1998 Jeep Cherokee Limited review from North America
"It breaks my heart that they discontinued the 4.0 engine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong with this car so far.
General comments?
This will be the third Jeep Cherokee I've owned. I still have the second one and my dad bought my first one.
In all three Jeeps I've had the 4.0 liter engine and I've been pleased every time. This engine responds extremely well and is very reliable.
In the last two Jeeps I had the 5 speed manual transmission. So I must add, for those who really like the driving experience, I highly recommend the 4.0 combined with the 5 speed manual. You won't believe what the 4.0 can really do unless you get the standard transmission paired up with it.
The only issue I've ever really had was the lack of comfort. But, because of the reliability, performance, and the fact that it's just so much fun to drive, I'll take a Jeep over a Cadillac any day!
Oh, by the way, my second Jeep is closing in on 300,000 miles.
