Reviewed a 2001 Jeep Classic 4-Door RWD on Sep 25, 2008

This is my Aunt's SUV, originally owned by my Uncle. I merely rode in it a couple times. It is a 2001 model with not even 40,000 miles on it, and it is in beautiful shape! It is a very nice, but very snug vehicle, at least for a 6-foot tall guy. The engine is the rock solid 4.0 liter Inline-6 engine mated to an automatic transmission. The handling is responsive enough, but being a Jeep, it is very truck-like in terms of the ride. The interior is comfortable enough, but still rather tight, and the backseat is very cramped for someone my size. I even have trouble getting through the back doors because they are kind of narrow. The Jeep has power windows and locks, cruise control, etc, as well as an aftermarket CD player with an iPod hookup. The vehicle was formerly owned by the Japanese Consolate or something, and it was purchased by some guy for his daughter, who later sold it to pay for his daughters college. My uncle was the one he sold it to. My uncle had too many cars and sold the Jeep to his twin sister after her 1998 Chevy Monte Carlo was totaled. The funny thing about this Jeep is that it does not have 4-wheel drive. I absolutely love Jeep Cherokees, but my only complaint is the "snug" interior. Also, my uncle powdercoated a set of older Jeep wheels to match the paintjob and put them on this truck. There is one other fault that you will see in the negatives section.
