I have the 2012 Liberty Sport. It's identical to the one in this video minus the sun roof. And I'm entirely happy with mine. Not to mention the fact that I'm 6'6" and 280 lbs and I have plenty of room and am very comfortable inside. The only thing I find "unimpressive and not that great" is this guy in the video.
I see this comment was made a long time ago but worth a shot for a response. I have been looking closely at a Jeep Liberty as I am looking for a car with under 105,000 miles with 4WD/AWD as my old mustang is on its last leg, plus since I am about to graduate college I want something that can handle the weather/terrain wherever I go. I have noticed that while the professional reviews are all mixed to negative, the user reviews are all decent to mildly positive. I have a few questions, the first being, do you think the ride will be more or less stiff than my 06 Mustang GT?
Uru Sledge... it’s hard to compare the Kk liberty to your Mustang “apples to apples” regarding suspension As they are two totally different vehicles for two totally different segments. That all being said if you’ve ever driven a jeep you will find the drive of the jeep liberty to be consistent with that of jeeps, a bit Spartan, a little less refined, a bit more noisy to the affluent or discerning client, and a bit tall/stiff. these comments are to say that the liberty is a very good and good driving vehicle. The previously mentioned qualities are endearing terms for a jeep considering what it is. Most people expect an SUV to be soft and doughie yet capable and snarling when in fact you have to find a happy medium between 4 x 4 capability and tame road driving. I find in my ownership of a liberty that I prefer the more rugged side of an sub’s drive and I absolutely adore what my liberty offers me. Having previously owned a 1999 Jeep grand Cherokee and now driving the liberty I appreciate the stoutness and compactness that comes in the liberty coupled with the unparallel poor weather or snowy driving condition capabilities that the liberty affords. Although the negative Nancy guy in the video has a point about the four-speed transmission being outdated, it’s relatively unnoticeable unless you are in stop and go or constantly merging traffic.
Just purchased my very first 2012 jeep liberty sport the other day and I must say that im in love with it!! Best vehicle I have ever owned!! So comfortable, very smooth ride. This guy doesn't know what he is talking about! Beautiful jeep!!
Reliability is not good. Spend 2K a year average just in repairs. Get a Toyota. I will say this much: never got stuck in the snow, or mud. And low flood water was no issue what so ever. Climbing any dirt hill wasn’t an issue either and I was had no fear of going anywhere because the car was capable of handling allot of environments. Just expect to pay allot to play owning the vehicle. Allot of repairs. Always something to fix.
I have no problems driving the 2012 Jeep Liberty. I'm 6'1, size 13 feet and can drive this comfortably and with ease. Had a 2006 Nissan and It was like a clown car for me trying to get in and out of it and very cramped lol. Anyways I love my Jeep.
This reviewer is going about the Liberty all wrong. Its a very utilitarian off-road vehicle that can serve multiple purposes to its owner. He is testing one of the highest trim levels (The Jet if I am not mistaken) and like most car companies, the highest trim level is greatly more expensive (and in this case, has 19" wheels). My 2011 Liberty Sport was $22k out the door with Zero options except for the Factory Tow Package. I bought it because winters in the Pacific Northwest can be quite bad, because Spokane has some good off road trails, because I wanted to be able to tow a boat (5,000 lbs capacity), and still have the headroom for my 6'5" dad to ride with me. The Liberty hit all of those points right on the head. Yes, the transmission is outdated, and a 5 or 6 speed would have been better. But the 4 speed works fine. Yes, the 3.7 is an older style motor, and the new 3.6 Pentastar is more economical. But the SOHC 3.7 gives you the torque low in the revs. Yes, it drives like a 4x4 on the streets. It's a freaking JEEP, if you want cushy handling, get a Pacifica or something. I bought this vehicle because it was $12k LESS than a 4 door Wrangler, and I have 2 young children. As for performance, I regularly get 22-24mpg on the highway when I am cruising at 60 mph on a level roadway. I easily pulled a 4,000lb double axle trailer for 400 miles with no issues. I have still not changed the stock Wrangler ST tires, as they work great in the snow. The biggest problem that I have had owning the vehicle is convincing people that it is a true off road vehicle. I have had to prove to numerous people that my Jeep is capable, simply because they have never driven one. The 4x4 system in this vehicle is fantastic. It is the same Command Trak system that a Wrangler has. It has both Hill Descent and Ascent controls, a great low range, and the ability to turn off the traction control. The independent front suspension really does not impede its capability, and the only thing that prevents me from following the modded Cherokees and Wranglers everywhere is ground clearance and the rubber. A friend of mine has a nicely modded 01 Cherokee (I love those rigs too BTW), and he couldn't believe that was able to keep up with him at an ORV park in a bone stock Liberty with stock tires. It wasn't until we hit a ridge spine that had too aggressive of an entry and break for my ground clearance that I had to deviate from his line. Bottom line, the KK Liberty is fantastic at what it was designed to do. Go everywhere, tow a lot and carry a lot of stuff with your family in a platform that is more capable and cheaper than the competition.
