1998 Jeep Cherokee Classic review from North America
"A great inexpensive macho mini-van"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car knocks and pings using 87 octane.
The front passenger window regulator stopped working at 63,000 miles. It left me with the window half-way down (however, the motor still works).
The luggage racks were stuck since day one. I could not get one side to move at all.
The steering wheel squeaks when it is cold outside.
General comments?
The seats are very comfortable and I have not experienced any back discomfort while driving my bi-monthly 1000 mile trips.
It handles well in the mountains and during rainy weather.
I feel it to be a safe vehicle. It isn't the biggest of SUVs and I like that.
