1998 Jeep Cherokee Sport review from North America
"It's earth-shattering that they have discontinued the Cherokee"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The exhaust Manifold Developed a crack at 103,000.
Fuel Filter replaced at 102,000.
Oil guage sending unit replaced at 105,000.
Rear main seal developed a leak at 101,000 and was replaced.
General comments?
I love this car and wouldn't trade it for anything else, except another Cherokee of course!
It performs very well even though it is getting older. I can still blow off a number of cars at a stop light!
It has a solid feel to it when driving it. I've been in some import SUV's and it feels like your driving a toy made of paper. The Cherokee however feels like a sturdy metal car.
This is my first Cherokee and I would buy another one in a heartbeat if they were still manufactured. I would not even test drive it, just walk in and say "give me a new one of these!"
