I had never owned a Jeep before I purchased this Cherokee from my daughter's boyfriend. We lived in New Jersey and were moving to Arizona and we thought it would be fun to have an off road vehicle to drive in the desert. It has been lifted 4 1/2", which I felt would help me as a new driver negotiate off road obstacles. We brought it to Arizona and took it out for a drive in the desert. I was amazed at what this vehicle could drive over! Rocks, downed trees, through washes, you name it. I found out what articulation is! It performed like an animal! As I got more adept at driving it, I attempted more difficult terrain. It never let me down, I never got stuck in the sand. I even felt confident enough to begin taking it out in the desert without any Jeeping friends to help me out if I got in a jam.

I have owned my Jeep Cherokee for almost ten years now. I bought it from a friend who took admittedly took good care of it since he bought it new in 2000. This has been one of the most consistently strong vehicles I have ever owned. This Jeep has never had any major engine issues. The body still looks nice, with no rust or other bad spots. The gas mileage is still the same now as it was when it was new. The four-wheel drive is still great, and I drive this car daily on my work commute. I have been so impressed with this Jeep Cherokee that when the time does come to trade it in, I’ll definitely get another Jeep!
