2014 Jeep Cherokee - Excellent Family Vehicle
The 2014 Jeep Cherokee is a very reliable and capable vehicle with a V6 engine and nice pickup for its size. It's acceleration is one of the best I've seen in a SUV of it's size. I'd estimate it gets 20/30 mpg city/highway mileage. It handles the road great in all sorts of weather too. It's a quiet ride for an SUV and handles well. Perfect family vehicle. Enough space to hold the whole family and then some. It's roomy inside and comfortable to drive. Can comfortably fit 5 people in the vehicle. Comes with child safety locks and car seat hooks as well. The standard factory cloth upholstery is attractive and of high quality. It has a real sleek look to it. This vehicle has everything you could want to include a 6 speaker stereo with a 5 inch touch screen, a USB port, an SD card reader an... (more)
Story
We enjoy geocaching as a past time and this Jeep is excellent for the many various terrains we encounter while doing so.
Pros
4X4, great on all terrains, handles excellent, nice pickup/acceleration for size of engine, back up camera excellent etc.
Cons
The only real con that I have about the 2014 Jeep Cherokee is the headlights. I do not like the shape of them. Other than that I am completely happy with my vehicle.
2004 Jeep Cherokee - NOT WHAT THEY USED TO BE
I OWN A 2004 JEEP CHEROKEE - I PREVIOUSLY HAD A 1997 JEEP CHEROKEE. I LOVED THE POWER AND LOOK OF MY 1997 JEEP SO WHEN IT WAS TIME FOR A NEW CAR I LOOKED AT THE SAME BRAND. ALTHOUGH UPDATED IN LOOKS, THE 2004 VERSION DIDN'T HAVE THE POWER ON THE HILLS THAT THE 1997 HAD - IT ALWAYS LUGGS OUT LIKE IT'S GOING TO STOP. THE INTERIOR ISN'T OF THE SAME DURABILITY AS THE PREVIOUS ONE - THE SEATS STARTED COMING APART AT THE SEAMS WITHIN FOUR YEARS WHICH IS FRUSTRATING AS THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE SEAT COVERS FOR THEM. THE MECHANICS IN THE 2004 STARTED GOING OUT WITHIN 8 YEARS, FIRST THE TRANSMISSION, THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT, THE WHEEL BEARINGS - IT SEEMS THAT ONE THING RIGHT AFTER ANOTHER KEEPS GOING OUT IN IT.
Story
MY JEEP HAS TAKEN ME ON MANY ROAD TRIPS. IT ACCOMMODATES ALL THE PASSENGERS AND LUGGAGE WITH EASE.
Pros
THE JEEP PRODUCT HAS ALWAYS BEEN RELIABLE - IT HAS LOTS OF INTERIOR ROOM AND FITS UP TO FOUR PASSENGERS COMFORTABLY.
Cons
THE POWER PULLING HILLS IN THE NEWER VERSION ISN'T WHAT IT USED TO BE - LUGGS OUT BAD. ALSO THE FACT THAT THE MECHANICS STARTED GOING OUT ONE RIGHT AFTER THE OTHER ONCE IT HIT 95,000 MILES IS FRUSTRATING.
1990 Jeep Cherokee - My first Jeep
I purchased this bad boy three weeks ago, and I've never been happier with a vehicle. I drive my step kids across the state of Oregon every other week and bought this so I could safely navigate the mountain passes and snow this winter; the total miles per month is around 3,000!
Story
My parents had multiple Jeeps when I was growing up and always swore by them for reliability. Three days ago - after they purchased a different model - they called me from the Oregon coast...needing a tow! The four-wheel drive pulled the tiny car out of the ditch without even trying. I made a joke about how they should consider a Jeep.
Pros
So with that many miles per month, comfort was obviously an important factor. The interior is stock fabric, which doesn't get cold like leather - plus the Mopar sound system rocks! Most importantly though is the 4.0 inline-six engine. It's one of the strongest internal combustion engines ever made, which makes me feel safe taking my kids across the state.
Cons
In a word: Fuel. This thing drinks gasoline almost as fast as I am able to fill up the tank. This is the unfortunate trade off for having a powerful motor with a huge amount of torque. Also, the four-wheel drive is extremely difficult to shift in and out of. At first I thought this was an issue with the Jeep, but it turns out that it's just a issue with all Jeep XJs made in the early 1990s and would cost a few hundred dollars to replace with aftermarket parts.
