1998 Jeep Cherokee Sport review from North America
"Fast fun four wheeler"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
There have been absolutely no problems with the Jeep. The only thing I've done is take it in for regular scheduled maintenance and changed the oil every 3,000 miles. I also changed the tires as they were old.
General comments?
-I love my Jeep. Definitely one of the best vehicles ever designed (and by my favorite company AMC).
-The 4.0 is robust, powerful and has a good lineage.
-The Jeep rides a bit rough, but it's not wearing or unbearable.
-The Cherokee is surprisingly powerful, easily cruising at 80+ up steep grades with no problem. The acceleration is also very snappy and it has bested many suprised sport compact drivers at stoplights.
-The Jeep is also very competent off road. It's gone through everything I've thrown at it without fuss.
