Jeep Cherokee 4.0 Limited SE 5d Auto (1997/P) Owner Review

Slides badly in the wet if fixed in std rear wheel drive. Keep it in 4-wheel drive permanently - the grip becomes excellent in the wet, mud and snow. Very comfy ride (not bouncy).

Had 15 steel SCUBA tanks, 200kg lead weights, bags and 2 people on the running boards going up a 25% gradient on a coast road in Clovelly - never went above 3000 revs and accelerated effortlessly - it's powerful.

Excellent. Never had a problem starting it in any conditions. AS a SCUBA instructor I regulalry filled it up with bottles, gear and weights - excellent car except its expense with its thirty petrol consumption.

Conservative looks makes it in my opinion safe from theives - it's just not that flashy…

Really comfy with the leather seats. Excellent stereo (rear speakers in the roof mean they don't get knocked about).

Std immobiliser seemed quite good, although I would have preferred computer chipped keys... no compaints.

Exception and professional servicing (a little condescending becuase they don't expect Jeep owners to care about the details) - very 'expensive' for std servcies, but you are paying for the best trained mechanics.

Engine

Sound and no issues.
