1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee Preview summaryImage

Drivers like the 1999 Jeep Cherokee's appearance, luxury, comfort, off-road capability, and reliability. However, they feel the transmission is a little noisy and there is some sway when cornering. Poor gas mileage is also a constant complaint.

The jeep grand Cherokee in my eyes is the perfect mix of luxury and rugged fun. What makes this Jeep special is that is the last of the ZJ model and also one of the last Jeep models to stick to its roots by using the straight 6 4.0 engine.Dec 07, 2014

I like the fact that it had 4 wheel drive when you need it and not always engaged like some of the newer vehicles. It also has a part time mode for when it's a little slick out with rain or snowApr 03, 2014

These things are ROCK SOLID, with tons of room for upgrades. Extremely comfortable. From the stock 150 AMP alternator, to the Infinity speaker system, to the heated leather seats, you will fall in love with every aspect of this Jeep. They have a new Jeep commercial, showing how even despite the weather you will be the one who still makes it to work. Living in Maine, I can tell you this is the honest truth for any year Jeep with 4WD. And this Jeep has AWD. Owning a vehicle like this and expecting good MPG is like eating McDonalds 5 days a week and expecting to lose weight. There is a song by Lonestar called "What About Now" and he refers to "The last dinosaur that Detroit made". This is the 98 Jeep GC Limited. The only weak point is the original Quadra-Trac transfer case. It doesn't have a huge flaw that would make anyone stray, but part of it will wear out eventually which causes a minor issue when making extremely HARD TIGHT low speed turns, like in a parking lot. This Jeep turns heads as it is, and garners respect and enthusiasm by any passenger. With some upgrades (which I have done almost everything except lift it) this thing will get people talking to you at every gas station, even pulled over by police who just want a peak under the hood. If you ever get a chance to snag one of these up in mint condition, and don't care about MPG and want a real SUV (not a SMV, Soccer Mom Vehicle), pick one up. Or any of the other many Jeeps out there, the original and best SUV.Dec 11, 2012
