    Jeep Cherokee 1998 FAQs

    Would a Jeep Cherokee, Alfa Romeo Stelvio or Land Rover Discovery be a good first four-wheel-drive?

    That’s quite a broad range of abilities you’ve listed there. Both the Jeep and the Land Rover are pretty serious off-roaders while, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio is an SUV that really has no pretenses to working on a bush track.

    None of this trio would be cheap to service, and modern turbo-diesel engines really do need their maintenance to remain reliable. In terms of industry reputation, the Jeep has a background of electrical and build-quality problems, while the Land Rover and Alfa Romeo also have their share of quality glitches. Many owners put up with this stuff, but if you’re going to head seriously outback, there are probably better choices.

    The other part of the equation is what happens when you wish to sell the vehicle in a few years. Frankly, all three of these cars will be a reasonable bet to suffer plenty of depreciation although, to be fair, a 2021 version of each will already have done some of that.

    How much is my broken car worth?

    It’s not worth much at all, less than $1000.

    Why won't the cruise control engage in my 2014 Jeep Cherokee?

    There’s clearly a problem with the car’s electronics. Take it to a dealer and have it diagnosed to establish the cause of the issue. It can then be fixed.
