This car is a classic and should be cherished by its owner.
My car runs great! I have had it for about 8 years now and it is just now starting to have some issues. Granted it is 18 years old so it as bound to happen eventually. It runs really nice and all of the issues I have had, I have been able to take care of quickly and without having to spend too much money. I am not the most car savvy person so I can really explain the specific issues I have had. But all fixes ended up being under $400 so they weren't too bad. My car is my favorite thing because it is an old school style Jeep and I get a lot of compliments on it. People ask if I am selling all of the time and I always say heck no!! All in all it is a great car, and I hope to have it for another few years before having to upgrade!

Reliability & Performance
I purchased my new Jeep Cherokee Classic in 2000 and drove it out of the showroom. It still looks and drives like the day I purchased it. My wife's biggest competition. It goes to the Car Wash Salon and check-up every week, getting a bit old but still has that Horsepower: 190 hp. In her.

It is economical. It was very competitively priced, has needed few repairs.
I like my jeep because I have not had to take it to the shop for repairs I have been able to repair it all myself what I do not like is that some simple parts on the jeep are really expensive.

I like it and it is safe for me to drive anywhere.
My jeep is trustworthy. Gets around in any weather. Has lots of room. I trust its safety. I like the green color too.
accountCircle Jacob V
Very safe vehicle with full time all wheel drive and many airbags.
I wish it had leather seats. I do not like the ac. I love all the character the car has. I just love the color. The engine works amazing. It is my favorite color.

Jeep Cherokee. Black exterior with tinted windows.
My Jeep is very reliable and I have used it everyday for 15 years and I use it for errands and to go to stores and it has great room in the back that is easy to pack in packages. Also, have gone on vacation upstate for many times of having a good time and brought it on trails and certain parks for riding through some terrain and uphill driving is good as it has good control also in snow, rain and other hazardous conditions.

Drive safely on the streets.
I think people should be careful driving because everyone needs to care about other people’s life cause they could get into some trouble or they could hurt themselves so please be aware of people crossing the streets be kind and safe.

I like the 4 wheel drive. I like the space it provides. I do not like the bumpy ride.
It is reliable. I can go out in bad winter weather without too much worry of getting stuck

Negative Owner Reviews

A couple different year and models of the Aveo have been recalled.
Chevy Aveo's have terrible electrical issues and sporadically do not start. I like the design of the car and hatchback. Overall-I will never drive another Aveo.
accountCircle Elizabeth W
That it' not all it's cut out to be. As far as off-road use, I've had every other vehicle I've ever owned in the same places that this one has went so far.
I do not like this vehicle at all. The types of issues that it has don't make sense at all, not even to qualified mechanics. And of course, there always seems to be something wrong with it. Every vehicle I've owned so far has been old as well, but I've never had one that acted like this one.
accountCircle Jacob N
It is not great on gas mileage.
The car does not drive very well. It is wobbly and is not tight in its control. I have had numerous issues regarding fuel gages, brakes, catalytic converters, etc. However, it handles very well in the snow.
accountCircle Victoria P
The grand jeep cherokee is spacious--both for passengers and for cargo (groceries, etc).
My grand jeep cherokee was spacious but too old--it had brake problems and pulled a lot. Also the leather seats and steering wheel got too hot.
accountCircle Milo I
It is runs great and does the job.
An old vehicle that has a quirky transmission. Still runs but has no air. Tires are loose and need to be aligned.
accountCircle Cary J
Jeep Cherokee pros and cons.
Rides rough and bumpy. It a Jeep and has straight axles which makes for a stiff ride. 4x4 with good power and very light so it doesn't get stuck easily. 4. 0 inline 6 engine has poor fuel economy. Engine and drivetrain are solid and seemingly bulletproof. Radio reception is poor with stock radio.
accountCircle Autumn R
It is really cool and can go threw mud and in the woods and it is super lifted!
I love it, however I need to fix the wheel from shaking when I go above 40mph. I also need to fix an oil leak which has been occurring for a while.
accountCircle Caitlin M
It is good in the snow and winter months.
I like it is an SUV. I like it has a sunroof. I like it is black. I do not like how many miles it has.

2000 Jeep Cherokee was the best buy of my life.
Excellent vehicle for our family. Lots of room for traveling and camping. The sound system is top notch, providing insane bass and treble. Classics from 1718 to 2018 sound the way the. Composer wanted it to. With regular and frequent oil changes the life of the car stays good.

It gets good gas milage.it It is easy to get around in.
I would like the seats to be a little bigger. The opening where you open the back door is too narrow.
