1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited review from North America
"An excellent vehicle, with a good feeling and performance both on and off road"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear end axle bearings replaced 80,000 Kilometer.
Front sway bar rubber bushings replaced at 80,000 Kilometers.
Gas mileage is a little low.
General comments?
The overall feeling of a Jeep is beyond words. It is similar to your first love as a teenager.
With a 5.9 Liter (360 Cubic inch) engine power is never in doubt.
Options include power everything, from heated leather seats to rear window with a delay wiper system.
A sound system that could easily embarrass must home stereos, with controls on the steering wheel.
I have only owned this vehicle for a year and I am sure the rest of my life will be in a Jeep.
I have to learn to hide the Jeep from my wife. She has developed a passion for a vehicle, were she never displayed any preferences prior to the Jeep.
