I like this vehicle very much. It is a very proven brand for dependability and longevity. The fuel mileage is a little disappointing for the size and type of vehicle. This two-wheel drive version does not perform very well on icy roadways. The lightweight rear end does not help with gaining traction.

I bought my 1998 Jeep Cherokee used on a reference from a family member who had one of their own. The good stuff was really good. It had a great stereo system. It was also incredibly spacious and had comfortable leather seats with automatic everything. The ride was smooth for an SUV, but that was when I could keep it out of the shop. It seemed like every few months I was back in the dealership shop getting something replaced or fixed. First it was the suspension, then the brake system, and then the alternator. It was also a bit of a gas guzzler. It felt like I got around 12 miles to the gallon sometimes. But when I wasn't in the shop, it was hands down one of the best cars I've ever owned. It got me from point A to point B, drove smooth, and allowed me to pack all of my camping junk inside with room to spare. I feel like the later models were a bit better. My sister had a 2000 model with no issues whatsoever.
