1996 Jeep Cherokee Sport review from North America

"Love my bouncy red Jeep Cherokee!!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Not much has gone wrong with the Jeep, considering I don't baby it or any silly such thing. It leaks a teeny bit of oil. The stabilizer bar went out at about 60000 miles. The oil pressure gauge has been reading too high lately- don't know why. It eats gas like a beast, especially in 4WD. Its been bashed a few times, most seriously when a semi truck ran it over, ripping the front 6 inches clean off the entire front end, and smashing in the rear end. We drove it home. (No kidding, although had to have a police escort since there weren't any headlights left.) Its been fixed, and back on the road, good as new!

General comments?

I love love love my Jeep. Best car ever. My husband thinks its too bouncy and too plain inside, but I like that. Why does it need to be fancy? Its been a good boy, goes anywhere, runs like a champ with its big growly I6 engine. The body has held up really well-- not rusty, etc. Its too bad it doesn't have a shift-on-the-fly 4WD system: only problem with it in my opinion. Jeep made a mistake getting rid of the Cherokee from its lineup. Can't give the Jeep Cherokee enough raves.
