2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport review from North America
"Fast and fun, especially in the mud!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A rear passenger tire went flat, and Walmart fixed it.
I went muddin' and lost a center cap; dealer said it would cost $50 for a new one, but got a set of 4 from ebay for $15.
A/C sometimes blows warm air, which I guess is a common problem on this model.
Headlights were kinda weak, so I bought some KC's.
Nothing really major.
General comments?
I've had the car for a year and have had no major problems with it.
For an SUV it gets up pretty quickly, I think it is funny when I can do donuts on dry pavement and my friend's 5.0L Mustang can't.
I have a 2WD model and am AMAZED by how well it goes in the mud. It beats a 4WD S10 Blazer or Jimmy any day.
Gas mileage is not so good, which is to be expected, but in the winter I was getting about 11MPG, and at $3/gallon that's almost $60 to fill up! Now its warming up so it's back to 16MPG.
I am very happy with the reliability and performance of my Jeep, and my last car was a Civic SI.
