1998 Jeep Cherokee Sport review from North America

"A Good SUV that needs to run off water"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

For the short time that I had this Jeep, nothing went wrong with it. But like I said, a short time.

The only thing was I would always be late for oil changes (7000). I drove about 3500 miles a month.

Gas mileage is a issue that needs to be discussed because it's not what the manual says that it is. It's about 8 miles in the city and 12 miles on the highway.

General comments?

This was my first SUV. I wanted a '98 Cherokee Sport because my cousin had one. I liked the way Sport was written across both side fenders. One thing I didn't like was the the bumper and the black part over the wheels was being faded by the sun. The part over the wheels (its on the fender) looked very ashy and only turned black when you put Armor All on it.

Well, I lost my baby (Jeep) in July of 2002 in an accident. I was T-Boned by an old station wagon who blew their stop sign at 50 mph. They hit me on the passenger side and I rolled over onto the roof landing on the sidewalk. TALK ABOUT SCARY!!! I had to climb out from under a caved in Jeep, laying on its roof top. I'm alright. The Jeep had no hope for restoration. TOTALED MEANS TOTALED. I wish I had pics, but I didn't take any.

Now, I got a 2000 Jeep LEMON Cherokee. I should have went another way.