He mentioned off road stuff. If your not going off road consistently, dealing with snow, and whatnot, don’t buy it. There is a reason why they stopped making it
Just bought 2011 Liberty limited I love it it rides like a jeep handles terrific steering is great it's got a lot of pep and is very quiet, the remote start and heated seats are a nice touch , I'am med height and find no shortage of space. the look is ALL JEEP!
+Sam @ L E Lol, dude, you sound like you're in love with this car - I swear this is the third time I have seen that comment in the last 3 Liberty videos I've seen.
I owned a 2007 Liberty (the last year of the first generation) and now own a 2012, I am 6'3" and I think it's 50% or more better than my 2007. I got mine for $21k brand spankin new.... Oh and it has more head room than a 4 door wrangle, I hit my head on the roll bar. I LOVE MY 2012 LIBERTY!!!
This is one of the best vehicles that jeep/dodge ever built. The only thing lacking in this vehicle is a six speed transmission, everything else is great. It has one of the most responsive nav systems to date, the 4x4 side of it is first class. After driving both I would rather have this than the new Cherokee Trail Hawk. If you look around you can find used 2012 4x4 Jet's for around 22k with less than 20k miles on them. It just can't be beat!
In my opinion the 2nd gen Liberty has drop dead good looks - all jeep. Dated engine and transmission but gets the job done. Fuel economy is dismal but plenty of torque down low. Love it.
Terrible reviewer.. This is a JEEP man, spell it and say it again and let it sink in. J E E P, JEEP! It's not a Lexus crossover. Its meant for people who want an off road vehicle that's a good every day driver, not an every day driver that can be an ok off road vehicle, get the difference? Probably not...
I just upgraded from a 1986 Jeep Cherokee Xj 2.5 liter 4 cyl to a 2012 Jeep Liberty with Cherokee badges. Took it for a 200 mile test run and it worked flawless! Love it!!
I’m a bigger guy at 6’1 and around 290lbs and this Jeep is a good size for me. Width wise could be better but it’s okay for now. There’s a lot of features that I’m still discovering and I’ve had it for almost 5 years. This thing has an eco mode!
it's reliable as hell (not something that can be said about all jeeps), handles great, and gets gas mileage that isn't horrible for an off road vehicle, I don't exactly disagree about his point with the 4 speed transmission, but he's not very accurate in his overall assessment of this car. Oh and personally, I think the interior is fantastic.
I have a 2003 Jeep Liberty and looking to buy a newer one. I love them and the only downsize are the Door Panels rusting,because I live in the rust belt. And the higher Gas mileage. The makers of this Vehicle should have continue on making the Jeep Liberties.
I bought my jeep liberty artic 2012 for 26,000 ttl. I think it was a pretty good price. I drive it long distances with great comfort. it doesn't get good milealge. I drive it at 75 to 80 on the interstate and did a calculation and it did 19 miles to the gallon. It sticks to the road pretty well. I have not taken it off road yet but did drive in a snow storm from buffalo, ny to morris, nj and it was great. got me thru the snowy interstate feeling confident. I like it, no buyers regret
What shit are you talking about!. Jeep Liberty 2012 is one of the best truck had ever made! It's very confortable on the road, i have plenty of head room, a lot of gadgets like the 150w power supply, the front passenger seat, that could be used as a table to put your drinks, the rear seats that can be regulated in two positions and the canvas sky slider is simple the best! It also looks fantastic. It's what a Jeep lover is looking for.. The only drawback is the fuel consumption, i think it could be better. You can't compare it with a Nissan. YOU ARE CRAZY!
You're entirely right. This is car is very comfortable. It makes long highway trips feel shorter than they actually are with its unique driving characteristics.
South Africa | My Mom bought this Jeep in 2011. It was a great car, the only problems we had with it were high service & maintenance and fuel bills. In all honesty we should have gotten the diesel variant. Other than that we had an awesome experience travelling around the country in comfort. This is was a Jeep for those who felt they liked the Wrangler but didn't like it for everyday use. It will literally take you ANYWHERE! I'm currently shopping around to buy myself one too.
12 years later, my Jeep Liberty still runs great. Do I wish I had some modern convenience in my car? Sure. Maybe Bluetooth audio would be nice, but my Liberty has 142,000 miles on her and she still runs great.
I got one of those brand new. It had 4 miles one it. I do not regret my choice. I had it for 12 almost 13 years. I only gave it up because even though it was working, it was starting to die on me for the past year, and I could not afford the repairs anymore.
totally disagree with the guy on video , my Jeep Liberty 2012 is amazing . Soft ride , power when you needed it . Only issue may be the fuel economy is not the best but i don't care cause she gives me a lot of good things …….Jeep Liberty rules !!!
I'm in the car business (GM dealer) and I just purchased a 2012 Liberty because I was so impressed with the handling, the quiet ride, and the performance! This guy is obviously influenced by the asian car makers! Buy the Jeep you won't be sorry!
I just bought my second Liberty. It is not the most advanced car for a 2012, but it is my favorite car. I have owned lots over my life, from a DKW, to a 240zx to a passat to a mini-cooper conv, etc. My first experience with Jeep was a 2008. This one is about the same. Solid, steady, and capable of getting unstuck. Like it a lot.
