1996 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4x4 review from North America
"Excellent and reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong.
Just general maintenance.
General comments?
Back seat is uncomfortable and lacks leg room.
Short wheelbase makes it ride rather rough over all but very smooth roads, but this IS a sport utility vehicle after all.
The 4.0/5 speed combination offers great performance and reasonable economy (21-22 miles per gallon on the highway).
Antiquated design, but I love it anyway!
Relatively easy to do my own regular maintenance.
