Review
They didn't make too many of them, they're in high demand. There's also a club for just this model. Minimal repairs since owning vehicle. Most luxurious Jeep model and year I've seen. Gas Mileage could be better, 20 on the freeway, less in town. Still going strong after almost 20 years. Still looks nearly new.
