1987 Jeep Grand Wagoneer review from North America
"Worth it in every aspect, I'd buy it again and again if they still made it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing at all, owned by an Elderly Couple in Georgia since new and has had what some consider "excessive regular maintenance" for example they had all fluids flushed and changed every 3000 miles since new, replaced timing chain, gear, oil pump, radiator and trans-cooler every 100,000 miles as well as other small things I don't have the time to list. I am going to keep up what they started so it will keep on keeping on.
No rust either and the paint is still shiny so I am not sure if it has been repainted or not.
General comments?
The seats are the most comfortable I've ever sat in and do not get lumpy or uncomfortable as I commute 300 miles a day in it.
I love the gas mileage believe it or not which is almost a solid 20mpg regardless of where or how I drive.
The 4 wheel drive is great because it doesn't do that weird steering wheel yanking thing other 4 wheel drives do when you turn.
The air conditioner is ice cold and the heat is very warm however it's only designed to come out of the floor vents.
The rear window is convenient because you can put the key in, turn it, and the tailgate folds down to reveal a pickup truck sized bed and you can even remove the rear seat or fold it up for large cargo!
The only negative comment I have about this is that when you drive it the Grand Wagoneer feels so long and also makes you feel like you are taking up a whole entire lane of road.
