1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee User Reviews

Amazing Vechile — Beautiful interior styling, smooth exterior, amazing power and last but not least amazing acceleration!!!! All that can be asked for from late model mopar. Due to the 5.9L 360ci engine on top of the all time all wheel drive set up the performance is unmatched in a older SUV, even making bad wheather conditions easy to manage. The only draw back to the 5.9L limited is the lack of MPG, but not to worry it is soon over come by the oure enjoyment of driving it.

Great Suv — Very Fast and Loud.0-60 time of 6.5 seconds. biggest draw back is the MPG which is 10 in city. on highway its about 17-18. Flooring it drops it to about 4 mpg. 6" lift on it makes it very off road capable. Nice big leather seats and sunroof. Black interior sucks for Utah. Has 190,000 miles and works pretty good. needs transmission work soon to fix the occasional hard shifts under full power.

Great Car And Always Will Be-never Disappoints-surprises You When You Lack Confidence In It — Acceleration is adequate, braking is firm, handling is good for a SUV. Build Quality is excellent-No squeaks/rattles (everything still works as new) except the 4wd has issues with the Automatic Hubs sometimes. Other than that the car is very reliable and has never broken down, malfunctioned, etc (although that is most likely due to the intense care 'Oil Change every 3 thousand miles and kept in a garage being driven easily and rarely') Appearance-Sometimes i think its a nice looking car and sometimes i wish the front end were different. I do believe that the overall contour of the front end is a little too 'Wrangler' like with the extreme box shapes and edges along with the perfectly square headlights with the protruding bumper. Cost-For an SUV and its age the cost is very good. If driven lightly you can reach up to 20 miles per gallon AVG in city/hwy (16 City), (20-25 hwy). As well as maintenance, it is fairly cheap for an SUV and never has had an unexpected mishap. The car is not thrilling to drive although you do feel a sense of security in the steering and body movements, as well as surprisingly small blind spots-that can be fixed with adjusting the side mirrors properly. even the doors are a bonus (when your in a hurry or just don't push hard enough on the door to close you are always surprised that it closes; due to the positioning of springs and hinges where the door holds itself open and swings closed)- I suppose it is 'fun' when you need to off-road though.
