Liberty Excels
Only 7,000 miles so far but have enjoyed the feel of the Liberty, my first Jeep. Ride is comfortable and like the feel of the 4WD action. Have maintained good traction in both snow and rain and takes turns well. Enough power out of 6cyl for my purposes. Excellent look to it and 'part of Jeep family' a plus as well.
liberty freed me
After driving three different vans for over 16 years I am calling this my breakout car. I immediately fell in love with the Jeep Liberty. It has fulfilled all my expectations. My only comment is on its fuel economy. It seems to consume a bit of gas. It could also be that I have never driven a V-6 before. I was very impressed with the 4 x 4. It will certainly fullfill my needs up hear in upstate NY. Other than that every thing about this car has "liberated" me.

Car is a Death Trap
This car was the worse purchase ever. 3 months after driving it, the Steering gave out and it flipped me into a ditch. Don't buy unless you wanna risk death, and the fuel economy will put a hurting on your wallet.
Nice Ride
The Jeep Liberty is one of the best driving experiences around for those who like the rugged quality of a Jeep combined with the comfort of a much higher priced SUV. I bought one after one test drive. This is alot of vehicle for the money......a real steal.
The Best
I love my Liberty, I love to drive it. I have owned many other SUV's even more expensive then the Liberty and I like the Liberty the best.
Liberty
This vehicle is fun to drive and handles well. I haven't had any mechanical problems with it. The fuel economy is a disappointment. I usually get between 15-18 mpg. The interior is very cramped and not meant for anyone with more than one child.
JEEP
GREAT LOVE THE SUV VERY COMFORTABLE VERY SPORTY WOMEN FRIENDLY INTERIOR
Jeep Liberty
My Liberty is still pretty new, but so far I like it very much. I haven't had any problems as of yet.
Love it!
I purchased my Jeep in 2004. It had 13 miles on it when I drove it out of the show room. It's very reliable and I had no major fixes. It now has 84K and still going strong. The ride is rough but I don't mind. All the other features make up for it.. Love My Jeep!
Best Performance SUV
This Suv has been the best car I have purchased.Being an outdoors person I enjoy taking my Liberty out for sport but also use it for daily use.I would highly recommend this SUV to anyone who wants a car with power and a SUV that will get you where you want to go.I dislike the gas mileage but I enjoy driving my Liberty so its worth the price.
Great SUV
I love my liberty. It is great on the road, and off the road. It looks sharp and is comfortable for us "big" guys. I am 6'3 275 and I fit great. My wife loves it to.
jeep
i think the jeep handles very well.
2004 Liberty
so far so good
My Liberty
Get a feeling of real comfort and reliability! Gas Mileage gets better with age! This vehicle, if driven with care, shud last me ten or more years!
Libertys
I own two Libertys, both 2003. They have been great. Only thing I'd change is the original Goodyear tires--the tread is too aggressive if you aren't primarily going to drive off-road. This makes it louder than necessary and a little slick in rain.
Very Satisfied
I drive about 80 miles a day to and from work. Even driving 70 MPH to and from work, I average 19 MPG. I have taken it offroad (mostly on hard and soft packed roads) in southern Utah and it performs very well. I wished the rear seats folded flat (as in the PT Cruiser). Only real complaint: lack of cubby holes to store odds and ends. I did replace the tires within 200 miles of new with a slightly larger set.
Jeep Liberty 4wd w/ sunroof
I just crossed 1000 miles w/ my Liberty. This is my 3rd Jeep (previous Jeeps were 95 Wrangler then 98 Cherokee). My overall impression is a LOT of thought went into this vehicle. We bought it because it looked to be a good combination of car (ease of driving, safety, sportiness) and SUV (carrying capacity, ruggedness, ability to do some light towing). I think they really pulled it off. I have been very impressed with the quality of materials. So far it seems well built for the money. I put a 100k on my Cherokee and look forward to doing the same w/ the Liberty!
JEEP WINS
After spending 5 hrs to get the price down to the sticker We were happy to depart the dealer. The dealer tried to addon features that were already installed and we were buying the sticker price not the dealership. We got home safe and wokeup to 1 foot of snow and went 4 wheeling all day. VERY good compact 4 wheeler JEEP!After test driving a Nissan Xtra, WE were knew Jeep was the Winning 4x4. Just watch the add ons that are not part of the sticker price and opt, also no deal on 72 month 0%, it is a marketing tool.
Great Value
Fun to drive especially with the addition of a Magna Flow Performance Muffler.
jeep renagade 2004
the jeep is a very good ride wonderful in snow with 4wd on. window switches really should be on window . and compartment spaces are very small .. but overall performance is terrific the turning ability is vehicle is amazing,i love my jeep the only thing i would like better is awd .. but i think anyone getting a jeep is getting a very dependable vehicle..
