Pros

I like the shape and performance, the drive is comfortable and smooth, plenty of power, quiet drive, all mod cons on car as standard (Except Sat Nav) and for a 4 litre SUV its quite good on fuel.

Cons

No Jeep Dealerships Near Me.

1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0 Wj — Great all round 4x4. Great performance, plenty of power, quick acceleration, good brakes, handles well, good overall build quality, built to last, good looking car, nice shape (not boxy) nice interior (Full leather and wood) nice alloy wheels, cheap to average on part prices, I found it cheap to insure (SureTerm Direct) As for gas & mileage? aroud town 11 - 14 to a gallon but on a run (Ie ..Motorway) 22 - 26 to a gallon, remember this is a big & heavy 4x4 soI think its quite good on fuel. Maintenance / service £90 -£250. Fun Factor....Fantastic.

Perfect On And Off The Road — Is unhindered or unobstructed winter driving fun? hell yes! I own the whole damn road. with a built motor and lifted suspension, this rig is a blast to drive. only thing its missing is a built transmission to match. but with the old one at 155,000 miles and still going, it doesnt need one.

Cant Complain — First year of htis body style all im going to say if it has some kinks that probably needed to be worked out before it left the factory....shock mounts make noise even after being chnaged and water cooling system is not very durable and went thru new water pump, fan, and thermastat..also ac system has leak and have heard its a common problem..but other than the the interior is very comfortable and gets fairly good gas milage for size... plus chryslers stereos are awsome from the factory

4.7 V8 — 4WD SUV with a V8. Nice car, except the parts are expensive. Example: the electric door mirror was broken and I wanted to buy a new one. 400 euros!! Luckily there is internet and I am able to buy the part from the US at a more reasonable price. And the fuel consumption. A big car with a V8, full time 4WD and automatic gearbox = oil companies love you and your wallet.

F&c — We have had this Jeep in the family since 2001, and before that it was a lease vehicle. Locally owned, our family as enjoyed its function, power, ability to traverse snowy grounds, sand, and more over the years. Fun car which we have enjoyed, and continue to. The V8 is silky smooth, and has power to spare - torque. Pulls a full sized boat up Cuesta Grade at 75mph w/o blinking. Amazing! The full time 4x4 allows for extra traction on wet road trips and on our ventures to the Sierra Nevada's on snowy trips - our Jeep made this a joy. The blacked out privacy glass, also OEM, and cover in th rare makes for a clean look and privacy in hauling items. One thing we always apprecited in this vehicle was the ability of the rear seats to lay down, making a perfectly flat (flat) surface in the rear of the Jeep. Quite the hauler. Quiet fun. Quite nice! Great SUV!

My Favorite Car — I've loved driving my truck. This is by far my favorite car. Sorry to see it go. This Jeep will get you through anything. The interior is roomy and comfortable. The power under the hood is amazing. I have no doubt it will go another 150K!

Great Sport Look — I love the heated leather seats with climate control. Great rear seats that fold down for cargo space with a wide opening hatch to fit the biggest items you would ever want to haul back to the house. Four wheel drive comes in handy.

Fantastic! — I have no problem driving here in New England during or after snow storms. This SUV handles great, easily passing cars with front wheel drive stalled on the Hwy trying to go up a hill during snow storms. 245K miles to date (purchased used with 35K miles), mostly Hwy. Just replaced the brakes for the third time........yes third time. The interior an exteria are still in very good shape / no rust / one small tear in drivers side leather seat. If this engine was to finally go today I'd consider replacing the motor and stay with this SUV.

Fun Suv To Own And Drive — My kids love the Jeep and I miss driving it! We have Ipod/Iphone hook up on the stereo! Great sound. The V8 is a must in a Jeep. She has seen a lot of snow and has yet to get stuck. My hubby uses it as a daily driver and he loves that it gets out of the way of other vehicles. We've used it to pull up old hedges/bushes that housed bugs and bees. We tied a logging chain to the tow hitch and the bushes and pulled them out of the ground with out fail! That was fun. We've driven her up the entire east coast in snow, sleet and rain. From Bangor Maine to Miami Florida and in between. If the Jeep had a 3rd row, Oh my god, that would be the ultimate! Acceleration is great in the Jeep. Never hesitates to eat the road. Great for old and young drivers. Having the tow hitch is a great feature for bike racks. I can't say enough good things about my Jeep. When we first got the Jeep, it failed inspection because the battery wasn't adequate. We replaced it for a heavy duty battery that we've had in for years now with no issue. We had to replace the blend doors for heat and ac. Got a deal for $800 when it would have cost $1200. Have to replace the tweeters every 2 years or so and the factory front speakers unless you get a non factory speaker fyi. Great vehicle.
