Jeep Cherokee

"V8 Hemi has excellent acceleration. Option to select sport suspension and steering is great for increasing handling options."

"Thrashy, gutless 4 cylinder engine. Poor response from transmission."

"Handles well, a little less tight than my Chevy Cruz, but still pretty good"

"Firm steering, lane avoidance system, adequate power, cruise control system, quite, smooth ride."

"This drives like a sports car and goes like a Jeep over terrain. Hard to believe the ride and handling with a vehicle there s capable"

"Acceleration hesitation comes & goes and is not smooth. Sometimes steering seems to not be responsive, but other times it is. Very erratic."

"This Cherokee has a 9 speed transmission with a hill descent control. If the vehicle is driven in the drive gearing with the computer controlling the shifts, the rpm usually runs about 1,000 rpm, which under hilly country is low for the power that the 3.2 engine produces. In order to negotiate hills or pass another vehicle, there is a lag time in shifting which can cause safety issues on mountain roads. Gearing is too high for the engine. I have never been able to get the transmission into gear 9 even on long, down hill mountain roads. No reason to have all the gears, I always override the computer and do the shifting myself to keep the rpm's within a higher area, say 2 to 3 thousand rpm where the power band of the engine begins to produce the power needed to drive the mountain roads of Idaho. Descent on steep mountain roads depends mostly on the brakes with little engine hold back. On 8 and 10 mile descents, brakes heat up and could fail. The descent control cannot be used on the open highway since it is designed to function on off-road driving where speeds are run in the low range of the transfer case and can cause very erratic speeds and jerking if the throttle is not carefully applied, which is impossible on rough roads."

"4 cylinder engine provides less power than I like. My fault, should have purchased a larger engine."

"Great acceleration for a 4 cylinder."

"Acceleration in stop and go traffic and ascending hills is slow and poor. However, when you place transmission in manual shift mode all issues disappear."

"To be a 6 cylinder SUV, the acceleration is terrible, especially on any kind of hilly roads, even small inclines"

"The Jeep Cherokee is very responsive in acceleration and steering. It is the most stable feeling SUV we driving and we've owned or driven most of them."

"Handles well for an SUV. Does not lean in corners and handles sharp bumps with ease. Acceleration with the V6 is adequate for every situation I have encountered so far. Goes through snow like no vihicle I have ever owned. Surprisingly capable off road."

"Drives very well. Some occassional hesitation in transmission shifting."

"Excellent power and performance with 9 speed transmition. Good passing power. Pull a light (3000gwt) trailer with no problem. Default two weel front wheel drive is great in Colorado mountains. Three different all-wheel drives all work great in unique situations - move to AWD automatically or select snow, sand/mud"

"Active drive II works very well."

"I absolutely love the adaptive cruise control. It works perfectly and makes highway driving a joy. My only minor complaint is that sometimes you can't accelerate quickly immediately from a sudden stop. It seems to need a second or two to drop down to first gear."

"Very good acceleration with the V-6 engine.The ride has a nice tight feel."

"Drives well, corners well"

"love the vehicle, excellent driving and handling both on and off road. Performs well on snow, ice, wet and dry roads"

"Very comfotable. Seats are very supportive."

"Very nice comfortable ride."

"Noise was in front and rear wheel wells. Fixed at dealership under warranty."

"Very comfortable ride"

"Very quiet, smooth ride."

"Noisy ride"

"The seats are very comfortable and maneuverable. I have taken multiple long rides of 6-8 hours each way and felt much more comfortable than with my previous car."

"Seats heat up. Driver seat had lumbar support. Recline and are comfortable on long trips."

"Very quiet with comfortable seating."

"Seats are very comfortable, little noise when driving, even with the sunroof open, smooth ride, considering all the 4 wheel drive capabilities."

"clunky and very noisy going over cracks in roadway"

"We tried Escape,Rogue,Rav-4,CRV, and the Jeep Cherokee with the Overland package had the best seats, was the quietest, handled the best on the road when windy, and superior 4-wheel drive. The Overland package puts the Cherokee in a class by itself."

"The seats are comfortable for long drives and one feels very secure."

"Most comfortable interior of the four previously owned SUV's. Road trip to Canadian Rockies and no "tired butt or stiff legs". No wind noice even with auxilliary roof rack. Ride is stable but comfortable even with off road 4x4 capability"

"These are the first seats I have ever sat in that I didn’t need back support"

"Seats are very uncomfortable, hard sides make long rides painful., Also, entering and leaving vehicle difficult, no easy way to exit vehicle. Cannot adjust seat to a comfortable position, always seems to need the bottom of the seat to have softer sides."

"The seats are well designed to give maximum comfort. Excellent ride quality from the air shock system. Noise from outside air could be controlled a little better."

"road noise is terrible. Seats are comfortable. The ride is satisfactory."

"the only negative i have is road noise, could be less"

"Seats are great and extremely comfortable. Ride is rough and suspension is jerky Due to suspension, the noise generated by the jerky ride is sometimes very loud."

"Exceptionally comfortable seats which are heated AND ventilated. Lumbar support. Very low noise in car. Ride is just right not harsh."

"love the adjustability of the seats"

"The seats and noise level are great on an extended trip."

"A nice, quiet ride."

"Quit. Comfortable. Good ride. Nice leather seats"

"The perforated leather seats are AMAZING and feel so good and comfortable."

"All seats need lot more padding. Hard to get in and out of both passenger seats. Could use a little more legroom"

"Seats are comfortable. Cabin is somewhat noisy."

"Dlr and Chrysler could not find problem to eliminate engine and stop/go icons after having vehicle for 4 mo. 800plus mi. Took to independent who identified and corrected in 2 days."

"Exceptional value compared to other vehicles equipped the same way. The Overland model has every bell and whistle but no sun roof which is exactly what I wanted."

"Excellent trade in and final price with all the options."

"I have driven Mercedes for the last 20 years. I have always bought used ones and have received great service. This is the first new vehicle I have purchased. With the rebates I was able to purchase this vehicle new for what I could have purchased a used vehicle that would have suited me."

"Relatively good fuel economy. Excellent in the snow and driving on rough or gravel roads. Very comfortable to drive for long distances. Interior is very nice and I felt I received a good number of options for the price I paid. Has been reliable so far."

"Satellite cuts out all the time in locations other vehicles do no. Changed system & it got worse. Dealer says there is nothing they can do. Battery died with no warning. Sun/moon roof was supposed to be able to vent, but has to open all the way to vent - exposing the entire interior to the elements (not a vent). Hesitation in the acceleration that comes & goes. Can control some things with buttons & some things you must go several layers into the control system to operate - not a good system, very glitchy."

"Got dicent care for the money"

"The value versus what the truck provides is not bad. You get what you pay for and this truck is priced in the middle of the market for trucks this size and class and the vehicles gives you just that, middle of the road everything from materials to the look of the vehicle."

"great car for the price. the Trailhawk can go anywhere"

"Got a fully loaded Jeep during their 15% off MSRP event. Got a crazy deal. Love it."