I have a 2012 Jeep Liberty Jet limited . 4X4 . It has 96000 miles. I love how high the seating is and view . I love the loud engine growl lol . Feels like I’m in a wrangler , it does wonder a lil if it’s very windy out on the high way and if the engine gets overworked in high speeds. It’s a tank in the winter. I love it 😎
Jeep Libertys are really good vehicles. We bought an '07 Limited brand new and we are still loving it five years and nearly 85,000 miles down the road! Someone that's used to a larger and (status symbol) SUV like a Tahoe or Expedition isn't going to be as comfortable in the Liberty because it is smaller. My parents have had two Cherokees, an Expedition, and our current Liberty. And I have to say I'd definitely go with Jeep. Far more dependable and absolutely kicks all other 4x4s asses!!
the only thing i agree is crazy transmission space in front setas but when you seat, you find out it wont bother you at all, there is enough space to feel confortable.
The Nissan Pathfinder of this generation had the same if not worse interior space, same if not worse comfort level, same gas mileage and engine performance, same off road capability. And it costs more. Yet you guys didn't criticize that nearly as much as this. It seems like auto reviewers suck up to anything Japanese but when it's an American car company y'all have a field day. It's kinda sad that you can't even be proud of your own country's engineering.
I've got the 2012 one, Limited but with the 2.8L diesel and 5 speed auto, it's right hand drive, and I can confirm that most of what this reviewer says is true. I do find the vehicle to be relatively comfortable considering the solid axle at the back. It's much better on the open road and loves cruising, it's also surprisingly good off-road for what it is. Fuel consumption is not good in city driving and the transmission is just not made for start-stop traffic. Cruising is where it shines. I've also driven the petrol and manual variants and I prefer the torque of the diesel. It's relatively well refined for a diesel. There are definitely more reliable, well built and more comfortable cars out there, but as a 2nd hand buy, it was a good value proposition. I do love it though, it's got a lot of character and charm that other vehicles in this segment could never have.
I have to say I disagree with just about everything he said with the exception of the gas mileage. I've had mine for a few years now and am totally happy with it for its off road ability. I'm 6'2", 280 pounds, size 15 shoes. Totally comfortable driving my Jeep. And as for the sky slider sun roof the articles I've read that used it in wet climates said it leaked. I have the conventional electric sun roof on my Liberty Sport Latitude and it doesn't leak at all. Plus the Latitude has leather interior which is another nice feature. I've had it in sand with no problem and snow with no problem. It also has conventional four wheel drive so you have rear wheel traction in 2 wheel drive. Granted, it is not a freeway flier but when the pavement ends is when this vehicle shines and you would be hard pressed to find a better off road vehicle.
You spent four minutes explaining why it's not a poser. And you did it in such a way to try and make posers look preferable. You, my lost friend, are a poser. The Liberty is a real Utility Vehicle. It doesn't merely pretend to be one like so many others. If you're going to review something, review it for what it was designed to be. Not what it was designed not to be. Your misplaced/biased review sickens me.
I have subjected my 2011 jeep liberty to extreme conditions in Colombia and it has never failed me when I have seen Fj toyotas absolutely blocked in the mud. I have made trips of more than 1500 km and it is very comfortable and its consumption of gasoline on the road is better than that of many other vehicles. The only thing reprehensible here is the car expert who talks about what he doesn't know..
Yes, the 2012 Jeep Liberty is an awesome vehicle, and it's rugged looks are what I love best about it. As far as the rumors about them discontinuing the Liberty, it's not entirely true, they are discontinuing it for the 2013 model year, but in late Q4 of 2013, they will be releasing a 2014 Jeep Liberty based on the Dodge Dart's frame, and with a new 3.6L Pentestar engine and a 9-speed automatic transmission, yet it's form from the prototypes seen, it will look like the 2013 Nissan Pathfinder.
It's 2023 and I bought 2012 with 15k miles. It's a great car. I lifted it 2' and put a M&S tire on it. We mainly bought it to flat tow with our Motorhome however I find myself making grocery and runs to the gym. It amazing off road. It has plenty of power but the mileage is terrible.
Not sure about this review.I own a 2012 Jeep Liberty and couldn't love it more. The handling is fantastic and it really maintains a classic Jeep style. It has decent interior space and drives comfortably.
he seems like the kind of guy who likes those aweful suvs like the nissan quasqai or the vw tiguan... keep your girly suvs on road, because off road they'll all get stuck and broken while this "unimpressive" as you stated vehicle will keep on going... to review a car like that and not taking it off road is like reviewing a ferrari in a city center...
I just bought a 2012 Liberty to replace my 2006 model. If you want a car-like ride in an SUV, don't buy Jeep. If you want a serious 4WD that will get you safely home in any weather and go off-road and return in one piece, then get a Jeep and you won't ever regret it. If you can find a Liberty you can probably get it for a lot less than this guy says it costs.
sorry dude but this is just your opinion I have a KK and I love it and it's smooth and comfortable for me. I have lifted my jeep and put some 33s on it and it does great on trails. how much u get paid to shit on this jeep
I just bought a 2012 jeep liberty 4x4 with leather seats and has a sunroof and I love it. And even though I have only so far driven it around town it's a comfortable vehicle. It's a jeep what do you expect a ride like a luxury car.
