1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4.0 litre petrol

Summary:

Generally comfortable off-roader

Faults:

Faulty tick-over at 10,000 miles - took 18 months to fix.

Rear differential noisy at 30,000 miles and needed expensive service.

Seized brake caliper at 50,000 miles.

Over-tightened handbrake caused wheel to overheat at 52000 miles.

General Comments:

Drives and corners well for a 4x4, but obviously a serious off-roader so is not so good on the road - the ride is quite bouncy.

Quite quick generally, and does 20mpg (imperial) overall which I don't think is bad.

I felt badly let down by the servicing - the few problems I had took far too long to fix.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4.0

Summary:

Own one once, great fun

Faults:

Drivers seatbelt inertia lock has come on a couple of times.

General Comments:

Excellent 4x4.

Heavy on the front tyres.

Commanding comfortable ride.

After 12,000 miles the engine really got better, now holds it's own when pulling away.

Not a lot of boot space however.
