I currently drive a 1.3L which gets me around 400Ks on $40 worth of petrol selling between $1.10-1.20/L. Don’t think I could get similar with a 4WD. Expect a petrol 4wd to use twice that amount of fuel on average. Three times as much around town and when in a hurry. Sadly this is something I have ...

Thankyou all for your replies – very generous with your time and effort. *Why these 2 vehicles?* Pretty much all comes down to money. Unfortunately working on a tight budget. Not really wanting to spend over $7,000 for a car that’s 10+ years old. Although concerned that a 4WD selling at a low pri ...

Getting closer to making my final decision, but have another question to ask:

How do current cherokee owners find the fuel economy of your vehicles?
What sort of distance are you getting from $40 worth of petrol priced at $1.20/L ?

To ex Jeep Cherokee owners

g'day I am looking at buying a Cherokee, '96 model at this stage but considering all models between 1994-99. Would like to hear your thoughts on the vehicle and reasons why you no longer drive one. As a potential buyer I'm just wanting to hear 'both sides of the story' before I make a final decision ...

Thanks very much for all the replies guys.
Can't say for certain, but I think you've talked me out of a purchase. (just depends if I can afford a reliable car other than a terios)

Again, I appreciate the effort.

Happy trails.
Cheers

Thankyou all for the above replies. Greatly appreciated. 4000RPM at 110km/h sounds about right, that’s roughly what I get out of my ’87 pulsar at present. I can see myself taking the pulsar on a long trip such as Melbourne-Sydney, but rest stops would be needed perhaps a little more frequent then ...

Terios - yes or no?

G’day to all, Just after your advice, tips and any other info here as I am looking at purchasing a Terios sometime in the near future. The car will be used half and half for city and rural driving. When it comes to rural driving it won’t be the traditional 4X4 bush-bashing, more so gravel and dir ...