Ron,are you sure that the transmission is causing that intrusion? Look at the shape. I bet its the exhaust system. Either way, yes this thing is outdated. But Surgio has announced the next liberty will be spectacular.
I would have to disagree. Having driven a 2008 with the same engine and transmission used in the video, it's lackluster. The ride is bumpy, the engine can be quiet, but overall loud because it's always in the wrong gear. Handling is what's expected on a body on frame truck. But what is nice is the MyGig system with Infinity sound, skyliner, heated seats and computer system, but that's about it.
Just found this and I am actually laughing hard watching it: we take the liberty into the dirt and especially deep sand. It might not have impressive gimmicks - but we never got stuck and are always wondering why the “fancy” other small 4x4 actually do in spots we are simply driving through without any issue. This car is primitive - but that is exactly what you need if you drive it off-road.
Well I have a 96 Grand Cherokee (ZJ) and it has 200k+ miles on it, not a single major problem EVER. 4WD works perfect, engine runs like a champ, transmission shifts smooth. It gets proper maintenance though. It's never left me stranded, every thing works too. The reliability of a jeep is know to be better than Land Rover's. Just make sure you buy a Jeep that has been properly maintained, if not, it'll just be another "Land Rover" if you know what i mean.
Ok, had mine for a little over 3-1/2 yrs. Bought new with latitude pkg. Same color as video. Everything the Reviewer said is spot-on esp that wedged in area where the tranny mounds - even with seat way back and being a thin woman, simply eating a burger/fries is a cramped unnerving experience I've never felt before as you can't stretch straight rather you're angled in. The rear seats are comfy--but the driver's is very hard and offers no lower back support for me and after only 30 mins of driving, I want out. I don't mind the old gear box and noise and love the 'Look' but unless you're heavy, this vehicle will torse you about like a puppet unless you're on very smooth payment. Also, some quirky features like the recycle cabin setting doesn't stay set. So every turn on you have to check it (stupid yellow light in sun) or when you're behind a utility truck, you'll know it popped out when car started. And everything is delayed: Your hot and want your a/c NOW not 8 seconds later and a simple push down door lock, hesitates. Not good if you're in an unsafe situation. But unlike the other uts I looked out at, none had the fabulously FLAT fold down seats, and LOTS of storage for a compact vehicle. Lastly, the steering is old rack/pinion so steering in tight areas, for me, a rather petite woman, is definitely a work-out. But the much smaller straighter windshield is terrific; Snow will slid down it and almost NO sun if you sit up close to wheel. So I really love the pros but absolutely hate the cons. Would I buy this vehicle again if I'd have a do over. NO WAY. Once I'm finished moving and settled it's good riddance. And that's why I only have 11,843 millage on it. It'll be great for someone else maybe, but no Not me.
I have to agree and disagree. I loved my Jeep Liberty, for the most part, as it held up very well. Loved the look of it and the ruggedness. My complaints, though: poor gas mileage and the sky slider roof when closed was very NOISY at 60+ mph on the highway. Difficult to talk over the noise on long road trips. Tried using an additional rubber seal to help block off wind noise, but it didn't help much. I will always be a Jeep fan, though, as we also have a Wrangler.
fuel economy sucks and I would appreciate a 5th gear for better fuel mileage. However, the 4wd with BLD closely mimicks lockers (while the front diff. on the x-terra is completely open) and the handling can be attributed to having a rear solid axle, meaning that this more mechanically simple design eliminates rear ball joints which tend to go in modern vehicles after 100,000 miles, making longer-term maintenance less of an issue. Vehicle deserves a little bit more positive review.
I have a 2012 Patriot. It is heavy and gets mediocre gas mileage. On the positive side I did get T-Boned by a young lady texting on her cell phone. Positive because my jeep was not totaled and I experienced no injuries. It's a tough little car. I live in Alaska and winters are 6 to 7 months long. There is lots of snow and Ice on the roads. Just using all season radials and the 4 wheel drive (and prudent driving techniques) I have no problems at all getting from point a to b. After the "accident" the young ladies insurance paid for my jeeps repair...so still cruising around anchorage at 60 k miles. The only thing that make me nervous right now is the transmission which seems to get stuck once a year or so....lol...perhaps a tragedy in my future.
You are wrong buddy guys dont listen to this guy i love this jeep its freaking amazing it looks cool feels cool and it just great who cares what this guy says
The Jeep Liberty is the perfect toad, (to pull behind a motorhome), unlike all the other "value" recommendations. It's actually in it's element in the rain, snow, sand, and mud, and not dry asphalt. That's where you want to use this vehicle. For the daily commute it's overkill and basic, but when used properly, it's far ahead!
He fails to mention it will pull 5600 lbs. Pulls my boat down the road safely, up and down the ramps with security and hauls my stuff. The reviewer is obviously a boulevard 4 wheeler - likes to look tough but never uses the capability. No doubt drives to the Sonic to be seen on Saturday night and then to the bar to drink and sing on "the road again."
