1987 Jeep Cherokee review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well not much has really gone wrong since I got it, at least with the motor. After the years we've had this Jeep, it's mostly just rust that's the problem.
The coolant system sucks though, there's no radiator cap, and the coolant reservoir bottle doesn't release pressure like it should. It eventually cracks.
General comments?
This Jeep motor is amazing; a straight six is the way to go. It gets decent gas mileage, and has great power to pull things.
