Sturdy, reliable car. Interior wasnt that good as it wasnt soft leather. Inside looks a bit cheap and it is a fuel guzzler. Big room at the back. Good for kids. You are up high which is good but you are not as big as the grand cherokee. Handling of wheel for me is a little difficult in turning and blind spot check was shocking for me. I would not buy it again

Performance is good with the fuel injected, DIS 4.0 liter L6 engine,which solid as a rock. Being the final year of production, fit and finish is good and all the bugs have been exorcised from this model. Whats left is a good light duty truck with 4 wheel drive that still gets 20+MPG in the city/24 highway!

This is one vehicle I really regret ever getting rid of. I loved everything about it except the small-ish rear seat and poor rear seat entry thru the skinny doors. I rarely carried passengers though. The 4.0L I6 paired with the Aisin-Warner AW4 transmission made for a blazing fast combination in a vehicle this lightweight. It would shame many the unsuspecting sports car or "ricer" that tried racing me. The ride quality wasn't very good, but it's a Jeep...Who cares? They're not supposed to ride good! MPG was excellent. I averaged 20 MPG and that was with a somewhat heavy foot. The Jeep XJ Cherokee in my opinion was one of the most indestructible vehicles ever produced, and I was saddened when they replaced it with the ugly "me too" SUV called the Liberty.

I bought my Jeep in the fall of 2005 with just under 100,000 miles on it. Loved becuase of its complact size and excellent mileage for a suv. Now have been driving it for almost 3 years and it is still running strong. Have never had to perform and maintenance on it other than periodical oil changes, brakes and tires. Very cost effective vehicle for a college guy!! Excellent in winter as well!

Very good low end torque from the 4.0 liter in-line 6 cylinder, and is damn near bomb proof. Fuel mileage isn't the greatest, but to be expectied for an SUV made for running through ruts and rough trails. Off road this truck is almost unstoppable with the right set of tires under it and feels right at home bumper deep in mud.