Dude, seriously! probably have a land rover discovery or something. Stop comparing! His opinion doesn't matter because he does not have a passion for cars. If you have a passion then you see the car for what it was designed for. you look at the design elements and what the designers thought when they designed it. purpose and practicality. that nissan thing looks crap. ugly mags, horrible design cues. go sell parts or somethin dude and leave the cars to us that know. I saw your so-called review before I tested the jeep for myself. tested others vehicles and bought the cherokee. don't take it out on the car if you don't like your girlfriend! Peace out!
Dude, I don't know who paid you to talk so negative about this jeep. I got my jeep used a 15k with 75k miles. First thing I did, was i took offroading. It held up better than anything other vehicle minus other Jeeps. Its very comfortable and plenty of room down by the pedals and I'm a big guy. Id rate this vehicle at 4.5 out of 5. Yeah the horse power isn't the greatest but it holds it's own. But the Liberty (except the Renegade edition) isn't really meant to much off-roading, other than just dirt trails and anything below 4 on a scale to 10.
Need some help. I'm looking for a new used vehicle and am deciding between this, a certified 2012 Jeep Liberty sport 4x4 /w latitude package with just under 30k miles or a certified 2012 Nissan Frontier SV with just under 41k miles. Both are very similar in price and are attractive/fit my life style and state (Colorado). I currently drive an 08 Jeep Patriot with 72k miles and am looking to upgrade/lower my miles. Vehicle will be used in snow, light off-roading (trails to get to shooting ranges, mountain hot spots, and remote camping areas) as well as carrying my stuff for shooting/camping/hiking/tough mudders/skiing. Daily drive to work is 17 miles one way mostly highway. I did some calculations and am under 11000miles/year (averaging) and payment wouldn't be high so gas economy isn't a huge deal. Thanks for the help and drive safe!
selling my 2012 Jeep Liberty after 6 years and it has been a great vehicle. However, it does have short comings such as the limited driver leg room and slightly underpowered engine. Also, I had a RWD.
I have a 2003 Jeep Liberty Sport with a sunroof. I love the Jeeps and I am looking for an 2012 Jeep Liberty with a sunroof. Are they great to drive and how are the door panels,because I live in the rust belt blizzard Midwest. The rust salt has destroyed by door panels over the years😠
They're bout as reliable as any other jeep. I'm not sure what to actually look out for as for future issues. But if you find one with decent mileage you should be okay.
Ok heres my 2 cents I just bought a 2012 jeep liberty, old tech? Thats why i did buy it. Because it has proven its self already. I had a 97 grand Cherokee this thing has the same feel, i agree about the foot space but i keep my feet at the peddle when i drive not 2 feet away from them. What he didnt mention is the space around the peddles. Maybe he has short legs im 6 ft and dont feel cramped. I hope to get 300k miles out of this one as i did my grand Cherokee.
I cant stand how the Lib gets such a bad rap. He reviewed the wrong trim. The Liberty (KK) is not designed to be a luxury vehicle. It is meant to get you down the trail to your destination. You can an a 2" lift for about $200 and keep up with almost anybody. I have a 2" lift and good tire and I'd place my Liberty against any stock sahara or sport wrangler (JK). Its brake lock differential works great and if you feel you must have lockers they can also be added after market.
You take your Audi Lexus SUVs Il take my jeep liberty, and then laugh when you get the invoice when somthing breaks. I like simple, and inexpensive to fix.
I have the 2012 Liberty Sport. It's identical to the one in this video minus the sun roof. And I'm entirely happy with mine. Not to mention the fact that I'm 6'6" and 280 lbs and I have plenty of room and am very comfortable inside. The only thing I find "unimpressive and not that great" is this guy in the video.
Vulgarr the Viking do you still have it let me buy it
I see this comment was made a long time ago but worth a shot for a response. I have been looking closely at a Jeep Liberty as I am looking for a car with under 105,000 miles with 4WD/AWD as my old mustang is on its last leg, plus since I am about to graduate college I want something that can handle the weather/terrain wherever I go. I have noticed that while the professional reviews are all mixed to negative, the user reviews are all decent to mildly positive. I have a few questions, the first being, do you think the ride will be more or less stiff than my 06 Mustang GT?
Uru Sledge... it’s hard to compare the Kk liberty to your Mustang “apples to apples” regarding suspension As they are two totally different vehicles for two totally different segments. That all being said if you’ve ever driven a jeep you will find the drive of the jeep liberty to be consistent with that of jeeps, a bit Spartan, a little less refined, a bit more noisy to the affluent or discerning client, and a bit tall/stiff. these comments are to say that the liberty is a very good and good driving vehicle. The previously mentioned qualities are endearing terms for a jeep considering what it is. Most people expect an SUV to be soft and doughie yet capable and snarling when in fact you have to find a happy medium between 4 x 4 capability and tame road driving.

Although the negative Nancy guy in the video has a point about the four-speed transmission being outdated, it’s relatively unnoticeable unless you are in stop and go or constantly merging traffic.
Damn why didnt you get the roof?
