1999 Jeep Cherokee User Reviews

Oh Ya Buddy — Put too small of a lift on.. shoulda gone with 8.5 first instead of wasting my money. 4.5 has worked good so far though.. just wanna go bigger. Wish it had less miles but runs like a top. Love my heep

Primary Use: Commuting to work

Jeep — I like the 4x4 it is solid and gets me out of the snow well the only problem is that the rear doors are to small. it gets great milage for a 4L and mine has over 135000 and is still running like it was new

An American Icon... — The Jeep's inline 6 gave it plenty of pick-up and go. The braking was sure but must be careful without the ABS. The handling was decent with a tendency to drift right and the body rocked in strong winds. I loved the commanding view as the seat rode high. The ride quality, however, was noisy and bumpy. Build quality was okay with few, early electronic problems fixed under full warranty. The Jeep lasted 135,000 miles before I sold it. Maintenance was okay after fixing the early problems. However, it got costly toward the end. Combined with poor mileage, I gave it up due to the amount of driving I do. The Jeep was always fun to drive because it was full of character. With it's wood-trimmed, leather interior; it contrasted nicely with its handsome, rugged appearance. Overall, though, I would not recommend it unless you needed it for the 4-wheel drive feature. There were better options for the money.

Jeep — I liked the interior room; that I could fold the seats down for hauling cargo, that it was easy to get in to & out of - very important for a tall person. It turned on a dime & was incredibly helpful on icy Boston days. Downside was it came from Seattle and had no A/C. Mileage wasn't really an issue, I didn't have a long commute at the time.

Jeep Cherokee, Great Car!!! —

Overall performance is great! est. 190hp and its only 4900lb. so it has great acceleration. It brakes well and evenly. It dosen't handle like a Porche, but who would expect it too? Internally it is a very well built, sturdy vehicle. Transmission shifts well, and it transfers to 4wd smoothly. The engine is great and it runs very well. As for interior trim, it is no luxury sedan but its not ment to be. It gets the job done. It isn't as sound proof as many cars today (the engine is a little loud) but I could care less. Personally I love the boxy looking body and the gray magnesium wheels. Altough some people may prefer a sleeker vehicle. There are so many used '95-'01 cherokees on the market that they are really cheap. Ours has 84,000 miles on it and is in near perfect condition. The best part is that we only payed $5,200. Its not amazing on gas but its not a V8 guzzler. It does about 20 highway and 17 city. It is really fun to drive (you can go WHERE EVER you want too). Overall I am very pleased with this car and will buy another when it meets it's demise.
