  • If you need a compromise, this is a very good one

    Mar 15 '04
    Pros: Off-road capability, distinctive styling, refinement, tight steering, ride and handling (for a true SUV)
    Cons: Acceleration, fuel economy, still more trucky than a car-based SUV

    Summary: These days most compact SUVs are loosely based on front-wheel-drive sedans. While this endows them with a relatively good on-road ride and more car-like on-road handling, it limits their performance off-road. This makes perfect sense for most compact SUV ... read more

  • Used with 28k miles.

    Sep 18 '07
    Pros: Stylish, handling, towing power, commanding view, rear power jack, 5th rim fullsized spare, split rearseat
    Cons: Limited cargo space, small drivers leg room, low MPG's, small fuel tank

    Summary: It is a sharp looking SUV. There is very little cargo room in every compartment including the glove box, which really only fits a couple pairs of gloves. The leg room for the driver's right foot is missing due to the hump in the middle that ... read more

  • New Jeep Liberty Owner and LOVING IT!

    Aug 08 '07
    Pros: Very smooth ride; Gas economy not terrible for a SUV; Good leg room
    Cons: So far, I have none.

    Summary: I just bought a 2004 Jeep Liberty less than a week ago. So far, I love this car! I am transitioning from a sporty and very fun Nissan 350 Z Roadster. I wanted a more practical and mature car, so I decided to go with a SUV. I won't compare the two ... read more

  • Non-Traction Gas Guzzler

    Jul 31 '06
    Pros: Strong V6, good-looking ride
    Cons: Horrible traction, unsafe, top heavy, poor gas mileage

    Summary: My family owns a 2004 Jeep Liberty Limited Edition, 2-wheel drive. It has approx. 38k miles as of now. Performance The 3.7L V6, 210 horsepower/230 ft.lbs. torque engine, does have a good amount of get-up-and-go to it. I've personally clocked a 0-60 ... read more

  • Should have gotten a Trailblazer..

    Mar 09 '06
    Pros: Power, easy steering, small and compact
    Cons: Weird transmission, no traction in wet conditions, horrible gas mileage, poor suspension

    Summary: I have been very unhappy with this vehicle. Some of the problems associated with it are common cons of Jeeps, but this thing is pathetic. First of all, in the rain, it's dangerous. No traction at all. My dad was on an on-ramp one evening after a short ... read more

  • keeps gettin' better

    Aug 19 '05
    Pros: comfort, style & function
    Cons: recycling of air has one position & the window controls are strangely placed

    Summary: I traded in my 97 Honda Accord on the Liberty. Man am I pleased. Let's start with style. Accords have NONE, but this little SUV carries an attitude. The interior really fits me well. I've got long legs and always felt a bit cramped until now. These ... read more

  • Very happy with my first new vehicle

    Feb 02 '05
    Pros: Excellent 4WD system, cute, fun to drive, easy to park and tows great!
    Cons: Gas mileage, minor interior design flaws, front seats could be more comfortable

    Summary: After owning (used) cars all my life, I knew it was time to trade in the convertible after we moved to the north woods of Minnesota. We live on a hill at the end of a private road (meaning we have to plow it ourselves!) No way my poor Sebring was going ... read more

  • SUV Shopping Experience

    Oct 19 '04
    Pros: handles smoothly, 4x4, small suv, reasonable price
    Cons: not enough features for the price

    Summary: This summer I paid off my 199 Hyundai Accent and am currently SUV shopping for a small/midsize SUV. I have decided to purchase a SUV for my 28th Birthday in March. I picked out several SUVS I like and decided to test drive them one by one whenever I get ... read more

  • Not bad for an SUV

    Oct 17 '04
    Pros: Cute exterior, good steering, nice power, good visibility
    Cons: gas mileage, sloping backseats, longer than expecting braking time

    Summary: "Would you like to upgrade to a Jeep Liberty for $5 more a day?" me: "No thanks, I want something with atleast decent gas mileage" Well they upgraded me anyways because they didn't have any compact cars left and I had a 2004 Jeep Liberty for a week. ... read more

  • Jeep Addiction

    Sep 08 '04
    Pros: Perfect size, rides well, very cool
    Cons: Other than the fabric on the seats, none so far!

    Summary: I always wanted a jeep. I can remember being about four, and seeing a photo of my dad, who was then in the reserves, sitting kind of with one leg in one out of a Jeep. I knew right then and there that I'd get one "some day". Well, I didn't get the ... read more

  • Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Driving Happiness

    Aug 03 '04
    Pros: Good looks, Solid feel, exceptional visibility. Power and low speed handling (0-45 MPH)
    Cons: Lower seat design, poor economy, better interior storage (ie, bigger glove box).

    Summary: I've never owned a Jeep until now. I bought my Liberty about 3 weeks ago... and I have no regrets! After only a few weeks of driving it, I will try to give the most comprehensive and objective review the Liberty that I can. The first thing that ... read more

  • Jeep Liberty Sport - An "ok" choice in Small SUV's

    Jul 12 '04
    Pros: Value. Good SUV for money if you stay in the low twenty thousands.
    Cons: Engine Quality, Gas mileage, a bit loud. The "Limited" sucks people into extra cost.

    Summary: A couple of months ago, my wife and I bought a Jeep liberty Sport. I waited a couple of months to write a review so that I could give a fair opinion and I would not be full of "New owner excitment". You know when new owners have nothing but the best ... read more

  • Difficulty deciding?

    Jun 18 '04
    Pros: Ride and handling, towing, off-road ability, swing door, sunroof, interior/exterior styling.
    Cons: Cargo room, storage compartments, roof rack, overall length.

    Summary: I have to be honest, the decision-making process of buying a Liberty was really a struggle. As a previous Xterra owner I was seriously considering purchasing another Xterra and I struggled to find decent comparison information on the pro's and con's ... read more

  • Replaced My Totaled 2003 Limited With A 2004.

    Mar 05 '04
    Pros: SAFETY! Offroad capability
    Cons: Storage space.

    Summary: Due to a run in with a tractor trailer on Interstate 90 in Erie County, Pennsylvania, I had to replace my 2003 Jeep Liberty Limited. It seems that the driver of the tractor trailer didn't realize that the freezing rain that was falling at the time along ... read more

  • Cool Jeepy Ride

    Jan 05 '04
    Pros: Power, A REAL JEEP - Like Wrangler, Not like Cherokee, Great view of road.
    Cons: Short wheel-base, small gas tank, cross-bars for roof rails not included

    Summary: I really shopped around for a small but serious SUV. To my dissapointment, there was not much out there. Most of the small SUVs out there were simply full-time AWD station wagons with big tires. What I mean by this is: 1) Under-powered 2) No option ... read more
