1999 Jeep Cherokee 4 Dr Sport 4WD Wagon
Review
After 10 years, nearly every wire in the Jeep is cracking and beginning to fail. Intermittent failures in the window operators, instruments, radio. Cruise control, horn and airbag are all out of commission. Car has never been crashed or bumped and has had only light 4wd use, but body panels are coming loose, trim strips and bumpers are falling off. Transmission is noisy. Death wobble is getting steadily worse even after new tires, shocks, dampener and alignment. The Jeep is the newest of my three cars and the only one that I seriously want to get rid of. VERY Disappointed.

It looks cool
Suggested Improvements
Sell the Jeep line to Ford....For that matter, I think Yugo would have done a better job than Chrysler.
Impressive quality/reliability

No major problems. Can't believe that it has lasted like this. We take good care of it, and it looks almost new. Almost no rust - surprising for WI. Strong engine/tranny. Interior shows almost no wear. All repairs have been maintenance issues - nothing major. Easy to work on. Would highly recommend.
Favorite Features
Classic body lines. 4wd great in snow and rain. It really makes you feel much safer.
Suggested Improvements
More space. Better fuel economy.
Love this car

Review
I bought my jeep as a college sophomore back in 2005. Purchased in New York where I'm from, and attending school in Savannah, GA, I knew I was in for some serious mileage. I did my research and found a great Cherokee. That car has been up and down the east coast at least 10 times, been in rough road in the swamps of the deep south, and it never died. There were a few minor electrical problems, along with no CD player, however it was perfect. I just sold it (and miss it so much!) due to another long trip across the country, but will probably buy a jeep again.
Favorite Features
Stability, performance, reliability!
Suggested Improvements
Cd player, a high top speed and cruise control were lacking in this model.
Great Little SUV

Review
1999 Cherokee Sport with 4.0L I6. My 2nd Cherokee (had a 1990 5 spd) and I love both of them (family's had 4 Cherokees and they have all been great trucks). Tough little SUV that does everything you want it to. Never complains when I hit those huge New England pot holes and you can drive it in any weather you want. Taken it out in white-out snow storms in a foot of powder and it does excellent. Never crossed my mind that I'd get stuck in any condition. Not the most comfy/efficient car but its a tough little SUV that rides stiff and never complains. Great for someone looking for a tough reliable truck that will take you anywhere and won't complain about a little tough drivin
Favorite Features
-Nice and simple all around compared to most new cars -Holds lots of gear for a small SUV -Go-anywhere capability -Reliability -4wd is impressive. Driven all sorts of 4wd systems (Chevy, Dodge, Mercury, Ford to name a few) and this is hands down the best and most capable system for any condition.
Suggested Improvements
-Could be smoother all around (engine, transmission, suspension), but you don't buy this Jeep for those qualities so they are more than acceptable.

Review
I absolutely love these vehicles. They are so reliable. I can go back to my favorite fishing spot, put the seats down and load up the back with equipment, go camping in the back, drive inns are a blast, go anywhere my wrangler owning buds go, get better gas mileage that full size trucks, all power, all electric, tow my boat jet ski four Wheeler or car trailer. This is the most awesome vehicle ever made. My 4dr 4x4 sport has 246,000 miles and still going strong. I will repair it when it needs it and never part with it.
Favorite Features
4x4, manual transfer case np231 is absolutely bullet proof when you add a sye.-slip yoke eliminator for you not motor heads. I love that it has power everything and rke with alarm. This is absolutely the Truth in sport utility. Solid axles are reliable. Love my rack and folding rear seats
Suggested Improvements
The only thing I would like to add is a full size spare room for a jack and shovel and I wish the Glass on the rear hatch opened separate from the hatch.
