Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes 
Pros: good looks, great 4WD, solid, relatively roomy, powerful
Cons: bad fuel economy, frequent trips to the gas station, cheap-looking steel wheels, weird transmission
The Bottom Line: I definitely recommend this vehicle because after a year of ownership, and with 80,000 miles, this car is still running very strongly and reliably.
The exterior of this vehicle was at least 50% of the reason why I bought it. I like the fact that it comes across as one those "cute utes," but actually has real off-road ability. Plus, it blends in, so the cops don't notice you :)Before I bought ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Good gas mileage, good looks, depreciates fast, lots of head room, FAST acceleration
Cons: Uncomfortable seats in long drives, bad placement of pedals due to trans 'hump'
The Bottom Line: The looks and feel sold me on this vehicle. I would recommend you drive one for a few hours before buying to see if the seats will agree with you.
I bought this jeep a couple weeks ago. We bought it because our 'commuter' truck gets 12 mpg and we wanted a gas saver but needed a four wheel drive that would commute in the snowy mountains every day and needed something I would fit into since I'm six ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Roomy interior and a compact new age style.
Cons: Cheap looking interior panels, passenger foot room is compromised due to the transmission tunnel.
The Bottom Line: An exceptionally well priced SUV with no problems thus far.
On our search for a used SUV there were several options that I was considering. The Jeep Liberty, Ford Escape, Chevrolet Trailblazer, and the Mazda Tribute. They all were within our price range. We found our 2003 Jeep Liberty and we liked it from the ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Handles well, feels very sturdy. Has a lot of weight for a small truck.
Cons: Drinks a lot of gas.
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this truck for its looks and reliability despite the fact that it drinks a lot of gas.
I love my '03 Liberty Limited Edition. Although it is an '03 I got it in January of '04. He drinks a lot of gas, that is why I named it BABYGUZ short for GUZZLER. In spite of that I get 7 days from a tank. Thank GOD I can use regular gasoline. This is my ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Legendary Jeep ruggedness; powerful engine; great traction in snow.
Cons: Twitchy handling; idiots who call it a "chick SUV".
The Bottom Line: I recommend the Liberty without hesitation. It's hands down the most reliable and durable vehicle I've ever owned.
We bought our 2003 Liberty Sport 4WD in February 2004 as a dealer leftover. We had been looking at a Ford Escape but Ford had no dealer incentives at the time and Jeep was offering $2000 rebates on the '03 Liberty as well as a military discount (I'm a ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Responsive power, Cool looks, Excellent off-road capability.
Cons: Cheap cloth seats. Position of window buttons inconvenient.
The Bottom Line: The liberty is a rugged off-roader and a comfortable daily use SUV. If you are buying a 4-wheel drive, then go for the full time 4WD system.
My 4-wheel drive Liberty Sport now has 28k miles on it. I bought it used in December of 2004. I drive this vehicle every day and about half of the mileage I've put on has been highway miles. I have no real complaints! It has the 3.7 liter V6 engine ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Reliable (except in parking lots), rugged, good design, fun to drive, very roomy.
Cons: No traction lock. Even in 4WD, can get stuck if one side has no traction.
The Bottom Line: Great merge between an off-road vehicle and a street vehicle. Right between the WRANGLER and CHEROKEE.
I bought this jeep 2 years ago in NY, one week before I drove it out to California. It was a hard time getting the Liberty I wanted, which the dealer kept telling me was "On the rail, should be here any day" -- But my time was limited, and after 3 ... read more

Cons: My God, We Just Filled This Thing Up!
The Bottom Line: CLICK HERE TO BUY NOW! JUST KIDDING! SUPREME OFF ROAD RULER!
Let me just start off by saying that I am going to write a review about the Liberty that I own. Not about the ones that I do not own. I have a 2003 Jeep Liberty Freedom Edition. Is is awesome. I bought this after trading a Ford Focus. What ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Quality of power train, interior and exterior finish, handling and power
Cons: Seating and pedal position
The Bottom Line: One of only a few SUV's in this market capable of true off-road and city use. Performs excellently at both.
I'm extremely pleased with my '03 Liberty Ltd. Performance: Power from the 3.7L V6 is excellent and abundant throughout the RPM range. The suspension in the Liberty is typical Jeep...rock solid. I had about 500lbs of concrete mix bags in the back ... read more

