Acceleration is awesome along with braking. handling sucks. It's a Jeep so it always squeaks and rattles. The interior is clean and the exterior has some battle scars. Gas mileage is decent, 16 mpg. My Cherokee is fun to drive on and off the road.  If you follow me, you're not gonna make it!

Pros — a fun car to drive
Cons — gas mileage sucks

This thing really is a great car for a first car, or to have
for a lifetime. I feel like i can drive this thing forever
and it won't quit on me. With the 3'' lift i have on it it
makes it very fun to drive, and the approval of other
jeep owners is also a cool perk.

Pros — Great reliability, driver friendly, you can drive it into the ground
Cons — Kinda sluggish, and brakes are iffy, but these are just simple things to get around

acceleration is really good. hops right out of the lights.
its build is nice and solid ever since the front end was reallined.
exterior appearance is a bit boring. but that will be fixed pretty quick.
interior could use some seat covers.
I love driving it. gets around 20 miles to the gallon.

Pros — handling. comfort factor. breathing room in the lane. climate control. gas pedal response. brakes. clutch. torque. traction.
Cons — tires. rims. trim.

This was a very fun car, with lots of memories with car trips to the Florida Keys and Miami Beach.    

Pros — Solid looks, lit toggle switches for power windows.
Cons — While not as unreliable as my Mini Cooper, this one was definitely a problem child.

It's not quite like the one in the picture. It's black, and the lift kit isn't quite as high, but I still love it! It's easy to drive and has yet to tip over on me. :]

Pros — The lift kit makes it look better than a regular Cherokee, it's easy to drive, and it runs well. There's no big dents or scratches, either.
Cons — The lift kit could cause it to flip if it's turned too sharply, the inside smells a bit odd (nothing bad, just... different), and there's something wrong with the battery it has now so we have to jump start it... But that's easily fixed.

There's something to be said about a design that barely changed in 15
years. There's a certain beauty to the Cherokee's rugged lines. A little lift
and tires, and you can tackle a lot off road too.

Pros — Pretty unstoppable, takes a beating and keeps ticking.
Cons — Gremlins, horrible gas milage.

From road running to mud running and everything in between, this Jeep has been there and done that, and lived to do it again.
With a 4.0L I6 with 190hp 225 ft-lbs, 2 speed transfercase, this Jeep is the go anywhere, climb anything.

Pros — 4WD is more sure footed then a mountain goat.
Cons — There are none

Although it is a very handy car in the winter months, it is a financial burden. The thing drinks gas like a thirsty mallard drinks water. I am also not a fan of high riding SUVs. I prefer the low to the ground and smooth handling of a compact car.

Pros — Great in the winter and can drive over anything. Also, has 210,000+ miles on it and is still going strong.
Cons — Gas guzzler. Rough ride.
