2002 Jeep Cherokee Sport Plus review from Netherlands
"The new Cherokee, a big step in the right direction"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
No problems at all, just had the oil changed at 20.000 and 40.000 km and that is it.
So instead of seeing the dealer 3 to 4 times a year with all kind of problems (with my old Cherokee), I only see them every 9 months for an oil change.
General comments?
After owning a 1998 Cherokee diesel, we bought the new Cherokee CRD.
The 2002 Cherokee is a totally different SUV compared to the 1998 model, it is a much smoother drive and the new engine is much more powerfulll.
Also the 2002 model is much bigger, you sit much higher and this gives you a better look on the road ahead.
The 2002 model drives in a straight line without any corrections and it corners much better.
To be honest, my wife never liked to drive the 1998 Cherokee, but she loves to drive the new one and so do I.
