  Like a good old friend - 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Car_Crazy - June 26 - 7:16 am

  I bought my v8 5.2 liter engine Grand Cherokee in 03 with 116,000 miles on it and I have had it for two years now with 127k miles. The performance, comfort, and looks are just excellent. However, the fuel economy is extremely poor. Driving in the hot summer days with A/C on I get around 12 mpg. As for reliability, I havent had any major problems so far. Just one time the A/C broke down but my friend is a mechanic and fixed it at no charge.

  Proven workhorse - 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Long Tall Texan - December 4 - 4:20 pm

  Had this car for 11 years, 160,000 miles. Rebuilt the transmission at 90,000 and made a few non-critical repairs (electric windows, back hatch) over the years, but, to my surprise, its still running strong. I certainly do NOT regret buying it. It has withstood California commuter traffic, Wyoming fishing trails and Texas heat with a minimum of trouble. Mileage is bad (14-16 mpg), cornering is ridiculous, steering requires constant adjustment, but it has been reliable beyond my reasonable expectations. For an American car this old, it done good.

  a very reliable vehicle - 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By c.g. garcia - November 24 - 2:00 am

  I purchased my jeep used with about 40k miles and it now has 95k miles on it and it still runs great. only problems ive had were with catalyc conv. and AC other than that this is a very reliable suv. 4wd handles great and regular upkeep should keep it running in good condition for many years to come. interior is roomy and comfortable. overall a good vehicle.

  I have Loved my 95 ZJ since the test drv - 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By cgk13 - October 8 - 11:06 am

  I bought my 95 zj in 2007 and I have never regretted it. I have had to replace the starter, water pump and alternator as well as front brakes and regular tune ups but that is to be expected. The inline six is amazing!! She is about to hit 200k and is still going strong. I live in Iowa so when winter comes other drivers cringe but I say bring it on. No matter what nature or myself throw at my jeep she takes it without missing a beat and keeps going. Including a deer and my tire coming off on the highway. I have never owned a better vehicle. I want to drive my jeep until the wheels fall off and then I will put them back on and keep going! I love my Jeep!

  Good Overall SUV - 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Oh Shane - August 13 - 12:10 pm

  I purchased this JGC V-8 with 110,000 on it, and have had pretty good luck. Motor is strong and with a class 4 hitch, pulls my ~6000 lb boat/trailer with no problems! Uni-Body construction doesnt look too happy when I hitch on the boat, but the motor/trans doesnt complain. 4WD system has given me no problems either and is very capable, IT IS A JEEP. Only minor problems so far.

  Gas hog - 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Jeff - June 23 - 3:36 am

  I recently purchased a 244,000 mile 1995 Jeep GC. I have owned 7 jeeps prior to this one. It is a great running jeep even with the mileage. I purchased it as a back up vehicle but find myself driving it instead of my Nissan even with gas mileage as bad as it is. I had to replace the transfer case recently but was able to find one at a junkyard for 120 dollars. The Jeep is extremely easy to work on. I definitely recommend the GC experience.

  Great... not so much - 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By t_zayas51 - May 30 - 4:48 am

  I bought this car prior to winter two years ago. I live in Wisconsin and the winters here are just terrible. I bought it with about 160,000 miles on it. The 5.2 V8 was an absolute beast. Put a K&N Cold air unit on it, and Flowmaster 4 series exhaust and MAN did this jeep go! Started running into problems around 170,000 miles, Fuel pump ($400+ Just for parts), Crankshaft position sensor, Throttle sensor, security system. The problems ultimately led to the sale of this car. Sad day.

  BROKE - 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By Mr. NO - May 9 - 2:00 am

  Bought in Dec 01 with 73K. Limited all bells and whistles. Car looks great as if rolled off dealership, cause very well taken cared off. Fun to drive and go for a ride, however the maintenance cost will also take u for a ride. I now have 117K and get nervous, cause I have already experienced some of the problems other users have posted. I had to rebuilt transmission, broken motor mounts, and now a cracked exhaust manifold. Spent over $3000!!! on this car, like throwing money in to a black hole. If you have money to burn, buy this car for fun. Definitely not a reliable car. Get a Toyota.

  By jcraig316 - March 22 - 10:00 am

  I had the Jeep inspected by a dealer before buying. They said it was the cleanist 95 they have seen in a long time and it would be a good buy. Sence then I have been avg $2000 a year in repairs (a/c, water pump, motor mounts, rear wiper motor, av boots, antenna moter, idol speed ?, radiator, unknown cluck periodicly from under right side of hood, I had 3 leaks start at the same time over night, ect.)

  They were made to be run into the ground - 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee
  By NP - January 19 - 7:50 am

  I bought my Jeep two years ago with 174k miles on it (yep, you read that right). In those two years, ive done routine maintance, and replaced the driver side wheel bearings (about a grand at a Jeep delear). NOTHING else ever went wrong with it, but i suspect the other owners might have repaired the brunt of it. Im just now starting to have issues- but the Jeep is about to hit 200K! Beware, they were made to last, and made to be run into the ground, but when they get old - their repairs are NOT cheap! My problem is viscous coupler - OUCH - and sway bars. Will be sad to see her go, but cant sink money into her.
