Pros: Low-end torque, fuel economy better than gas V6
Cons: Still smells and sounds like a diesel, fuel economy nowhere near hybrids, diesel fuel prices
The Bottom Line: I like the Jeep's unique look and feel, but the diesel doesn't make financial sense.
The recent spike in fuel prices got many people thinking about fuel economy. In the SUV segment, the hybrid versions of the F

Pros: Does everything well, surprising cargo capacity.
Cons: Not a class leader in any one area, interior stains easily.
The Bottom Line: A great do-it-all vehicle for people who require variety in the capability of their SUV.
Overview In 2002, the Jeep Liberty (KJ) debuted as a replacement for the Jeep Cherokee (XJ). In addition to the aesthetic redesign, major changes were to the drivetrain, replacing the 4.0L inline six with a 3.7L V6 and replacing the solid ...

Pros: Sporty, fun to drive.
Cons: Noisy, and transmission is clunky.
The Bottom Line: The Liberty is a fun-to-drive, small SUV. It has a few problems but I recommend it if you can tolerate the road noise.
This review was moved from Helium.com I've been driving a 2006 Jeep Liberty for about three weeks now, and I have to say I like it. It has its faults to be sure, but in general it's a fun little SUV. Actually, I've driven two different ...

Pros: 2.8L Intercooled Turbo Diesel,
Fuel Mileage,
Full Time 4WD, Part Time 4WD and 4LO
Cons: Limited Production ~11,200 units,
Diesel Clatter might take a bit to get used to
The Bottom Line: The value of the Jeep Liberty CRD really is greater than the "Sum of It's Parts". Fuel Mileage, Towing, 4x4, Safety!
The Little Diesel that could! Everyone is familiar with the Large Truck Diesels in the US Market, but don't let this Torque Monster "Escape" (Ford Humor) your "short list". It deserves a serious gander if you are in the market for a midsize Sport ...

Pros: Handling, power, Sportiness, split rear seats.
Cons: Cramped rear leg room, no cubby holes, little storage.
The Bottom Line: Great SUV, I absolutely recommend the liberty for power, handling and appeal.
I bought the Liberty after comparing it to the Toyota and Honda and after reviewing several consumer reports articles on small SUV's. The Liberty handles well, is great in foul weather and eases into and out of 4 wheel drive with no problems. I've driven ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: No
Pros: Good Size - Engine is smooth - 4-wheel drive is world-class
Cons: Seats are horrible - Gas mileage - Tailgate design - Premium Stereo is muddy
The Bottom Line: If you don't mind a terrible seat and need a strong 4-wheel drive that can traverse the Alps -- this is your truck!
2006 Liberty Limited 3.7 Select-Trac w/ESP This is a solid truck ... and not a car-based wanna be SUV. The 6-cylinder engine is sufficient to propel you to illegal speeds on the highway and to grunt through the Rubicon Trail. The automatic ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Mileage, 4x4 capability, style
Cons: Not as roomy as I was used to, but otherwise nothing!
The Bottom Line: I highly recommend the Jeep Liberty CRD - it is a reasonably priced compact SUV, with great mileage and it's practical if you will be encountering poor driving conditions.
I bought my Jeep Liberty Sport (CRD, aka common-rail diesel) just over a week ago. I live in Alberta and I was able to get it on a 3 year lease for 0% interest, payments and payout at end of lease are very reasonable. Purchase price would have been ...

Pros: Solid, sturdy
Cons: cheap interior, ugly exterior, drinks gas like a fish.
The Bottom Line: a low cost, sturdy 4wd vehicle. the low price gets made up at the pump.
I recently had the opportunity to drive a 2006 Jeep Liberty and was much more impressed with the SUV as a whole then with the 2003 version I drove the base 4wd model with the standard features. The liberty has a very solid feel and drives like a car, ...

Pros: comfortable seating, 4x4, nice ride
Cons: lower gas mileage, little glove box
The Bottom Line: I think that if you need 4x4 and don't want a pickup that this would be a great thing to purchase.
I purchase a Jeep Liberty Limited Edition in April. It only had 34000 miles on it and I don't think that anybody had ever sat in the back seat. We paid $14900 for it and it even still had some warranty on it. It has electric seats, locks and ...

Pros: A great handling SUV.
Cons: I had to drive over 100 miles to get this model but worth it.
The Bottom Line: A great purchase for it's size and handling.
My husband wanted this little SUV in a diesel model more than any other car out there. Well, for once, he was right. I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee but now I drive the Liberty more often. The steering, handling and pick-up on this diesel model is ...

Pros: Good gas mileage. Easy to maintain.
Cons: Small inside. Not alot of power.
The Bottom Line: Good car for scooting around town or even taking off road. Bad for a trip.
My wife owns an 06 Jeep Liberty. At the time I met her I owned an 02 Nissan Xterra. To my disapointment, she was going up an icy hill as I followed. Both vehicles had new tires. She went with no problem while I sat and spun. The drive train of the 06 ...

Pros: Rugged, sporty feel.
Lots of engine power.
excelent foul weather vehicle
Cons: - feels a little cramped
- needs more leg room
The Bottom Line: would make an excellent commuter or sports enthusiast vehicle. Not recommended as a long road trip car.
I've rented a Jeep Liberty twice now because it has been a vehicle I am seriously considering buying. During my two usages there are some obvious things I can point out. But, I will admit, it's not quite the same as owning/driving one day-in/day-out. ...

Pros: Great performance and handling.
Cons: Gas mileage should be better!
The Bottom Line: If someone stole it today, I'd buy another tomorrow!
I've had my brand new Liberty 12 months now & just hit 34,000 miles (I drive alot)and it has been excellent. I was surprised to read in the manual that Jeep suggests changing the rear end fluid EVERY 12,000 miles! I've been having the dealership do it ...

2006 Jeep Liberty CRD
by buffymcpooter
May 20 '07
Author's Product Rating:
Recommended: Yes
Pros: Great driveability, mileage, power. Very versatile vehicle.
Cons: Dealers (service) in my area are a total joke.
I've had the Liberty CRD for 15 months. It's the best overall vehicle I've owned. I get 23 mpg for my normal everyday driving and close to 30 mpg on the highway.
The engine has great torque. It pulls my 20' utility trailer with ease. It handles nicely and turns on a dime. It uses the 545RFE transmission which is also used with the Hemi V8s. The CRD also has SelecTrac transfer case which offers part-time AND full-time modes. The 2006 models also come with Electronic Stability Package and electronic Traction Control. Both of these features work well.
If it had more internal storage space it would be perfect. It has a small center console and glove box. The rear seats don't fold completely flat. I wish it had another foot of space behind the back seat.
I paid $21,800 for it new. The diesel Grand Cherokees are over $40K.
I had a minor sensor problem that I ended up fixing myself after taking it to the dealer three times. Read about that experience here: http://eurekaboy.com/jeepcomplaintletter.htm
Overall I'd give the Liberty CRD five stars.
