1998 Jeep Cherokee 4X4 Sport review from North America
"Best all around SUV ever!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear cargo latch will not open.
Driver door latch snapped off.
General comments?
This vehicle has been nothing but reliable.
The engine is without a doubt the best around, and the Cherokee makes the Liberty look like a little scared kid in a playground.
My best friend recently purchased a new Liberty and he couldn't stop bragging, because on paper the 3.7L V6 has more torque and horsepower than the Cherokee, but made him take a double take as I blew by him and watched him in my rear view mirror. Not to mention the ground clearance comparison.
The Liberty is nothing more than Jeep's version of the Honda CRV. I hate when people say the Liberty is a remodelled Cherokee. The truth is they stopped making the true Jeeps and concentrated on cars with 4 wheel drive.
Cherokee's rule!!!
