1997 Jeep Cherokee TD Sport review from UK and Ireland
"Does everything it should and more"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing as yet.
The car has a little wear on the seats which can be expected.
The previous owner put alloy wheels and tires that are too big on it causing the wheels to rub when the steering wheel is turned, very annoying when trying to maneuver around a car park.
Petrol gage can be a bit temperamental, looks empty when you should have gallons left, but I don't find that to difficult to deal with, just switch engine off and back on and it rectifies its self.
General comments?
No complaints with the car at all.
Cabin is roomy and comfortable, enough space in the back for 3 adults. Dashboard is easy to use, no hidden switches or dials.
Its used to pull 2 ponies in a 2 horse trailer which it does with ease in all weather. It seems to enjoy being taken off road and thrown about a bit.
I find my fuel consumption to be around 40 mpg (its the 2.5 TD Sport) which is better than expected although it does use more if you put your foot down, which is incredibly hard not to do because it likes to go fast and cruises at 80 miles an hour.
No complains so far, although if anyone knows where I can get a load space cover and brackets for my boot I would greatly appreciate you dropping me a line at tofties23@hotmail.com.
