1987 Jeep Cherokee Laredo review from North America
"An outstanding vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear differential gears replaced.
Oil leaks became significant after about 195000 miles.
General comments?
This jeep has been a joy to own.
Still, after 214000 miles, the factory clutch has never been replaced!
Finding a good cup holder that dosen't interfere with the parking brake is a challenge.