Best vehciel I've ever owned
Flawless,Fun,reliable,tight,ease of entry and egress due to high entry height.Great for older people with disabilities.Torquey and responsive.Rear access door is great for groceries. Above features appeal to both sexes equally. $ wheel drive capabilities appeal to males for versitialty.Best overhaul vehicle I've ever had!
Very Happy!
After over 4 years we are very happy with our first Jeep. My wife wouldn't trade it even up for a new Cadillac. Very reliable. Feels, looks & rides like the day we brought it home. Comfortable and ample room for good size adults in front seats. Only new tires, one recall, and 3 warranty repairs (that were fixed right the first time) through 50K. No, it's not perfect. It's not a big SUV. No back seat leg room. Rear seat does not fold flat and it does ride a bit rough over bumps(but it is a 4WD Jeep). You aren't going to haul a lot of stuff or big stuff in this, but we new all this and bought accordingly. Would highly recommend as long as you check everything out and know what you are getting.
A true Off Roader for everyday
I love my jeep. I put All terrain tires on it and there hasn't been much I can't get through. I have even done off-road courses with about 200 Wranglers, and I kept up with them. They all gave me high fives that I was using it off-road. It is also my daily driver. I have a Limited so it looks good and is a comfortable ride. IT has been my most favorite vehicle. Don't complain about the gas mileage, the vehicle weighs 4500 lbs and is built like a tank. I love the power it has and I have pulled about 10 people that were stuck this winter alone. Even a big 15 passenger van. This is not an Escalade, it is a great everyday, comfortable driver that can handle anything you throw at it.
My New Jeep Liberty
Everthing is great except the gas milage. The sticker predicted 17/23 but I am averaging 13 mpg.
Jeep Liberty
Battery died before 1 year of ownership. Tends to pull to the right. Gas mileage is terrible I have to reach back to for window controls, due to being extremely short. Would rather have controls on dash or doors. I do like how it sits high, I can see out easily.
just wave
love it, i used to wave to every liberty before i got my own, this is my dream car!
liberty limited
I love my Jeep Liberty, it's fun, sharp looking, fun comfortable, very reliable and I feel very safe driving this vehicle. The vehicle sits tall and I feel like my vehicle can get through any puddles or debri in the road. I wouold not change my vehicle for another vehicle. I love the interior of the vehicle, it's sharp and very modern looking. The stereo is awesome and very clear. Also the engine is powerful and appears to be a little SUV, but when you press on the gas, there you go. Excellent purchase choice.
Liberty is Awesome!!
The jeep had the best feel to it by far. It drives like a Jeep yet has a refined element to it. The size is perfect, not to big, not to small like the Rav4. Everything about the interior is absolutely AWESOME!!! And the styling is the best of the small SUV's by far. It's easily the funnest SUV to drive. Drive one and you'll see what I mean. I purchased the G-package and my total cost for the package was around $2700 and then it had a $1600 manufactures rebate. Not to mention the $1500 rebate on all Liberty's. If you're in the market for a small SUV but don't want an SUV that is too small, buy this one! I can't say enough good things about it!
WISH IT HAD A BIGGER MOTOR
I REALLY LIKE THE JEEP LIBERTY THAT I BOUGHT. I HAVE THE FREEDOM EDITION AND MAN IT LOOKS SHARP. I LIKE THE 17" TIRES AND RIMS, LOVE THE HALF CLOTH AND LEATHER FEATURE. THE ONLY DRAW BACK IS THAT I STEPPED OUT OF A 5.7 LITER V8 CHEVY INTO A 3.7 LITER V6 AND MAN DO I MISS THE POWER WHEN IT COMES TO PASSING PEOPLE AT 70 PLUS MILES PER HOUR. BUT HEY I DID HEAR A RUMOR THAT THEY PLAN ON BUILDING A NEWER MODEL WITH A 2 DOOR BODY AND A BIGGER ENGINE. ITS THATS TRUE I MAY HAVE TO UPGRADE FOR THAT ONE. I WOULD BUY THIS ONE IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A SPORTY BUT PRACTICAL SPORT UTILITY... ENJOY YOURS LIKE I HAVE..
AWESOME!!!!!
This car has already seen a ton of milage I had a family reunion in Nebraska and Arkansas and we drove... this car is an absolute beauty... I love how little the dash board is... its not ever in your way and doesn't take up room. Shes so beautiful to look at, tough and yet elegant. E-mail me... I am a big fan of this little SUV!!!
2003 Jeep Liberty Sport
This Liberty is a nice little truck. It has a great 210 HP V6 engine with good acceleration, a nice design, and a good ride for a truck. I've been to the dealer once with a "transmission problem", but it was fixed and it runs great now.
I Love the Liberty!
I picked up my '04 Liberty 2 weeks ago. Have to travel 45 miles each way to work - all highway miles. I am so glad I purchased the Liberty. I just have a Sport model, but it has the anti-lock brakes and speed control. I also love the aluminum rims which were part of the package. This vehicle makes me feel so safe. It is smooth and sturdy. Even the gas mileage isn't as bad as I thought. I agree that this vehicle is so much fun to drive, you don't mind the gas as much. Highly recommended!
