1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo review from North America

Nothing so far :) Haven't had it long enough anyways.

People who have Jeeps know it is a love hate relationship. I had a 93 Gr Cherokee for some time and then on one bad day I decided to sell it and get something different. So I ended up getting a 98 mountaineer with low miles. It was heckuva deal though. The dealer was asking for 13500. I wanted to end the deal so I said I could not pay more than 10K and hung up. She called minutes later saying hey, come pick it up!!! Anyways to cut a long story short I will never buy anything Ford again. It is for fat middleaged semi-rich who want something which is bigger than their neighbors'. So I traded it in for a 98 Gr Cherokee a week later. I missed my girl when we broke up, but I had withdrawl from the Jeep!!!

This thing is so fun to drive. I have heard about the quality and reliablilty problems, but never had any myself so far. All I did on the 93 was replacing a speed sensor. The 98 is going strong.

In the part of the country I live in, having it is next best thing to being God. It is SOOOOO good on snow covered roads. I never installed a block heater. It started right up every morning. Temps get 15 to 30 below in winter and I was parked in the lot full of snow.

It may not be as comfortable as your Buick, but it rocks. I plan to keep the 98 for a couple years and save money to buy a newer model afterwards;)
