1993 Jeep Cherokee Country review from North America
"In a word --- phenomenal"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Air conditioner died at 200,000.
Valve cover gasket replaced at 230,000.
All hoses and belt replaced at 230,000.
New plugs at 230,000.
Flushed engine, serviced transmission 230,000.
Cruise control is dead.
General comments?
I can't say enough good things about this car. I'm the original owner. It's a two-wheel drive model. I've driven the absolute CRAP out of it, and it just keeps going.
I've run it 3 quarts low on oil with no problem.
I've had the speedometer pegged more times than I can count.
When the valve cover gasket was leaking, there was oil pooled all over the top of the engine, and smoke used to boil out from the wheel wells.
I burned the brakes up in it, and replaced the rotors.
This thing takes whatever I dish out and keeps going. Yeah sure, it uses oil and smokes a bit now, but who cares. I'll keep it forever. I plan to have it refitted in 2009 (rebuild engine and transmission, fix the a/c and cruise control).
Then I'll have it repainted and drive it another 15 years.