Nice Job Jeep!
I've had this jeep for 2 months now and I'm very happy with it! I traded a Montero Sport that was decked out and I really like this Jeep a bunch. The interior is tight and well designed. I like the curved hood too! I recommend it to all~!
I'm disappointed in you, Jeep!
Did I just get a bad apple of the whole bunch? Nothing but problems since I bought this Jeep! Warped rotors, oil leak, broken spring that got caught up in the brakes and made noise for months that the dealer could not figure out! Loud popping noises when making hard right turns in either forward or reverse, dealer finally attributed this to the ball joint recall currently in effect.
Def. a Jeep!
I purchased this vehicle, replacing a very large and gas hogging Full-size 4X4 truck, and am very pleased with my choice. Roomy, fun to drive, lots of space for junk and stuff like that. Have had very little problems with it at all, besides regular maintenance. I joy to own and drive off road too!
Jeep liberty
I love my liberty its fun to drive and have had no problems. I would buy another one!
my liberty
Its a smart car, I love it
AWESOME Jeep Liberty
Best car ever. Awesome styling, comfort is GREAT, ride is GREAT, handling is GREAT. What a FUN vehicle to own and drive.
Never Again
I asked to try a manual 6 cyl. I went for a ride around the block. It was sweet. The purchase went wrong from the start.Getting on the interstae, it could not get up to speed to blend into traffic. My heart was in my throat. Chris Myers exchanged the oops 4 cyl. they sold to me as a 6 cyl. I haven't been satisfied since. I've had difficulty with the back hatch doorlock since I bought it. They "fixed it" but still won't unlock at times. The purchase agreement was to have a roof rack installed that I could leave on or remove as I wanted. They put on a skimpy aftermarket roof rack screwed to the roof. It looks sad!
Hot topic
Love thecar and the ride.
My Jeep
Great Suspension. Fun to Drive. A real eye catcher
2004 Jeep Liberty
Driven Jeep YJ's for 15 years and this is a nice change. Had to lift the front end 1.5 inches to make it level though. Much better looking and visability now.
Solid Vehicle
Bought Jeep new in Jan 04. Had transmission issue shortly after getting it but was fixed under warranty and never had any further maint. issues at all. Just had to trade it in for van since 3 kids will not fit in it.Was great vehicle, made several long distance trips up and down East coast, and cross state trips. Had plenty of power, decent gas mileage avg @20MPG. Did my best to follow Manufacturers maint schedule. Besides hiccup with trans. had absolutely nothing go wrong with it at all. Held up very well was very happy with it overall and would recommend to anybody.Very fun to drive.
good pick
comfortable, good accereration and very reasonable price. can tow easily and the handling is prety good too. it is a great value, and tops in its cals.
Love my Jeep!
My last Jeep was a 1994 Wrangler... loved that Jeep! However, I'm in sales and wanted a nicer looking vehicle to arrive at clients in. Last March we checked out the Liberty for my husband but he had his heart set on an Xterra. This Jan I decided that I had to have a Renegade!
Jeep Sport
Just bought this on the advice of a friend who has had hers for about a year says it's the best car she has ever driven or owned.
jeep liberty sport
the best 4wd i have driven. had a blaze never again. the jeep dealer was very helpful and did not try to sell me something i did not want.
Great ride
I enjoy being higher off the ground. Very fun & comfortable to drive. I live in an area with poor road conditions. so it's less bumpy. Costs a lot in gas. Love the V6 -- great for the highway. Helped a lot when I was moving.
Way to go Toledo!
We traded in my wife's Toyota RAV4 for this Jeep largely due to Toyota's poor customer service in Hawaii. I couldn't drive or ride in the RAV4 because it made me carsick for some reason. So the Jeep was a good trade. I must admit we spent way more than we should have since dealers in Hawaii are a big rip off! The only problem we have had with the Liberty was a flasher that went out last spring $38 part from the dealership and I put it in myself in under 20 minutes. I would prefer better tires than the Goodyears that are on it now. It's good to see that Jeep is still making a good product and keeping Americans employed in Toledo, Ohio. Thanks MOPAR for our family car.
I hope this car lasts forever!
I love this thing. I want it to last forever. I have zero complaints after almost 6 years of ownership. Edmunds.com helped me make the decision to buy so I thought I'd finally come back and pay it forward. I will say, I've had to replace parts that I haven't seen die out so early in other cars. I've replaced the part that keeps your windows up. I've replaced both front speakers. I've replaced my belts and hoses. I've replaced my battery a few times. Still, at the end of the day, my Liberty Limited is holding up quite nicely and no matter what car I end up renting or trying out, I always find myself more comfortable in the Jeep.
