Very nice vehicle
John M., Indio, CA, 09/14/2016
2016 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 9A)
We have had this 2016 Jeep Cherokee Sport 2-4L fwd for about a month now and have already put 1800 very pleasant miles on it, through a combination of mountain, freeway and city driving. In all conditions it handled very nicely. Going uphill was never an issue. It's power was more than enough to help us up the hills at a nice pace, and it's handling made it unnecessary to use the brakes … except on the sharpest turns. On the freeway, there was no trouble merging at the right speed. Acceleration was always just right. Very smooth ride, even at highway speeds, and also very quite. Interior is great.High quality materials made it feel almost luxurious. Very comfortable seating for 5. Plenty of leg and headroom. We really like the front grille and the daylight running lights too. I was really pleasantly surprised and would recommend it to everyone. If you don't need 4wd, the 2.4L is really great, and along with the 9 speed transmission it provides a smooth very quick way to arrive at your destination, relaxed and refreshed, no matter how long the journey. Just wanted to update the review. We have driven over a thousand miles more since the initial review. Everything is still great. I really, really enjoy driving this car. Very smooth. Very comfortable. Very quite. Acceleration is just right. Everyone who had driven with us is very impressed. My friend, who is 6'2" said he had plenty of head and legroom in the rear seat. He also said how comfortable it felt. I can't wait for a very very long road trip. I wish I was driving it now.
The Best Car I've Ever Purchased!
Amber Hughes, Los Angeles, CA, 05/27/2016
2016 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 9A)
I had been seriously shopping around for this type of car for quite some time. I had about five dealerships calling me.
When I first test drove my 2016 Jeep Cherokee, I was a bit worried. I live on insanely curvy roads and this car could have handled the curves poorly. It didn't! It handles the twists and turns of my rural road beautifully!
I got a great price from my local dealership, … had a trailer hitch installed on it for hauling bicycles around and it looks so great!
I love all of my car's features, but I do have one complaint; no CD player. It's not the actual car's fault though because I guess basically no new cars have a CD player installed. One day, I'll probably look into getting a CD player installed, but my iPod works just fine for now.
All in all, this is the best car I've ever owned and I would highly recommend it for anyone that is looking for a quality vehicle.
2016 model 6cyl 9 spd

2016 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 9A)
I guess we win. transmission crapped out after only 265mi. yes thats right 265! All the things everyone is saying about this vehicle are true. Run dont walk away from this. Luckily we were not on highway when it failed. Dont listen to dealer lies. They know about transmission problems and are not able to fix them. Gonna have to take a huge loss to get out from this junk. Lemon law is our … only hope. Update. Dealer couldn't figure out how to fix this vehicle. Luckily we got them to take it back from us for a minimal loss. I feel bad for the next person they sell this to! This 9 speed tranny is a joke.
DO NOT PURCHASE A 2016 JEEP CHEROKEE
B Bullard, Atlanta, GA, 12/29/2017
2016 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4dr SUV (2.4L 4cyl 9A)
We purchased in Sept. 2016 We had looked at several comparable vehicles but decided to go with the Jeep due to pricing. That was a mistake. You get what you pay for. It was inexpensive, because in simple terms it stinks. From the very beginning it has burned excessive amounts of oil. We took to the dealership and were told that a quart of oil every 1,000 miles is normal. Well, … that's not normal in my opinion for a brand new vehicle. I have an 11 year old Chevrolet that does not come close to burning that much oil. We were advised to check the oil every time we fill up with gas. What a joke. They performed an oil consumption test which resulted in them telling us they would send the findings to the manufacturer. We called several times to check status of the oil consumption findings only to be told that they hadn't heard back from the manufacturer. Two weeks ago, while driving the Jeep in rush hour traffic the engine light started flashing and service transmission light came on and car went into limp mode. I was almost rear ended because car wouldn't move. I was finally able to slowly move over 3 lanes and pull into a parking lot. I shut the car off and once I restarted it, it seemed to be fine. I got back on the road only to have this happen 3 more times before I could make it to my destination. The dealership was contacted only to not return our calls. We took the car in the next morning and haven't seen or heard from the dealership since. My advice - DO NOT BUY A JEEP. WORST CAR I'VE EVER OWNED.