People really love there Liberty’s even though they suck and aren’t sold anymore
Just purchased my very first 2012 jeep liberty sport the other day and I must say that im in love with it!! Best vehicle I have ever owned!! So comfortable, very smooth ride. This guy doesn't know what he is talking about! Beautiful jeep!!
Whatever dude.. I love the Jeep Liberty.
Jeep Liberty ROCKS!
Michelle Marshbanks lmao he knows nothing about Jeep Liberty's
I can’t believe he said the Liberty is NOISY that V6 is quiet as hell
2021 still own my 2012 Liberty and I love it . 🇺🇸
Reliability is good?how many years and miles since you owned?i want one 😅
Reliability is not good. Spend 2K a year average just in repairs. Get a Toyota.
I will say this much: never got stuck in the snow, or mud. And low flood water was no issue what so ever. Climbing any dirt hill wasn’t an issue either and I was had no fear of going anywhere because the car was capable of handling allot of environments. Just expect to pay allot to play owning the vehicle. Allot of repairs. Always something to fix.
I have no problems driving the 2012 Jeep Liberty. I'm 6'1, size 13 feet and can drive this comfortably and with ease. Had a 2006 Nissan and It was like a clown car for me trying to get in and out of it and very cramped lol. Anyways I love my Jeep.
my daddy has Liberty 2012 V6 3.7 Limited edition(leather seats, infinity audio, sunroof etc etc), very very nice car!
This guy is off the track. He just doesn't get It. I love my 2012 Liberty
Judy Young lol just saw this after I bought used this guy is so off!
Bro that's a great jeep. I thought you were supposed to be a "reviewer" of the Jeep not a "hater"
The 2012 jeep liberty jet is drop dead gorgeous with the chrome package, it's perfect for city life and seniors.
IMO it sounds like a nice everyday commuter car, something that appeals to me the most since I work a job that requires quite a bit of driving
This reviewer is going about the Liberty all wrong. Its a very utilitarian off-road vehicle that can serve multiple purposes to its owner.
He is testing one of the highest trim levels (The Jet if I am not mistaken) and like most car companies, the highest trim level is greatly more expensive (and in this case, has 19" wheels).
My 2011 Liberty Sport was $22k out the door with Zero options except for the Factory Tow Package. I bought it because winters in the Pacific Northwest can be quite bad, because Spokane has some good off road trails, because I wanted to be able to tow a boat (5,000 lbs capacity), and still have the headroom for my 6'5" dad to ride with me. The Liberty hit all of those points right on the head.
Yes, the transmission is outdated, and a 5 or 6 speed would have been better. But the 4 speed works fine.
Yes, the 3.7 is an older style motor, and the new 3.6 Pentastar is more economical. But the SOHC 3.7 gives you the torque low in the revs.
Yes, it drives like a 4x4 on the streets. It's a freaking JEEP, if you want cushy handling, get a Pacifica or something.
I bought this vehicle because it was $12k LESS than a 4 door Wrangler, and I have 2 young children.
As for performance, I regularly get 22-24mpg on the highway when I am cruising at 60 mph on a level roadway. I easily pulled a 4,000lb double axle trailer for 400 miles with no issues. I have still not changed the stock Wrangler ST tires, as they work great in the snow.
The biggest problem that I have had owning the vehicle is convincing people that it is a true off road vehicle. I have had to prove to numerous people that my Jeep is capable, simply because they have never driven one.
The 4x4 system in this vehicle is fantastic. It is the same Command Trak system that a Wrangler has. It has both Hill Descent and Ascent controls, a great low range, and the ability to turn off the traction control. The independent front suspension really does not impede its capability, and the only thing that prevents me from following the modded Cherokees and Wranglers everywhere is ground clearance and the rubber. A friend of mine has a nicely modded 01 Cherokee (I love those rigs too BTW), and he couldn't believe that was able to keep up with him at an ORV park in a bone stock Liberty with stock tires. It wasn't until we hit a ridge spine that had too aggressive of an entry and break for my ground clearance that I had to deviate from his line.
Bottom line, the KK Liberty is fantastic at what it was designed to do. Go everywhere, tow a lot and carry a lot of stuff with your family in a platform that is more capable and cheaper than the competition.
He mentioned off road stuff.
If your not going off road consistently, dealing with snow, and whatnot, don’t buy it.
There is a reason why they stopped making it
Just bought 2011 Liberty limited I love it it rides like a jeep handles terrific steering is great it's got a lot of pep and is very quiet, the remote start and heated seats are a nice touch , I'am med height and find no shortage of space. the look is ALL JEEP!
This is the most beautiful Jeep ever❗
+Sam @ L E Lol, dude, you sound like you're in love with this car - I swear this is the third time I have seen that comment in the last 3 Liberty videos I've seen.
Soylent Green,Charleston Heston it is a beautiful Jeep. I have an older one and these Jeeps are great to have if you live in a Snow Belt Town.
I owned a 2007 Liberty (the last year of the first generation) and now own a 2012, I am 6'3" and I think it's 50% or more better than my 2007. I got mine for $21k brand spankin new.... Oh and it has more head room than a 4 door wrangle, I hit my head on the roll bar. I LOVE MY 2012 LIBERTY!!!
