2001 Jeep Cherokee

"I have owned several Jeep Cherokees over many years. I am currently driving a 1998 Cherokee Classic that I bought in 2001. It had 54,000 mi on it then. Now it has 207,000. I have had no major mechanical problems. I have had to replace the radiator (as well as 2 other of my Cherokees) and I have had some problems with the power locks from the Driver's door controls. Electrical set up with Chrysler products is always interesting. I live on gravel and this Jeep will go through Mud, Snow, Off-road anything with no problem. A plus too is, this Jeep has the Part-time AND Full-time 4WD option. This option is getting hard to find but is VERY handy when you are driving slick-dry-slick-dry, etc. road conditions as you don't have to move it back and forth between 2WD & 4WD. And the 4.0 straight six is indestructible. My Jeep uses no oil and I have had NO engine issues and I haven't been too good about timely oil changes."

Can't say anything bad

I can't say anything bad about my ownership of my 2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4x4. It has been extremely reliable. I just had my 90K tune up and other than changing my belts, brakes, and spark plugs I haven't had any surprises (knock on wood). It's not the sexiest car on the road but it certainly looks better than a lot of what I see that is out there today. The ride gives the driver good feedback but can't be pushed too hard on curves. It is the most solid SUV I've ever ridden in the snow. This last winter here in the Northwest it was one of the only SUV's that safely navigated our steep hills. It's a timeless classic that is reasonable to maintain and I will continue to own especially for inclement weather.
