08 Liberty is purely awesome
I got this new Jeep about 7 months ago and It is the best car I've ever ridden in, driven, and owned. It is the most comfortable ride of any car I've had. My dad's BMW doesn't even drive as well as the Jeep. It could be a bit more powerful. The manual transmission that happens to be $850 less than the auto solves the problem of fuel efficiency. The new Jeep styling has made a huge impression not just on me but on all my friends. There is a lot of room for a mid-sized SUV. The car's price, fair reliability, ease of driving, and small turning radius make it a great car for beginner drivers. And parents don't worry about safety, this car is a tank. buy this car and you won't be disappointed.
I'm a convert!
I live in a small town in Alaska where owning the right vehicle is a life or death matter. You don't want to lose it on some desolate highway, stuck in a snowbank, waiting for someone to drive by while your breath forms sheets of ice on the inside of the windows. Been there! I have driven this Liberty in the nastiest weather and it handles like it was made for snow. I recommend the Selec-Trac 4 wheel drive system over the optional Command-Trac, which is more like AWD with a 4 low option. Whether there's 6 inches of fresh snow on the road, slush, ice, or I'm just bouncing down the trail to my favorite fishing hole, this Jeep was made for Alaska!

Confused Liberty Owner
Drove all mid-sized SUVs reported to be the best in class, Highlander, Outlander, CR-V, saw ads about lifetime warranty for Jeep products and decided to test drive the Liberty, could not believe how the Liberty handled, read Consumer Report review and was confused if they drove the same Liberty I did, have tried to find a good review on the Liberty with no luck, vehicle may lack refinement the others have but considering incentives and warranty this was a easy decision.
Excellent 4wd SUV!
This is my 4th Jeep Liberty. Every one that I have owned have run excellently, very reliable and safe. Never had any issues. I've had my 08 Liberty Limited for only 4 months. Last week a woman ran a red light at 45 miles/hr and hit the front driver's side of me. My airbags (front & side curtain) went off and they saved me from very serious injury. The Jeep is a total loss, but I can tell you it did excellently in the accident. I feel very safe with the Liberty's. I am in the process of buying another one as I type this! Highly recommended to anyone looking for a safe and reliable 4wd SUV.
Its a Jeep thing: Most don't understand
First of all, this is the best vehicle I have owned and my 7th Jeep. Some vehicles just "fit" and some don't. This really fits well. The engineers did well with seat comfort, equalizing armrest height and control placement to make for a great experience. The best news: It looks like a Jeep, it drives like a Jeep and it feels like a Jeep, not a Lexus and fortunately not Toyota. I love the Skyslider, mine is quiet because they performed the TSB and installed a new bow. The ESP is amazing. I live in snow country in western New York and I rarely use the 4WD since ESP and all-speed traction control are so effective. I hope the Jeep brand and feel aren't diluted in the future.