How’s the ride difference?
This is one of the best vehicles that jeep/dodge ever built. The only thing lacking in this vehicle is a six speed transmission, everything else is great. It has one of the most responsive nav systems to date, the 4x4 side of it is first class. After driving both I would rather have this than the new Cherokee Trail Hawk. If you look around you can find used 2012 4x4 Jet's for around 22k with less than 20k miles on them. It just can't be beat!
I agree!
In my opinion the 2nd gen Liberty has drop dead good looks - all jeep. Dated engine and transmission but gets the job done. Fuel economy is dismal but plenty of torque down low. Love it.
Terrible reviewer.. This is a JEEP man, spell it and say it again and let it sink in. J E E P, JEEP! It's not a Lexus crossover. Its meant for people who want an off road vehicle that's a good every day driver, not an every day driver that can be an ok off road vehicle, get the difference? Probably not...
I just upgraded from a 1986 Jeep Cherokee Xj 2.5 liter 4 cyl to a 2012 Jeep Liberty with Cherokee badges. Took it for a 200 mile test run and it worked flawless! Love it!!
I’m a bigger guy at 6’1 and around 290lbs and this Jeep is a good size for me. Width wise could be better but it’s okay for now. There’s a lot of features that I’m still discovering and I’ve had it for almost 5 years. This thing has an eco mode!
I have a 2008 Jeep Liberty sport and I love it ! This guy doesn't know what a Jeep really is
it's reliable as hell (not something that can be said about all jeeps), handles great, and gets gas mileage that isn't horrible for an off road vehicle, I don't exactly disagree about his point with the 4 speed transmission, but he's not very accurate in his overall assessment of this car. Oh and personally, I think the interior is fantastic.
Reliable??? LMAO
I spent at least 2000 a year just in repairs. One year it was close to 4 grand
2008 Jeep Liberty limited. Terrible car
@@justSTUMBLEDupon How many miles?
I have a 2009 Jeep Liberty and I have never had any problems with it , a very reliable vehicle.
I have a 2003 Jeep Liberty and looking to buy a newer one. I love them and the only downsize are the Door Panels rusting,because I live in the rust belt. And the higher Gas mileage. The makers of this Vehicle should have continue on making the Jeep Liberties.
LMAO Reliable?
Thanks dude, after this video, I have now decided to go get mine tomorrow.
I bought my jeep liberty artic 2012 for 26,000 ttl. I think it was a pretty good price. I drive it long distances with great comfort. it doesn't get good milealge. I drive it at 75 to 80 on the interstate and did a calculation and it did 19 miles to the gallon. It sticks to the road pretty well. I have not taken it off road yet but did drive in a snow storm from buffalo, ny to morris, nj and it was great. got me thru the snowy interstate feeling confident. I like it, no buyers regret
What shit are you talking about!. Jeep Liberty 2012 is one of the best truck had ever made! It's very confortable on the road, i have plenty of head room, a lot of gadgets like the 150w power supply, the front passenger seat, that could be used as a table to put your drinks, the rear seats that can be regulated in two positions and the canvas sky slider is simple the best! It also looks fantastic. It's what a Jeep lover is looking for.. The only drawback is the fuel consumption, i think it could be better. You can't compare it with a Nissan. YOU ARE CRAZY!
You're entirely right. This is car is very comfortable. It makes long highway trips feel shorter than they actually are with its unique driving characteristics.
I just got mine yesterday and so far, I'm in love!
South Africa | My Mom bought this Jeep in 2011. It was a great car, the only problems we had with it were high service & maintenance and fuel bills. In all honesty we should have gotten the diesel variant. Other than that we had an awesome experience travelling around the country in comfort. This is was a Jeep for those who felt they liked the Wrangler but didn't like it for everyday use. It will literally take you ANYWHERE! I'm currently shopping around to buy myself one too.
12 years later, my Jeep Liberty still runs great. Do I wish I had some modern convenience in my car? Sure. Maybe Bluetooth audio would be nice, but my Liberty has 142,000 miles on her and she still runs great.
I got one of those brand new. It had 4 miles one it. I do not regret my choice. I had it for 12 almost 13 years. I only gave it up because even though it was working, it was starting to die on me for the past year, and I could not afford the repairs anymore.
totally disagree with the guy on video , my Jeep Liberty 2012 is amazing . Soft ride , power when you needed it . Only issue may be the fuel economy is not the best but i don't care cause she gives me a lot of good things …….Jeep Liberty rules !!!
You Don't buy a jeep for its fuel Economy, also just found a 2012 jet with only 30K miles for under $15 grand
I've had my 2012 liberty jet since 2012 and I've never had any problems with Mine it'd been it great car so one person's opinion doesn't matter
I'm in the car business (GM dealer) and I just purchased a 2012 Liberty because I was so impressed with the handling, the quiet ride, and the performance! This guy is obviously influenced by the asian car makers! Buy the Jeep you won't be sorry!
I own a 2011, I love it... sure it doesn't get the best gas mileage, but the roof makes up for it. It looks amazing everyone loves it.
