This is my second Liberty. The 2002 had the gas engine and averaged 18-19 on the highway at best. This diesel version approaches 30mpg at 58-65 mph. I love the tight turning radius which makes parking a breeze and the fact it is much more nimble than the larger Jeep Grand Cherokee. It has proved very capable of pulling a heavy trailer and pushing through snow. We are very happy with it. The diesel is barely audible with the radio or CD player on and never smells like a Greyhound bus.

Purchased 2005 Jeep Liberty Sport 4x4 on 6/30/05 with 14 miles on it. Has been in the shop with a known transmission defect (but apparently undisclosed by manufacturer) for over a month. The release date for the repair has come and gone, but it is now on back order. Chrysler/Jeep will not stand behind product. Told me to sue them under lemon law. Think twice before you buy! At the very least verify that the vehicle you purchase was manufactured after April 2005.

There is nothing that I would even compare to the Liberty, specifically the Renegade model. They have tons of power, they are strong, heavy, and built to do whatever you desire of it. My only problem is that it consumes gas at an alarming rate. This is a result of the strong V6 paired with nearly 5000 pounds of SUV.
I love this Jeep

This has been one of the best vehicles I've ever owned. The only big problem I've had is the transmission went out at65k of course that was immediately following 2ft of snow, in which I used my Jeep to pull a Mazda 3 up a very large exit ramp in the snow, and pull a Durango 4WD out of the snow. I have lived in 3 different areas since buying my Jeep varying between HOT and Cold Climates and it has never failed to perform. It does ride a bit ruff for everyday use but it's well worth it considering how tough this Jeep is. The only thing stopping me from buying another one is the new body style. I hope they change it back by the time I need a new 1 or at least mount the spare on the back again.
Would I do it again? No

Bought new and had problems with brakes from day one. Always told no prob with them even after did not stop me and rear ended someone. Good thing holds up well with very minor damage in crash. Caliper froze while driving had to replace. Prob with CD player skipping on new store bought Cds. AC not very cool takes long time to cool cabin down. It is great in snow and fun to drive. Had other minor issues with vehicle and spent quite a few times in the shop only to be told could not find the problems. Lots of rattles after 4 years. Maintenance on this vehicle very expensive in comparison to others. Also I agree with everyone these seats do stain very very easily. Plain water stains.
