  Best car ever! - 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By MOD and ANGRY - June 28 - 11:23 pm

  My aunt bought the car new in late 92, then sold it to my grandfather in 99, and he then gave it to me as my first car. The car now has 220K miles on it. Ive only had to replace the valve gasket and the brake booster. I dont think Ive ever driven a more reliable car. I havent taken very good care of it, I know the rest of my family abused it, but it still keeps running. Im now considering selling it to pay for repairs on my Volvo S60. I wished I would have just invested money in fixing up my Jeep instead of buying the Volvo.

  Wonderful vehicle - 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By bobj99 - March 2 - 12:01 pm

  This is a 318 CI (5.2 L) V8, but they dont have that selection on the drop-down menu. I bought this Jeep used in 1999, and now have more than 288,000 km on it. Im in the process of selling it after 15 years of great service. The only reason Im selling is because we no longer need two vehicles -- the Jeep is as good as ever. There has never been any work done on the vehicle except regular oil changes and maintenance, tire and brake-pad changes, etc. It can tow heavy loads in mountainous areas with no problem. It burns a bit more gas than modern vehicles with smaller engines, but its not too bad, in my opinion. A Jeep like this in decent shape will continue to provide good driving.

  With TLC and will last 200Kmi - 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By 5SPZJ4x4 - February 24 - 10:00 am

  Ive owned this 93 ZJ Jeep as well as an 88 XJ. Both really have given me good service. ZJ handles and rides more confidently than the XJ(as well as Explorer, Blazer,..others in its class). At 150K have had some high maintenance bills but due to neglect of poor upkeep by prev. owners not the product itself. Happy w/ my 5-SPEED ZJ (1 of apprx. 1400)...just ashame there wasnt a demand for more of them!

  Excellent Jeep - 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By John - July 23 - 6:36 pm

  I bought this jeep with 113K miles on it, and it is solid. Right now it is 17 years old going on 18 and I have never been more satisfied with any suv like this one. It is by far the best suv in the snow (as long as you get the 4x4 of course). Gas mileage is definitely a downfall on this vehicle as I get only about 11-13 mpg in the city and maybe 15 on the hwy. Besides the occasional repairs I done on this vehicle, it is still running on the original, engine, transmission, and even alternator. Jeep nailed it with this grand cherokee, I look forward to purchasing maybe an 05 or 06 in the upcoming months.

  What More Could You Ask For? - 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By espo - July 21 - 2:00 am

  I purchased this Jeep in 95 with a little over 40,000 miles on it. Since then I have put on a ton of miles with little or no problems. It now has over 287,000 miles on it and it still runs strong. I have had to replace certain items, like a water pump, the front drive axles, and the catalytic converter, but I have had nothing but great experiences with this Jeep. As long as you do the required maintenance, these vehicles will run forever!

  I have very little in the way of repairs. Ive had a few of the plastic pieces fall off over the years. Absolutly nothing major.

  Blown Engine,sick sad and miserable - 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Irene - June 1 - 3:33 am

  I loved the Jeep. It was driven less than seven thousand mi per year and had regular maintence. With less than a hundred thousdand mi on it, the engine threw a rod through the block on the freeway on the way home. Needless to say I am heartbroken. I am a grandma and this vehicle has seldom been in 4x4, never beat or abused. within 2 years of being new, paint was flaking off and the dealer got that problem fixed, One new set of Michelin tires, brakes,and power steering hoses were the items that had to be replaced. Now it is sitting in the driveway with me griping away.

  Excellent car! - 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By 79camarogirl - March 11 - 8:08 am

  I loved my Jeep Grand Cherokee up til someone ran into me and totaled out my poor car, they bent the frame. had around 200,000 miles on him and was still running strong for the most part. It was our only car so my husband and I put lots of miles on it driving it back and forth to our jobs and he held up very well. Did have some issues with mysterious electrical problems. Sometimes car wouldnt start unless you jiggled the battery wires (battery was good) and the power windows decided they didnt want to work any more. Also, for some reason the cruise control and overdrive stopped working so I got really bad gas mileage, not it got good mpg to begin with.
