1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport review from North America
"A girls best friend!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced transfer case at 140,000 miles (due to a bit too much playing in the mud)
Replaced rear-end & rear brake shoes at 190,000 miles.
Replaced thermostat at 191,000 miles.
Other than that in 73,200 miles I have: replaced all 4 tires only once, performed regular oil changes and 1 tire rotation.
It currently needs: valve cover gasket.
General comments?
I have owned my Jeep for only 3 years and have put 73,000 miles on it. It has been the best vehicle I have ever owned!
Sure, it may not ride like a town car... but that's not why I bought it! I wanted something rough and rugged that didn't get too bad gas mileage (19 mpg isn't bad!)
It goes in the snow and handles bad weather conditions with ease.
Plenty of room for cargo... come on... I had my Jeep when I moved home from college... let me tell you, being a girl, I had a lot of stuff! It all fit! :)
The exterior is still in awesome condition... other than the one dent that I put on it... I backed into a tree!
This had been my best investment ever! I love my Jeep!
