2000 Jeep Cherokee consumer reviews

Had this jeep for a long time great great suv. Its beast thrgh snow shifts great not that bad on gas- no rust has 90k on it now - its in high demand and good resale value at 11 years old. Wouldnt trade for the world.

I bought my 2000 Jeep Cherokee Classic with 76,000 miles on it, three years ago. It now has 130,000 miles on it. This vehicle has been the most trouble-free, reliable vehicle I've owned in years. It's rugged, dependable, and has that "classic, old school" Jeep look that have made it a cult favorite. It's my daily driver; I drive about 20,000 miles/year. It has never let me down. The only repairs I've EVER had done to it - outside of normal wear items - is replacing two seals on the transfer case. That in-line 4.0 litre six cylinder engine is absolutely bullet-proof! Fuel economy isn't great (avg. about 19 mpg) but not terrible either. As you might expect from such a vehicle, it does have some wind and engine noise at highway speeds but it's not obtrusive. The vehicle is a bit narrow and the back seats can be rather difficult to get in/out of for older passengers. I'd gladly buy another one in a heartbeat!

Jeep Cherokee 2000 4x2 Sport. Good reliable and great looking ancient SUV. The basic design is almost 30 years old, like the F-14 Tomcat, it was retired a bit too soon for a great all around vehicle. Wish I bought a 4x4 version, that is my only regret. Gets me to where I need to be. It is a shame they don't make vehicles like this anymore. Good power for a uni body design with less weight to push, it is a good performer with a big straight six torquey 4.0L engine. Needs a bigger cargo capacity for work related stuff. Backseat area is a joke, way too small and cramped for adults, only put them in there for less than an hour if you still want them as friends. It is a 10 year old truck and still running strong. I usually get over 20+ mpg easily on highway, because I baby that throttle and draft off semis whenever possible to help with fuel economy. Looking to get a Ford Truck soon in addition to my Jeep which is my daily driver for more hauling and special apps needs. Constantly loaded with 600-700lbs+ of gear in the cargo area all the time, while it doesn't hurt a thing, but I do know I need to upgrade soon. My Cherokee does it without complaining. In addition to daily commuting, it is primarily a work truck and does it well. With regular oil changes at around 7-10K miles with the best synthetic oil: Mobil One and Mobil One 301 Oil Filter. Easy oil changes takes 15 minutes to do, the longest part is to wait for the oil to fully drain. With regular maintenance, this puppy is at 150,000 miles, and I think I just broke her in. Rides smooth and still with lots of get up and go power. Compared to all the fancy trucks that are selling out there, this is very plain Jane. Very rugged utilitarian design, basic instrument cluster and no nonsense dependability. All you really need is AC, cruise control, and radio. Need no other distractions like LCD displays, DVD, and etc. Too much distractions gets in the way of driving. Yes, I said "driving", the only entertainment I need is a basic radio, primarily for traffic conditions, news and NPR. Even though there are still millions of them out there. I highly recommend picking one up for basic transportation and light cargo needs. Some Jeep Wrangler purists bash Cherokees, but that's ok. We are still Jeep and like a red headed step child we are gonna get some love eventually. :)

I love my 2000 XJ Sport it is an amazing truck very reliable and surprisingly good on gas. I would love to own another one and do plan on keeping this one for as long as i can.

I love my 2000 Cherokee limited. The most practical car I have ever owned. The only issues I've had are the normal "cherokee" issues: Evaporator coil, power window relay switch, oil pressure monitoring gage. I have 155,000 miles on this car and it runs great with no problems. The body has held up great. The interior has been held up great too, considering it's age. Some rips on the drivers seat from entering/exiting the vehicle. Yes, the ride is rough and the cabin noisy, but this is offset by the versatility and pure joy it is to drive this vehicle. My little jeep has taken me places I shouldn't have gone: steep muddy hills, farm pastures, snow covered roads, muddy roads and never even given the hint of getting stuck. The tight turning radius makes this car easy to park in a crowed mall parking lot. Parallel parking is a breeze. I've towed boats, trailers, land scape materials, and hooked bike racks to this little jeep all with no problem. I use this car as my daily drive for my 25 mile each way commute. Combined country roads, freeway, and city and I get about 18 mpg.

The Jeep Cheerokee sport has to be one of the most reliable, solid and longest lasting SUV's on the road. I am on my 3rd one and the other 2 are still in the family with my brother and nephew. All 3 have over 200,000 miles and none has had any engine or transmission work beyond normal maintenance. The heavy duty suspension, 4 wheel drive and uni-body constructionmake this a go anywhere, anytime vehicle. I feel safe in any type of weather and still tow my boat to my lake property 300 miles away with no worry about breakdowns. The inline 6 cylinder engine has to be one of the best ever made. It still has factory compression and oil pressure. It gets 18 to 26 miles per gallon depending on what speed you drive or what you are towing. That is more than most of the "newer" 4wd vehicles that claim better performance. Your driving vision is great because you sit higher than a car driver and you have no blind spots due to the tinted glass all around the vehicle. For my nephew, this was his first "car". After driving it for the first 2 winters to school and work, he has decided to keep it until he finishes college. He has never missed school or work due to bad weather. If I ever have a serious engine problem, ( and I doubt I will) I would repair or replace it. Heck, another 300,000 miles would be worth the price. Yep, I love my Jeeps.

I've owned my Cherokee for nearly 3 years and have put 60K miles on it. No heavy duty off-roading; just my daily driver. I've been delighted by my Cherokee and would highly recommend it to a friend as long as they know what they're getting: A durable, dependable, rather crude, utilitarian SUV that definitely leans more towards the "truck" end of the spectrum and not the "car" end. Gas mileage is better than expected but still not great. I get around 19 mpg doing a combo of city/highway driving. I have gotten as high as 22 mpg on long highway trips. The ride is somewhat harsh and the cabin is rather loud. Interior surfaces are mostly molded plastic with a rather cheap feel to it that's nowhere near as nice as the stuff you'll find in an average car nowadays. I've had absolutely NO mechanical problems during the 3 years I've owned it. It has been rock-solid durable and does very well in snow. I now have 118K miles on my Jeep and it still runs like new. The 4.0 liter in-line six is virtually bullet proof. If you want a slick, refined, smooth riding, quiet, economical SUV look elsewhere. If you want a rugged, durable, "goes-ANYwhere", rather utilitarian SUV, then this is your vehicle!!! ...and I should probably mention that the rather boxy, aerodynamics-of-a-brick, cool, old school body style of this vehicle earns its driver a kind of instant respect among the brotherhood of Jeep enthusiasts. It's considered a real classic, for good reason.

I purchased My Jeep Cherokee Sport in 2002 used with 48k miles on it and its still purring at 200k plus miles! I used to have a lawn care business which I used the Jeep to start 4yrs towing a 16 foot trailer and equiptment. The transmission is rock solid & engine is powerful for a v6. My only concern is that they dont make them anymore.

OK, with sold axles front and rear, and no CV joints up front, you'll never mistake this for a luxo SUV. But it will go anywhere, anytime, with stone-axe reliability, decent mileage (22 hwy), and decent handling (helped, no doubt, by the low CG courtesy of the uniframe construction).

I purchased my cherokee sport with 73000 miles... I deliver papers 365 days a year with over 350 stops daily...115 miles total...this jeep has never given me a problem...it now has over 178000 miles on it...I would give it 5 stars all the way around if it wasn't for the insufficient extra little compartments that most other cars have..door pockets, or pouches on the back of the front seats, etc. ..It's also very easy to take care of - oil changes and brakes!! It's such a shame they stopped making them!