Pros: Solid off-roader and weekday commuter
Cons: Somewhat rough ride in back seat.
The Bottom Line: If you're looking for a weekday commuter and weekend off-roader, this may be the perfect vehicle for you. Look closely, and stay away from from car based SUV's
----Begin Edit---- See bottom of review for 100K mile update ----End Edit---- I've owned a 2003 Jeep Liberty Renegade for a little over a year. It's a great vehicle and I wouldn't trade it for any other car in the world right now (uhhh...in this ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros:
base options,power,4X4,price,reliability
Cons:
lack of cargo nets (1),glove box(more like a hole),MPG,
The Bottom Line: With Chrysler's Financial options and the overall cost of this vehicle, it's a big hit. This is one Jeep you can go in debt for!
Ok, First off, it's a Jeep! It's not you're economy car (although when treat right and kept up on regular maintenance it will give you around 22-23 city mpg (at least mine does). Second, it's still a Jeep! It's not a Lincoln Towncar, so you're going ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Extremely capable off-road, tows well, powerful engine, 7/70 powertrain warranty. Priced very well.
Cons: Power window switch placement. Not enough interior lighting. Smallish cargo hold.
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this for anyone who needs 4x4 capability & all around ease of use of a vehicle.
I was looking for a small to medium-size SUV for towing a folding camping trailer, & shopped the Escape, Explorer, 4-Runner & Liberty. Found out the Liberty was the best priced of the bunch. Also came with a 7-year, 70,000-mile powertrain warranty, ... read more

Pros: Fit, Finish, Power, Handling, Ruggedness, Versa-Utility
Cons: Mileage, cargo area, Lousy Mileage, drivers seat, Did I mention the CRAPPY mileage,
The Bottom Line: I recommend the Jeep Liberty because it is a fun vehicle that is well built and peppy. It feels like it will last forever.
In a nutshell I’d have to say that I love this Jeep. There are certain things about it that drive me nuts but with any marriage that is going to happen. My 98 Dodge Intrepid was showing wear and tear and so I decided that it was time to let the old ... read more

Pros: Reliable and sturdy.
Cons: Needs visors with pullout shade extenders for side protection! Back seats a little cramped. Feminine
The Bottom Line: Great Reliable SUV that is not too expensive and has all the features. You should not be disappointed!
I am an extremely picky car person and had done a lot of research before buying my wife a Jeep Liberty. I am 6'2" tall and can fit comfortably into the drivers seat. The best thing about the Jeep Liberty is its reliability, features, and cost. We have ... read more

Pros: powerful, nicely designed, nimble handling (for an SUV)
Cons: HARD seats, few amenities
The Bottom Line: A great replacement for the aging Cherokee, combining Jeep versatility with more sedan-like comforts.
Almost two years ago while taking a quick look at the PT Cruiser, I came across the 2002 Jeep Liberty in my dealerŐs showroom. At the time it was a new model, untested in the real world. I passed on it, opting for yet another Ford Explorer Sport. ... read more

Pros: Great Styling, rugged durability, superior braking, excellent off-road prowess.
Cons: Poor seating design, lack of lighting, and some silly design concepts
The Bottom Line: Absolutley a must look if you're in the market for a medium-small SUV. Terrific overall experience, and the Jeep culture is a great group of people.

Pros: Looks great, rides solid, peppy and strong V6 3.7.
Cons: Below average gas mileage. Could use more body length.
The Bottom Line: If you're looking for a sporty little "UTE", you really need to include this in your test drive list.
Seven months and 7,000 miles into my lease of this black Jeep Liberty 2003 Limited Edition and I'm very pleased so far with the decision to get it.
I had originally gone to the dealership to look for a Sebring convertible, but when I saw the ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 50 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Appearance, 4wd ability, visibility, and affordable options
Cons: Small gas tank (18.5g)+ Low MPG (16.5) = Many visits to the gas pump.
The Bottom Line: Whether you conquer the concrete jungle or off-road in the MOAB, the Jeep Liberty can appeal to your needs.
Though I didn't want to admit it, my 1987 Chevrolet Blazer was rapidly becoming an artifact: the speakers had all but disintegrated, the odometer turned over to 150k, and I had long forgotten the merits of cruise control after being without it for two ... read more
