Jeep Cherokee 2.5 CRD Sport 5d (2002/52) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
let the first owner take the hit and seemed good value as a used buy, though equipment levels only average compared to rivals.
Costs
Averaging 30mpg, not had to service it yet but probably won't go to a franchised dealer.

On the road
Driving
Magazine reports all true, bouncy ride, noisy engine, happy with the steering and I feel confident through the corners. I enjoy driving my 'truck' and wanted it for its off road abilities.
Performance
Feel the torque!! Not especially quick but didn't buy for its speed. Strong engine and with all that torque nearly as easy to drive as an automatic.

Living with it
Reliability
So far so good, seems well built. Have been 'adventure off roading' in it and nothing broke!
Image
Can only speak for myself, but I like the image as not regarded as a 'Soft Roader' like rivals and my little bit of Americana.
Comfort
Seats a bit small for me and offset driving position is something I've become used to, cramped drivers foot well, though passengers in the back seem happy enough.

Security and Service
Security
loud alarm with remote locking but no deadlocks. I guess if they want the car they'll get it one or another!
Service
Not had any dealing with main dealer. Bought from car supermarket which was a pleasant revelation!
