My Jeep Cherokee has been a great car. It works well in the snow and rain and living in an area with four distinct seasons, that's essential. The engine and transmission has run smoothly since I bought the car used a couple of years ago. I've had a few electrical problems but, all things considered, they're minor. The check engine light comes on frequently, and when I take it to the dealer they turn it off. The engine doesn't actually need to be checked. There's just a short in the light. Unfortunately I think the car's electrical problems aren't limited to the short. The battery drains quickly. The car is roomy. It has a sizable backseat and also a large cargo area. The back seats fold forward to create more room in the rear. They don't fold flat so it's not as much as it could be if they did. It has an average stereo. The heater and air conditioner are sufficient. Overall I'd say the car is just fine and that's exactly what I look for in a car. The gas mileage is okay. There are definitely more efficient cars on the road but those are also more expensive. I don't go offroad much but I know it handles offroad. My brother in law sometimes uses the car for that.
