Hi Peoples, Im just wondering if anyone has any opinions of the new jeep cherokees. Its for my partner, and we were just looking for a 4b that will handle well on the road and has the capabilities to do trips too Stradboke and other soft 4b trips.
Thanks

I,ve tried to buy a Jeep a couple of times. After everyone I know trys to kick some sense into me, I go and test drive regardless only to remind myself why I didn,t buy one last time. Look great but thats about as far as it goes.
Buy Japanese and when,if, something goes wrong you,ll be the minority not the majority. I got my wife a 120 prado, armchair on wheels, plenty of grunt in petrol, fuel economy? did I mention plenty of grunt.

I started out with nothing and still have most of it left !

What are all these issues that you guys mention. Curious as I own an XJ Cherokee and take it everywhere and have had 0 problems.
So far I've had ot for 80,000kms, been to Fraser twice, Cameron Corner, Flinders and many club trips etc. Have 4" of lift 31's and numerous other bits.
I haven't heard of any inherent problems with the KJ Cherokee either.
Cheers

Not exactly a common occurence.
The guy above said he had zero issues in 80,000 Kms .. thats not bad (for a jeep) ... The stories must come from somewhere.Jeeps wrote:No offence to all the 'jap' vehicle owners but you're all speaking crap.
My fater in law LOVES jeeps .. he runs an auto spares business

X2 - chicks look hot driving wranglers, same thing as when driving utes. Dunno why. The cherokee is more of a MILF thing - still a good look, just depends on what suits your missus.Beastmavster wrote:The thread title itself tells you all you need to know about jeeps.
Buy a wrangler if you have to buy a jeep......

Stereotype all you like - it's a Jeeps thing I don't understand.Jeeps wrote:This coming from a Pajero owner.... not that i'm stereoptyping...NJ SWB wrote:Fixed it for ya!sir_camel wrote:seems that way...again. all this experience and first hand knowledge that you all seem to have is amazing as i wheel with jeeps all the time (and own one) and dont see any more problems wasoever than jap 4by's.

Can't afford a Toyota.
Don't want a Nissan.
Don't understand the Jeep thing.

Issues with Jeeps that I know of are -
cherokee ruins rear axles and diffs and there are no real second hand ones to be had - because they are all had it- new set of axles and diff fitted drive in/drive out $2K
Hard on tyres - rears tend to get eaten out badly because people drive them like a cut snake in rear wheel drive and smoke the tyres up all the time - front left tyres seem to wear really badly - most people end up putting quite a hard compound tyre on the car to get some good milage out of the tyres - this in turn effects the ride and handly (i.e. makes them drive poorly)
The rear axle thing is by far the most common complaint I have heard from jeep cherokee owners. Other than that - careful if you buy one off a yard their steam cleaners usually ruin the gems ecu under the bonnet - another tidy $900
