Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Great acceleration, 4X4 system, easy setup
Cons: Backseat, lightweight, painted bumper
The Bottom Line: Great first SUV to start out with. Better than the Explorer. Definately test drive one for more than 5 minutes.

I have a 1998 Cherokee Sport 4x4 I have driven a wide assortment of vehicles. A 2000 Silverado. A 1991 Suburban. A 2000 Intrigue. A 1991 Lumina. A 1989 Regal. And many more... caddy's, fords, dodges, you name it, I've driven it! Although I can ... read more

Apr 22 '03 - Updated Jun 26 '03 

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Excellent Off-Road Capabilities; Loads of options and Jeep Durability
Cons: Need a prybar to get into the backseat
The Bottom Line: I would buy another one in a heart beat! She's totally reliable, will take me anywhere & while her gas mileage isn't that bad: 15 city/20 comb/24 highway.

Okay, so you don't have a lot of cash to spend but want something that's dependable and rugged while still being stylish and that will allow you to go places you've never seen on a map; here it is. I bought "Bailey" last summer after unwillingly being ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes 

Pros: Smooth Driving, Good 4x4 System, Cupholders (whoop whoop!), Refined
Cons: Demolishes Gas, Cramped In The Back, Painted Bumpers?, Recalls, Brakes?
The Bottom Line: Though an entry-level SUV, very complete and refined and perfect - and I mean perfect - for a college kid such as yours truly (or any other twenty-something).

In time, all good things must come to an end. High school. FreeRide.com. The cherry Fruit Roll-Up. And – I say this with a heavy heart – my aforereviewed (I made that word up, so give me credit for future usages by referencing me in a footnote) Explorer. ... read more

Not for me

Jun 17 '01 - Updated Jun 20 '01 

Author's Product Rating: 30 Recommended: No 

Pros: Ground clearance, shift on the fly four wheel drive.
Cons: small back seat, unreliable
The Bottom Line: If you baby it, it might last you over 100000 miles without major problems. I doubt it though.

I am required to drive a four wheel drive vehicle for my work. It's a cherokee dog. Although I do not own this vehicle I spend several hours a day in one. This vehicle only has 30,000 miles on it and it already sounds like it wants to die. We run it ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 30 Recommended: No 

Pros: Solid, dependable, good SUV value
Cons: Harsh ride, unstable
The Bottom Line: Don't buy an SUV, but if you do, a Cherokee is a great value.

I bought my 1998 Cherokee Sport in mid 1998, just before the end of the model year. I've put almost 60,000 miles on it since then. It has been dependable and has run almost without complaint. The brakes had to be replaced very early, but the second set ... read more

Pros: Excellent handling in bad weather, reliable starts and good gas mileage (for SUVs)
Cons: electrical component failures, cramped rear seating
The Bottom Line: I would recommend the 1998 Jeep Cherokee with a warning of possible problems with electrical components...but the benefits outweigh the faults.

I bought a brand new 1998 4WD, 6 cylinder, 4.0 litre Jeep Cherokee Classic, because I was so impressed with my previous base model 2 door, 2WD drive manual transmission 1992 Cherokee. This vehicle has all the options except leather interior and the ... read more
