1994 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4x4 review from North America
"A rock solid reliable SUV. It's a shame it's not made anymore"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Firstly, this is the second Jeep Cherokee we've owned. The other being a 1990 Cherokee Laredo. Same engine, etc. The engine on these Jeeps are as good as it gets. Reliable and relatively trouble free if you maintain them correctly. With Both Jeeps, cooling has been the issue. And undersized cross flow radiator is not sufficant to cool in temperatures exceeding 95 degrees. The is the only real expense we've had maintenance wise is replacing radiators on both.
General comments?
The Cherokee Sport is not as well built a vehicle, finish wise, as the Laredo was. The trim in the interior is chintzy and easily breaks as opposed to the Laredo which still looked new when we sold it with 200,000 miles on it.
The performance is better with peppier acceleration with the high output engine. But needs premium fuel for best performance and mileage as did the older 1990 Laredo.
