Summary: 1996 Jeep Cherokee, 2WD, 3 door, 4.0 Liter I-6 engine, automatic transmission. This car has been very good since the day it was bought. The engine has 175,000 miles on it and still is running fine. Had to replace the fan belt, brakes, distributor cap, distributor rotor, whole front end after accident. Aside from these minor problems, it's a very dependable, long-lasting vehicle.
Strengths: 4.0 Liter I-6 is a great engine, vehicle just keeps running.
Weaknesses: Bad lock and door handle design, bad radio design, A/C went out about 100,000 miles ago, bumpy ride.

Summary: I bought this car at an auction, without inspecting it first. It had 109,000 miles. I repaired a leak in the transfer case and bought new tires. The cars runs incredibly good. In the 5 years I owned it, I only had to replace de radiator, fix the steering wheel assembly, and the rest has only been regular maintenance. The car now has 170,000 miles and still running good.
Strengths: comfortable, no expensive repairs
Weaknesses: Bad gas mileage

Summary: Was happy enough with comfort and service to consider trading in for a new model.However now that a front and rear window have fallen down and the repair is going to be 400.00 each.Needless to say I will not be purchasing a new Chrysler product.For a company that spends millions of dollars on advertising to gain new customers you would think that it might be in their best interest to take care of their current ones.I guess now that they have what use to be the most reliable Mercedes-Benz cars,the Chryslers can go back to being the same old junk that they use to be.It`s a real shame that that they are dragging the good Jeep trademark down with it.
Strengths: Nice curb appeal,plenty of comfort from the quality leather seats.Mileage around 20.ample room,good towing characteristics.A comfortable ride
Weaknesses: Chrysler does not have the expertise to manufacture an operatable window.No company support or accountability.

Summary: I was looking for my first 4x4, so I started looking at Suzuki because I thought they were cheap and good quality.I got wrong and disappointed on both, price and characteristics. I then looked at used Honda CR-V's (similar price) & liked it first but when I tested it on the street I realized it's like a grandma's car, litle power, bad 4x4 system (wich is permanent!!), bad mileage for a small engine.
Then I saw that great shape Cherokee with only 47000 miles on it, at a nice price and when I probed it I felt in love instantly. Big power and real 4x4 box combination make it the right choice to me. Add a full set of features too, like AC , power windows/doors, factory anti-thief system, etc.
After 5 months I haven't had any problem with it. Engine was running hot due wrong cooling liquid, so I replaced it and this car is now performing even better. I was greatly surprised when I got 12,8 km/liter on highway, driving mostly at 75mph. Not bad for a 4.0L. In the city the mileage sucks.
Another characteristic still present in this US car is how simple its mechanic is. If I need it, I'd could fix almost anything without visiting a shop. And a full set of aftermarket products are available if I shall want them.
This car climbs easily any hills, elevations, sand, thanks the big engine and the smart command trac system.
The only issue I found on this car is the bad mileage at the city. I think if it had a manual trasmission it would be better.
Strengths: -engine & power
-equipment
-space
-4x4 system
-simple but strength construction
Weaknesses: - mileage on the city
-lack of a manual transmission for the 4.0L
