1993 Jeep Cherokee

No 4X4s on the market like it!

By icanhike (CA) on Saturday, June 15, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 213,000

Pros: "Lasts forever, Great torque, Small wheelbase"

Cons: "no cupholder...I use a Kleenex box!"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

""I LOVE my 1996 jeep! I bought it with 86,000 miles on it 7 yrs ago and it still runs great! Yes, with any old car you have to give it a little love now and then...I've replaced the brake master cylinder, fuel sensor, water pump and other things mostly related to temperature and exhaust system. But there are no other 4X4's on the market that have the small wheelbase and high torque (steep hill climbs) and cargo space for my dog/gear. You can go straight up at 5mph, and the seats are comfortable driving around town. I love this Jeep so much I wrote to the company and swore I wouldn't buy another car until mine died or they started making them again! My smog check guy says he's seen one come in with 500,000 miles on it."

But there are no other 4X4's on the market that have the small wheelbase and high torque (allowing steep hill climbs) while at the same time allowing for cargo space. You can go straight up at 5mph, and the seats are comfortable driving around town. The closest are the FJ Cruiser (w/ major drawbacks) and the XTerra (reduced reliability).

20 years still strong

By Jman (FL) on Friday, November 23, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 176,260

Pros: "reliable, fun to drive"

Cons: "gas mileage"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9

"own a 1992 Jeep Cherokee with 176k on the odometer. Routine maintenance..for it being 20 years old had to replace the following within this year: radiator, water pump, oil pan gasket, overhaul brake system, drive belt..runs strong, reliable..however, gas mileage is limited to 21 mpg on hwy going 55-60 mph..follow maintenance schedule and you will have a car for a very long time..i know of people who have way more miles that I have..so reliability speaks for itself..you cannot go wrong with the inline 6 engine..love this jeep."
