Great ride
Date: Oct 02, 2008
Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Shepherd, TX)
Vehicle: 1989 Jeep Cherokee XJ

Summary:
I have had my xj for a year now an have been stuck twice an rolled it once. It is a kick ass ride. I am hard on it a it has never let me down the first time I got stuck was cause I ran out of gas. The second time I got high centered. When I rolled it I was tryin to climb up a steep river bed an caught some roots withe the rear tires. But other than that shes got me to hell an back

Strengths:
4.0 motor has lots of power, handles tight spaces well,

Weaknesses:
needs lower gears
 
 
JEEPS ROCK
Date: Dec 26, 2007
Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Boston,MA)
Vehicle: 1998 Jeep Cherokee XJ

Summary:
Well i've owned a Jeep Cherokee for a few years now and I can't say I have any problems with it.Its an outstanding little Jeep especially for what you pay for them, I think I paid about 4,000 for mine which looking back was a pretty good price. I have owned a JEEP wrangler and in my opinion the cherokee is much better than the wrangler simply because the cherokee has more intirior room.if anyone were to ask me wheather or not a jeep cherokee was a good investment or not i would tell them that the jeep cherokee was probly the best vehicle to get the most out of their money.

Strengths:
1.its just an awesome vehicle
2.it rides great
3.mods are on the cheap side
4.parts are easy to come by
5.its just fun to take it 4 wheeling

Weaknesses:
1.it can get pretty expensive to feedd the JEEP
2.acceloration is kind of on the slow side
 
 
Cockroach tough jeep
Date: Jul 30, 2007
Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (New Port Richey, FL)
Vehicle: 1998 Jeep Cherokee XJ

Summary:
I recently purchased a 1998 Jeep Cherokee 4x4 as my first car. It is the second Jeep Cherokee that my family has owned, The first met its end when it was side swiped by a van on my way to school. Both myself and my sister(she was the driver at the time) walked out without a single scratch and a sore backs. Said Chero suffered meeting with the back of a car, took out a large road sign before going air born into a ditch on the side of the road and glancing up against a telephone pull. Me and my sister both walked out, shaken quite a bit but the only mark recieved by either of us was a scratch from the seat belt on my sisters neck.
Needless to say, our Jeep was totaled, all four tires popped. When my father arrived he drove said jeep out of the ditch and up on the road. Now tell me that isn't a tough truck.
My sister replaced her lost ride with a Grand, and when it came time, my choice was a Cherokee, I was barely even interested in looking at any other kind of car. A cross country road trip and a 2 or 3 inch lift is in it's future.

Strengths:
Drives like a car when on the road, nice stiff steering and gas pedal.
The low compression 4.0 liter engine means that this thing will last forever.
It's a 4x4.
Parts are cheap and will be around forever.
You would have to drive it off a cliff in order the break it.
Comfy Seats
Mods are cheap

Weaknesses:
The back seat is a bit snug compared to my sister's Grand Cherokee.
Comes with the mounting gear for only a temporary tire.
I have to compress the fork on my mountain bike to get it to fit in the back.
Gas mileage isn't all the great, but comparable to any other similar vehicle out there.
 
 
Life Long Gearheads First Jeep
Date: Jan 13, 2007
Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Washington PNW)
Vehicle: 1998 Jeep Cherokee XJ

Summary:
A 1998 Jeep Cherokee is my first Jeep. I am surprised at how well it performs for only being a 4.0 inline six. I don't go "wheeling" rather use it as a every day commuter. I really like the basic body lines verses all of the goofy lookig SUVs out there today. It rides and stops very well, it is small enough, that it can be parked anywhere a medium size passenger car will fit.

Strengths:
Rugged mono-beam axles, a very dependable and powerfull motor, no blind spots, comfortable seating for driver, Non-yuppy looking body lines. No cheesey looking plastic hanging on the sides of this Jeep, like the Grand Cherokee. This rig is a well kept secret.

Weaknesses:
Fuel economy is about 15 to 18 MPG at best.
It won't appeal to yuppies that want big stupid looking SUVs with 24 inch useless bling wheels.
 
 
1997 cherokee 4 door
Date: Aug 07, 2006
Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Ontario, Canada)
Vehicle: 1997 Jeep Cherokee XJ

Summary:
The 4,0 litre cherokee should have never been taken out of production. This machine is a rock solid performer, I have this and a commander, the cherokee's off-road performance is great,and the4wd system rock's. The 4 litre six is very reliable, and I have had no surprises, just regular wear and tear stuff, The body is still in a-one condition even after some pretty punishing off-road use (hunting and fishing etc).

Strengths:
If it aint broke don't fix it,the longevity of the model speak's for itself

Weaknesses:
None that I can think of.
