1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited review from North America
"Its fast, pretty, reliable, and comfortable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Looking back the only thing that I can think of is the power window on the right side went out costing me 450 to fix.
And that's it
REALLY!
General comments?
I bought this jeep as a trade in over my 1995 ford explorer which was also very realible, because I wanted something newer and comfortable. with the 5.9 in it and an aftermarket exhaust, its really loud. its incredibally quick, especially since I had the 4 wheel drive unit reworked so its part time 2 wheel drive, like them older cherokees. I can often beat many racers out there who are just begging for it, and oh boy do they get it! I drop the hammer and roast the back tires and off I go! is is also sooooooooo comfortable, the leather is soft, the wood looks nice, the heated seats warm quickly, and its generally cozy. the stock sound system is also very good, and I am actually very impressed with it.
The only bad thing I can say about it is that it is way to easy to speed. I have gotten quite a few tickets in this thing because it is such a smooth runner and you really don't feel the speed in it. I have since learned to be more..aware. driving another car than my own is annoying and since I feel the speed, I often travel under the speed limit, thinking I am speeding.
I plan on running this thing into the ground, which might not take long as I am planning on addin a 3 inch lift and 33's rubber, so I will basically make it into a road vehicle to use in place of my old explorer for hunting.
Good job on these ones jeep!
