How are Jeep Cherokees? On road? Off road? performance? gas mileage? Reliability? My GMC Jimmy has numerous problems, I'm looking for more reliable transportation. Would this be a suitable vehicle to purchase to replace my Jimmy? I enjoy mild offroading, and often tow a small fishing boat.
So my vote would be YES buy the Cherokee.
If you ever have a problem you want to know how to fix or you want to receive improvements in your new Cherokee later try www.NAXJA.org Cherokees are known by their Jeep model classification XJ so the aforementioned website is the NorthAmericanXJAssociation. They are devoted to the XJ and their cousins the MJ a pick-up version of the Cherokee also call the Comanche.
Jeep Cherokees are not known for their reliability. Gas mileage is desperate and off road performance average at best. The contemporary Trailblazers are a step up from the Jimmy and can still tow a boat with no problem. Right now they own big discounts and can be bought or leased fairly cheap.
Answers: I hear you, brother! I of late got rid of a '93 S15 Jimmy, and that was after owning 3 other S10 Blazers. All of them be money pits and rust buckets.
In between Blazers (and Jimmy), I would say to myself, "I wonder if Jeeps are all thery are cracked up to be", near the Cherokee in mind (being the closest in size to the S10/S15's.
My ultimate Jimmy was such a money pit, it boiled down to the fact that I have to drive it into the ground while I could, while it ran.
I ran across a '99 Cherokee near 114K on it. By now I had hear lots from my Jeep owning friends about the bulletproof 4.0L, and the Aisen auto transmissions being immensely long lived.
I bought it. I have owned it only 4 months, but that have been 4 months with NO breakdowns. It is clearly engineered to closing. The engine is simple. It gets about 17mpg as compared to 19 next to the Jimmy, but the Jimmy was lighter due to rust :-)
The best thing I ever did be to get off the S10/S15 see. There is a reason Jeeps have a biddable reputation. Ask anyone who drives one with the 4.0L and the vast majority will swear by it. Join the "jeepcherokees" group on Yahoo and you will see that MANY Cherokees step past 200K, and some posters have 250-300K on them near no problems outside of wear items (water pumps and such).
Off road, the solid axle beats the CV jointed independent front suspension (IFS) of the S10/S15 hands down, due to more travel, and no CV boots to scratch (no CV joints!).
Performance: The Jimmy was lighter on its foot, or maybe geared higher. The Cherokee have more torque due to the inline six (as opposed to V6-less torque at low RPM).
The Jeep has slightly rougher ride, but handle far better because the Jimmy had so much rot (body mounts).
Interior room: Jimmy beats Cherokee scantily in roominess. But I would rather hold a smaller interior than one that doesn't move.
Cherokees don't tow big loads, but a small boat shouldn't be a problem.
Bottom line: Do it. You will not regret it. You get instant Jeep friends and a truck to be precise fun and satisfying to drive.

I own a 90 and my wife a 94 and my daughter a 92. Ask me about them. They are great, capable and roomy ample for everything that you should need to carry. I do enjoy a Z71 to carry really big bulky things like washers or refrigerators, but my Cherokee is the best of the cars that I enjoy owned. Mine is getting close to a quarter million miles and each of the others have over 150,000 miles. They do require things resembling water pumps and belts and hoses but generally speaking especially reliable. I just took mine, the oldest of the three, on a cross country run over the recent holidays. 1650 miles one way beside a small trailer loaded with presents for my grandchildren. Biggest problem was a quart of grease was needed before the return trip. Not a fruitless outing for an 18 year old Jeep.So my vote would be YES buy the Cherokee.
