  • Over 200,000 and still the best - 1999 Jeep Cherokee
    By -

    I got this great suv in march of 2010 for my first vehicle. I love the style and ride with the 4.0 L 6 cylinder. Its easy to drive and great for a new driver. Mine has over 200,000 miles and still sounds great. I wish jeep still made these because they are the best.

    I have not had one single major problem with my classic cherokee. When I compare this Jeep to other peoples driving experiences I feel very lucky because I have had far less problems with it than anyone I know. My cherokee has been more loyal to me than some friends of mine! I love my Cherokee, and I am saddened I wont be able to buy a new one when her time is up; but at the same time I am proud to know in a few years that my Jeep will be known as a real classic.

  • Okay so far... - 1999 Jeep Cherokee

    "Inherited" Cherokee Sport when my dad passed away with 32k miles - so far been very happy with it. Quite a change from a 4 cyl. Nissan Sentra (including the gas bill)! Great acceleration, 4WD worked very well in slushy mess on steep hills. Wish fuel economy was better and back seat had more leg room. Other than that, good "utilitarian" SUV.

    My parents bought my 99 Cherokee sport in 2000, drove it for about 5 years, and then handed it down to me. It now has 140,0000 miles on it. I have no complaints about how it runs, never had any problems with that. However, the ac has stopped working, the front speakers blew out, the rear windshield wiper doesnt work, and the handle that pops that hood was so sticky, that mechanics changing the oil completely pulled it off and now the hood wont latch and I have to put a ratchet strap around it to keep it down. It gets me from place to place, but thats about it.

  • CANT BEAT IT!!! - 1999 Jeep Cherokee
    By -

    I bought this jeep used with 26,000 on it and since then put 10,000 more. I have had no problems with the Jeep at all. I do notice a little bit of the clear coat starting to flake off but the Jeep dealer will take care of it. Before buying the cherokee I test drove a few other trucks around the same size and this was by far the best overall. It has plenty of power great off road capabilities and just fun to drive.

  • An old work horse - 1999 Jeep Cherokee

    Let me just start off by saying I love my JEEP! And there is no denying it this baby is a Jeep. Some people think the only real Jeeps are Wranglers but thats not the case, this bad boy even stock has the capability to do some pretty amazing things off road. The best part about this jeep is that while being able to take it for a fun weekend camping or 4x4ing is nice and easy its also a great car to drive on the road,in the city or on the highway. I have a 99 cherokee sport in automatic (not listed on this site if im not mistaken) and she has over 230,000 miles with nearly no major repairs aside from a starter and a new ac pump. And of course some body damage fixes but that my fault not hers

  • Great 4x4 - 1999 Jeep Cherokee

    I bought this new in 99 and now have 116,000 mi on it and have not had anything go wrong, love the 4x4 goes anywhere and through anything, 3 snow drifts, no problem!

  • Love my Jeep - 1999 Jeep Cherokee
    By -

    I love my Jeep! This is the best, most reliable, most fun vehicle I have ever had. Even more fun than a BMW 320I (had one of those -- thats another story). I have had this vehicle for 6 years; bought it new, never had a problem. The only time it was in the shop was when I hit a deer and wanted to get the grill fixed. Gas mileage is great for an SUV. I constantly go 320 miles or more on a tank. If its a road trip Ive gotten as much as 450 miles a tank. Not too bad! Love the Cherokee, I wish they would not have discontinued it, the Liberty is too cutesy, not my style. Great overall vehicle.

  • Die hard Jeep fan - 1999 Jeep Cherokee
    By -

    Absolutely love my Jeep, I bought it from the construction co that I work for when it was 3 years old & the lease was up. Had 60K miles on it then. Has 185,000 now, March 09. rarely had problems with it. Its been all over the beaches of NC & VA & thru the snow in PA. handled well in every situation. Other than changing belts when they get worn, and changing the oil faithfully, I dont normally put any money in it. I have had to replace a window motor & brakes once, but thats really about it. My daughter will be 16 in a year & I plan on handing this reliable car down to her. & she cant wait!! I wish there was another Jeep I liked as much as this one that I could replace it with.

  • Love it - 1999 Jeep Cherokee

    Yes, I love it. Kicks ass in the snow! No major problems, just power windows were replaced. Always reliable and fun to drive. Has the feel of a car, but has the room of a wagon.
