  The end of an era - 1998 Jeep Cherokee
  By Old Bear - December 9 - 11:20 am

  Rugged tough vehicle with plenty of power on tap. Well built and gives you plenty of street cred. Yes, it is rather juicy but what else would you expect from a four litre engine. What I loose in fuel bills I save in general repair costs. Why on earth did they stop making them?

  4 wheeling - 1998 Jeep Cherokee
  By Ironman - November 9 - 3:30 am

  I bought mine with 64,000 miles on it. It now has 112,000 and is still going strong. Overall dependability has been very good, just regular maintenance. Yes, its loud, mileage is pretty bad & the back seat could be more comfortable, but its also very practical. Love it ! And, it never feels like its going to tip over, like other SUVs. I dont have any modifications made - all stock. I never thought I could have this much fun in an SUV !

  Its a Jeep - 1998 Jeep Cherokee
  By Rodney - November 4 - 7:33 pm

  Purchased 98 Jeep in 06 with 70,000 Ks in Australia. Have spent last 3 years towing a caravan on a mobile ministry and wouldnt replace it. Now has 135,000ks on the clock and apart from servicing hasnt cost anything. Looks like it will go forever, God willing.

  1998 Jeep is not too exciting - 1998 Jeep Cherokee
  By jshmanda - October 8 - 10:00 am

  The car has not been too bad. Bought it for the teenage kids and it survived five years. No engine problems, but the radio needed to be replaced, window regulator had to be replace, fog light switched was replaced, sometimes the dash board goes blank, and the A/C system has a leak.

  Loud and bumpy ride - 1998 Jeep Cherokee
  By ksboehm - September 6 - 2:00 am

  Overall, its a fun SUV to drive, but the quality of the ride leaves a lot to be desired. Interior is very basic- no perks. There is a lot of wind noise once you exceed about 40-50 mph and engine is also loud. Overall, I found it to be uncomfortable to drive for more than just short trips around town. The ride is very bumpy, so if youre looking for a somewhat smooth ride, this is definitely not the vehicle for you.

  Theres Only One !!!!!!!!! - 1998 Jeep Cherokee
  By XXXOnly OneXXX - August 31 - 2:00 am

  Well.... If your reading this youre probably looking to buy one. Ive owned a 1995 Cherokee Country, 2000 cherokee and now I just bought a 1998 Cherokee Sport and its a cream puff. The Jeep is a trully on/off road vehicle.EX: Blizzard of 1996 (Remember)almost 4ft of snow and guess what I was pulling Fords and Chevys out of snow banks after they spun out and ended up on the side of the road stranded.Its a rough ride but one of the most reliable vehicles on the Market.If your looking for a soft and Luxury ride buy a Lexus or Lincoln water bed.

  By stoney33lax - August 13 - 6:23 am

  This truck has been in my family since 98 now has 120,000 miles w/automatic trany truck has been so reliable I just cant sell it it wouldnt make sense. Many great memories behind the wheel truck has kept my family safe and secure everyday never have I found a snow storm that this 4x4 cant handle not the coolest ride on the road but certanly the most reliable one purchase I absolutely dont regret. My uncle also had one w/250k miles same model truck 4-speed auto. Cant wait till my trucks at 200k itll prob. Run the same it always has I love you Jeep

  Made for driving off-road - 1998 Jeep Cherokee
  By nd826 - August 2 - 2:00 am

  I bought mine as a lease return and have had only one problem - the transfer case was shot, probably because the previous person drove with PT 4WD on *all* the time (clearly not the brightest). Warranty covered it, so it wasnt so bad. Every other aspect runs beautifully - tons of power from the in-line 6 cyl. engine, and amazing off-road capability. Ive been in snow and mud up to my fenders, but my cherokee climbs right out of it. The MPG isnt bad for an SUV - 20-22 MPG on avg. for me. The ride comfort isnt great, esp. in the tight back seat, but Im happy to trade a little on-road comfort for the off-road/bad weather confidence :)

  1998 Jeep Cherokee Sport - 1998 Jeep Cherokee
  By rllr - July 31 - 8:50 am

  I bought the 98 Cherokee Sport brand new in June 98. Eleven years later it drives like new. Its engine has gained fame has incredibly reliable, the best of the best from Jeep. Ive driven it everywhere. It can go 100mph comfortably and get out of any snow bank. Its a shame they discontinued it. As someone over 6 feet tall, I really appreciate the great head room!!

  Reliable and Long-lasting - 1998 Jeep Cherokee
  By RdeB - July 30 - 1:40 am

  We are at 250,000 miles and going strong! This car has served us well, so we are keeping it, even after 10 years! The drawbacks have always been the same: it is noisy, and there is no leg room behind the drivers. We chose the Jeep because of the wide space in the back (fits a 4-ft wide object in the flat, and is high). We also like the rack on top and the comparatively small outside dimensions & lots of window area (maneuverable & easy to park), and on slippery roads in the winter we like the safety of 4WD.
