Car review people don't know what they are talking about. They don't live in Colorado. The Liberty has adequate power to get you on I-25 on long on ramps. It is good in city traffic on acceleration. The 4 speed transmission may be outdated, but the newer 7 + speed transmissions on newer Jeeps like the Renegade or Cherokee (not the Grand) designed by Fiat have problems, beware. The 4 speed transmission on the 2012 Liberty is very reliable. Sure it is not a luxury vehicle, but you don't live in it. It is good overall despite it's fuel economy, but most 6-8 bangers don't get that well of gas mileage, especially the Toyota 4-runners, which the Jeep Liberties are supposed to be matched to, not like the Rav-4 or other wimpy crossovers that use 4 bangers. Car critics don't know what they are talking about because they don't own the vehicles they test. It is just their opinion. Talk to ones who own the Liberties and uses them. You will not find very many Jeep liberties on the used car lot. Many are keeping their jeeps.

We recently purchased a 2012 Liberty Latitude from CarMax. We bought a 2002 a year after it came from CarMax in 2003. We loved the old one but it tired and we got a Town and Country 2012. My wife's car, a 2008!sevring convertible was difficult to use in Texas Summers. This winter she decided she wanted the van. So I got the Liberty. It's the old one but so much better. Everything. The Latitide came with leather, chrome, power, and a sunroof. It's a tad bigger than the 2002. It is comfortable and rides like a Liberty, tad bouncy but on the road and easy to steer. It's electronics, motor, transmission and all is vastly improved. We had the 2002 for 10 years. This will be my last vehicle. It's awesome. I recommend it if you want a true SUV that can do it all.

Recommend for smaller people, not very much comfort for a man larger than 5"9. The jeep is perfect for me, my husband is not very comfortable when going any distance. It is fun to drive and is a very snappy little car. It looks great and we have had 0 repair bills. We purchased extended and forever warranty but never have needed to use it. Not much room, but fantastic interior design it is as cute and would be perfect for 4 wheeling or for your go to vehicle for short trips. A perfect car for a young female driver.

This has been the best vehicle i have owned! Sure it is not great on gas, but i didnt buy it for a commuter car. Obviously. It is roomy! who do my friends call when they need to move anything! ME!!!! with the seats down i have fit a small couch or a queen mattress inside no problem! It definitely fits sports equipment and groceries to feed an army. It is a four seater. Wish it had a fifth seat belt in the back. But hey nothing is perfect. Its 4x4 capability is dependable for a family going to the snow or camping. Which is all I really need. The only reason i give this Jeep a 4 star rating is ..... 1) for a jeep they didnt really make a lot of after market parts for it. I closely resembles a Cherokee body style and looks equally awesome all decked out! but parts are rare. 2) if you are unusually tall, this is not the vehicle for you. I am 5'1 and its comfortable! My BF on the other hand is 6'4 and he doesnt have enough leg room and hits his head on the ceiling if i go over a bump in the road!!!! Otherwise this car meets my needs. Its safe to drive. People have rear ended me and their car is totalled!!! but all i needed was a new bumper! It quite literally is a beast! with solid construction. I do recommend putting more beefy tires on it. It is a heavy vehicle. The stock market tires barely support the weight of the vehicle and have difficulty staying inflated. If your looking for a 4x4 vehicle that will last, will carry around your family of 4, and you are not above average in height, this is the vehicle for you!
