1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited review from North America
"Great performance, great handling, excellent 4x4. Great braking"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I bought this car for under wholesale as is. I was aware of the repairs needed when I bought it.
2-freeze plugs
Timing cover gasket
Alternator
2 U-joints
But I drove this Jeep 120 miles home the day I bought it & it ran great.
General comments?
This Jeep is FAST. Fuel mileage is not as bad as I thought it might be. It runs great on mid-grade fuel, even though it calls for premium. I get 14-18 MPG.
This Jeep is a serious 4x4. The Quadra-track is great both on & off road. The wife took it to the mountains & found herself driving faster in the windy roads that she ever has with other SUVs. She said the Jeep stuck to the road & handled great. Off-road it will out climb our Blazer 4x4 & most 4x4s we have ever owned.
