Best Car Ive Ever Owned - 1998 Jeep Cherokee
By Tom Jones - May 12 - 12:36 pmAbsolutely the best car Ive ever owned. I-6 engine is bulletproof. Only thing its ever needed is oil change every 3K. Just ticked over 153K and still runs like it did the day I bought it. Replaced clutch throwout bearing at 130K. Replaced brake rotors at same time. Otherwise its needed nothing but oil, tires, plugs, and brake pads. Back seat is small for adults due to wheel wells. Off-road performance is absolutely great. Turn radius is very tight, making it easy to drive in town and park. Easy to work on, although its never needed it other than the clutch. My only regret is that Jeep doesnt make them anymore.

Best auto I have ever owned! - 1998 Jeep Cherokee
By old_marine - February 2 - 4:54 pmWe leased this car in 1997, drove it till the lease was up then purchased it in 2001. Without a doubt the most reliable car I ever owned. It now has 387,000 miles and running strong. The only things I have had to do to it was the AC compressor which died around 360K, and the muffler/plumbing. Crankcase sensor, had to replace it 3 times, but not for 3 years now. An idiot (last cc sensor failure) convinced me I needed a valve job, so OK, 270K, go ahead. He called me to come look at something. I went, he showed me the clyinders, and you could still see the original cross hatching, and no ridges! AMAZING, that 4.0! PLESE bring it back with the 4.0 and Ill buy till I die!

Jeep Cherokee Sport - 1998 Jeep Cherokee
By Dan Jeep - January 11 - 10:00 amAll around this a more SUV for your buck. I have had zero problems with my Cherokee and plan to keep it for years to come. The inline 6 is going to run forever and is strong enough to pull my 5,000 pound camper.

V6+stick+low weight+4WD=great to drive - 1998 Jeep Cherokee
By caesar91 - December 1 - 2:00 amOwned since new, now has ~50K, runs better than ever. Great to drive with V6, stick, and lower weight than most SUVs. Strongly recommend stick-like to downshift into turns to manage SUV-roll risk while keeping up power. And it helps with mileage (18-20MPG). Only maintenance has been oil chgs & tires once. No rust/exterior problems, though it has been garaged mostly. Would get 4DR - trick to get in/out of backseat. Still not sure 4DR that would make it a family SUV-ride is pretty bumpy for munchkins in car seats. Echo all comments about 4WD & snow; with locking 4WD (not AWD with differentials) you get great power & traction.

The BEST Vehicle I have ever bought ! - 1998 Jeep Cherokee
By Jessica - May 16 - 12:53 amI bought mine back in 2005 it is 2WD and it had 90,000 on it. The price was right so I couldnt pass it up. I am so glad I bought that Jeep, this May will be 5 years that I have had it, and I have only a few repairs. I replace a water pump at 145,000, and a clutch at 180,000. Other than that it has been only your basic up keep. I now have 220,000 on it! Its still going strong, this vehicle has sat put year round in the MN cold and it has always started, not once has it not. Everything still works great in it except the air did go out at 183,000. I will never get rid of my Jeep its been awesome! It is sad to know that they did stop making them after 2000.

A Jeep is Not Just a Jeep! - 1998 Jeep Cherokee
By whyi - May 25 - 2:00 amToday,Jeeps are the most motivating and relaxing driving experience on the road. One of my sources of relaxation is taking a short or long drive in the city or on the open highway. Driving my Jeep exceeds the level of comfort and performance of my previous vehicles and helps me achieve relaxation. I LOVE MY JEEP!

couldnt of picked a better vehicle - 1998 Jeep Cherokee
By DSINKA - May 5 - 11:30 amThis vehicle could drive through a cow pasture and come out smelling like a rose in my book. Te most dependable vehicle I have ever owned. I have over 150,000 miles on it and changed a power steering pump on it; thats all. These Cherokees were made to last. I will continue to purchase this Jeep line forever.

Old look, new feel - 1998 Jeep Cherokee
By cheeser - March 23 - 2:00 amIve had my Jeep for over 4 years now, and still love to drive it. I usually tire of products quickly, but not this Jeep. Its sleek enough to pick up clients in, durable enough to handle road trips, rugged enough to go off- road.

Is this vehicle real? - 1998 Jeep Cherokee
By SAMS JEEP - December 6 - 5:16 pmBack in High School my dad bought this jeep and brought it home as a work vehicle. Traveling to and from Chicago and back to the burbs. It was given to me last year, 10 years later and with 276 thousand miles!!! on her..she still runs and sounds the SAME as ten years ago! Though the fuel economy sucks, I have never had a vehicle be so wonderful in ways never thought possible. Its more reliable than any vehicle made on earth and handles better in harsh weather than cars that cost 3 times what she did.
