Jeep Liberty Pray for Low Gas Prices

Jeep Liberty is FUN to drive, especially in adverse conditions, ie. heavy snowfall, and offroad. It is a pleasure to drive onroad, especially with the kids in the backseat. Great view of the road, a breeze to steer and tight turning radius. Breaks are magnificent, I had to lay on them once, and they came through when I thought I was going to end up in the trunk of the car in front of me who stopped past their turn. VERY IMPRESSIVE!

It was time to by a new car for my wife. We looked at the new liberty. Bought one that same day. The V-6 blew me away. The ride is great. A big selling piont with me was the 5000 pound tow capacity. After 15,000 miles my wife loves it. I have only a few complants with the car. They include: not alot of foot room in the front. My legs feel cramped on long drives. Not alot room to move them around. The seat in relationship with the door armrest is in a odd spot. Overall, I like this car and would drive it every day. That is if I could ever get the key away from my wife.

I had wanted a liberty since last May. I bought one in October and it was great for about two months then my troubles began. I've had to go to the dealership to have my front suspension replaced, but it seems that my rear suspension is bad too. My heating system has a tendency to smell like a skunk, and my brakes don't work well any more and I don't even have 6000 miles .Overall ride quality has just gotten worse. I was going to buy an Escape,but decided on the Liberty,I may have made a mistake.

I've had my Jeep for over 3 months now, already put over 10,000 miles and absolutely no problems. Everyone comments how great it looks, and it performs awesome off-road. Already taken it out in off the trails in the desert washes outside of Joshua Tree, and up several mountains around the desert. Worked well in all terrains offroad, and drives like a sportscar on the road with very tight handling and suspension.
