I absolutely love this old Jeep. This is my third Cherokee and I adore their lumpy, punchy and thirsty 4.0 engine as well as their rugged charm.
It's no S Class to drive but their rather basic 1980s engineering is what makes it so enjoyable to drive. It's boxy body and straight lines are just so retro and is what Jeep Heads love about them.
Inside, well it's funky American plastic all round and the leather is comfortable and hard wearing. The Limited, Orvis and 60th Anniversary models all come very well equipped with plenty of extras inside and out.

If I was able to criticise this Jeep in any way be careful in the the wet/ice when in 2 wheel drive, it slides out very easily as there is so much power however it will pull anything you need it to but at a cost as even when not towing it loves the stuff. I average around 17mpg but it's worth every penny because every time I get behind the wheel, I smile!!!

In 4 words: ICONIC, RETRO & GREAT FUN !!!

Well the car drives smoothly and is fuel efficient when well serviced. You get a pop up reminder to service the car after a certain millage. The boot is spacious can fit in loads of shopping and baby's pushchair ideal for family. Has the added rear view camera when parking. Easy to find spare parts at reasonable prices.

I found mine to have a very spartan interior and drive like a small lorry but with a bit of care and attention it just goes on and on.

They have a very generous towing limit of 3.5 tonnes and are very capable of towing it, something which nearly all of competition just cannot do, legally.

I found that spares are readily available both new and secondhand.

In my opinion the 200Tdi engine, which has a proven record of reliability, is probably the best of the bunch, as it doesn't have any niggling electronic control units to worry about. This results in an engine which is easy to repair by any competent mechanic as a computer is not required to reset or setup the engine.

The four wheel drive system is a direct implant from the Range Rover, with high and low gear ranges, a total of 10 forward and 2 reverse gears are available as well as a diff lock in all gears.

If you are thinking of buying one be sure to check out the following:

Make sure that the high/low gear selector and diff lock are all working as they should.

Also make sure you get under and check the chassis is not rotten especially the section just behind the front wheels, and just in front of the rear wheels. The rear crossmember is prone to rust as well. These are all MOT fails. A chassis which has been professionally welded will be OK but check for a bodged job and be prepared to walk away. A replacement chassis would not be a consideration.

Check out the steering box, engine, and gearbox/transfer box for oil leaks. You will usually find these are all leaking, a small amount of oil is acceptable but a drip will cost money and may be a MOT fail.

Look at the swivel joints on the ends of the front axle on the inside of the wheels, you will have to get underneath again. Make sure that the shiney silver swivels are not pitted with rust and are not leaking oil as these are expensive to repair and are an MOT fail.

Check the interior seats are OK and not badly worn or torn, they are an easy fix but expensive to replace.

This is my first time to buy a Nissan. I opted for 2.0dci engine as after test drive of smaller 1.5dci found it slightly underpowered and the engine bit rattily. Having covered over 60k apart from regular servicing I have had no major issues. I am in process of changing and will be having a look at 1.6dci.

Fantastic car! Very reliable. No problems. So smooth and quiet to drive and really comfortable! Looks great too. Parking sensors are a real bonus.

I bought my 2008 C5 in march 2012 with 36000 miles on the clock. I have had to replace 2 lower front ball joints, front coil spring and a new power steering rack all in the first 12 months........I contacted Citroen about my steering rack and was quoted £1500 to replace it......I can not wait to get rid of this piece of French rubbish.....

Have had the 06 Jetta for over 5 years now. Was 15k miles on her then and there are 101k on her now and shes never given me a bit of bother - bar the brake management system failing within 50k.

Apparently this was a common fault in the various VW family different cars.
VW paid 100% parts 50% labour so I wasnt too annoyed.

Couple of minor things going wrong with her now, EGR valve is going to need replaced and ill have to get a new set of shocks for the suspension but nothing you wouldnt expect for the miles shes done.

Very sturdy, safe car - the doors weigh a tonne!

She doesnt have anywhere near the toys of a Passat - they are more like VW Golf's only with a rear end!

The only car I've ever owned that drives as solid as a good BMW.
The comfort is incredible and the mpg is amazing. It just drives forever.
One of the most reliable cars on the road still today.
A real shame the new model VW Passat has so many faults. This older model had none.
Best family car we've had. We paid over book price for a good one and it never let us down.

I owned this car for 7 years and it is the best car I ever had. Nothing went wrong with it in that time and I just had to replace items due to wear and tear - brakes tyres etc. As a result it was very cheap to run. This was helped by love tax and good fuel economy. I was able to get into the high fifties at times. The car maintained it'd freshness through out the years and looked the part.

Had this car for nearly three years with continual breakdowns 17 to be exact. This car cut out whilst driving at speed and didn't start on many occasions. This is an unreliable family vehicle, of which I would never have another. If I could give no stars in this review I would.

This was my second renault megane (bought in 2012) - my first ever car being a renault megane approx 10 years ago! I've been lucky to drive many 'high grade' company cars, but with a change in career, this was my first personal purchase of a car. The car looked really sporty, was very comfortable to drive, but one of the best things was its low running costs - diesel version. It fell into a low tax bracket and the insurance was very palatable! This is a fantastic car, with all the style of a car twice its price!

I've had this car a year and at the start I was drawn to the unusual body shape. The novelty soon wore off and I grew to detest it. Visually I hate this car, it's boring to drive and has very little feel behind the wheel. The interior buttons rarely work first time and it's very bland visually. I would NOT recommend it to anyone. if you were pulled in by how it looks, give it a few months and you'll probably change your mind. It was an expensive mistake but luckily the resale value isn't too bad, that's the only good thing about this car.
