbox in your current Xtrail is your only concern have you looked into replacing it with an Auto gearbox from a vehicle in a wrecking yard ?
With yours being a diesel then the Auto which came with that is the traditional type of gearbox and not a CVT.

Re:
Go the Jeep, but dig deep for fuel.
Those in line 4.0's are pretty thirsty, but then again have a bucket of torque and are bullet proof.

Re:
Mate I'd go the Jeep. Tonnes more available with aftermarket sources for parts and upgrades etc; does the GC have low range? Could look into extractors and an exhaust, maybe even lpg with it being a petrol etc if you're worried about fuel economy. I drove the 4.7L V8 back when I was learning to drive and boy was it fun haha (was manual though). Good luck with your choice!