I just bought my second Liberty. It is not the most advanced car for a 2012, but it is my favorite car. I have owned lots over my life, from a DKW, to a 240zx to a
passat to a mini-cooper conv, etc. My first experience with Jeep was a 2008. This one is about the same. Solid, steady, and capable of getting unstuck. Like it a lot.
I have a 2012 Jeep Liberty Jet limited . 4X4 . It has 96000 miles. I love how high the seating is and view . I love the loud engine growl lol . Feels like I’m in a wrangler , it does wonder a lil if it’s very windy out on the high way and if the engine gets overworked in high speeds. It’s a tank in the winter. I love it 😎
Jeep Libertys are really good vehicles. We bought an '07 Limited brand new and we are still loving it five years and nearly 85,000 miles down the road! Someone that's used to a larger and (status symbol) SUV like a Tahoe or Expedition isn't going to be as comfortable in the Liberty because it is smaller. My parents have had two Cherokees, an Expedition, and our current Liberty. And I have to say I'd definitely go with Jeep. Far more dependable and absolutely kicks all other 4x4s asses!!
How’s it doing now? LOL
I have this car and I love it! Most people don't like it, but I feel as though they have never actually driven it for a long period of time.
the only thing i agree is crazy transmission space in front setas but when you seat, you find out it wont bother you at all, there is enough space to feel confortable.
The Nissan Pathfinder of this generation had the same if not worse interior space, same if not worse comfort level, same gas mileage and engine performance, same off road capability. And it costs more.
Yet you guys didn't criticize that nearly as much as this. It seems like auto reviewers suck up to anything Japanese but when it's an American car company y'all have a field day.
It's kinda sad that you can't even be proud of your own country's engineering.
I've got the 2012 one, Limited but with the 2.8L diesel and 5 speed auto, it's right hand drive, and I can confirm that most of what this reviewer says is true. I do find the vehicle to be relatively comfortable considering the solid axle at the back. It's much better on the open road and loves cruising, it's also surprisingly good off-road for what it is. Fuel consumption is not good in city driving and the transmission is just not made for start-stop traffic. Cruising is where it shines. I've also driven the petrol and manual variants and I prefer the torque of the diesel. It's relatively well refined for a diesel. There are definitely more reliable, well built and more comfortable cars out there, but as a 2nd hand buy, it was a good value proposition. I do love it though, it's got a lot of character and charm that other vehicles in this segment could never have.
Forward pace to now and I just picked one up for $2000 so happy frickin days!
I love my 2012 Jeep Liberty Sport.
How much do you spend on Gas per 100 km?
I have to say I disagree with just about everything he said with the exception of the gas mileage. I've had mine for a few years now and am totally happy with it for its off road ability. I'm 6'2", 280 pounds, size 15 shoes. Totally comfortable driving my Jeep. And as for the sky slider sun roof the articles I've read that used it in wet climates said it leaked. I have the conventional electric sun roof on my Liberty Sport Latitude and it doesn't leak at all. Plus the Latitude has leather interior which is another nice feature. I've had it in sand with no problem and snow with no problem. It also has conventional four wheel drive so you have rear wheel traction in 2 wheel drive. Granted, it is not a freeway flier but when the pavement ends is when this vehicle shines and you would be hard pressed to find a better off road vehicle.
You spent four minutes explaining why it's not a poser. And you did it in such a way to try and make posers look preferable. You, my lost friend, are a poser.
The Liberty is a real Utility Vehicle. It doesn't merely pretend to be one like so many others. If you're going to review something, review it for what it was designed to be. Not what it was designed not to be. Your misplaced/biased review sickens me.
I have subjected my 2011 jeep liberty to extreme conditions in Colombia and it has never failed me when I have seen Fj toyotas absolutely blocked in the mud. I have made trips of more than 1500 km and it is very comfortable and its consumption of gasoline on the road is better than that of many other vehicles. The only thing reprehensible here is the car expert who talks about what he doesn't know..
Love the liberty great jeep goes were you want to
Yes, the 2012 Jeep Liberty is an awesome vehicle, and it's rugged looks are what I love best about it. As far as the rumors about them discontinuing the Liberty, it's not entirely true, they are discontinuing it for the 2013 model year, but in late Q4 of 2013, they will be releasing a 2014 Jeep Liberty based on the Dodge Dart's frame, and with a new 3.6L Pentestar engine and a 9-speed automatic transmission, yet it's form from the prototypes seen, it will look like the 2013 Nissan Pathfinder.
sounds like an honest review. I will check out more of your reviews.
It's 2023 and I bought 2012 with 15k miles. It's a great car. I lifted it 2' and put a M&S tire on it. We mainly bought it to flat tow with our Motorhome however I find myself making grocery and runs to the gym. It amazing off road. It has plenty of power but the mileage is terrible.
Not sure about this review.I own a 2012 Jeep Liberty and couldn't love it more. The handling is fantastic and it really maintains a classic Jeep style. It has decent interior space and drives comfortably.
he seems like the kind of guy who likes those aweful suvs like the nissan quasqai or the vw tiguan... keep your girly suvs on road, because off road they'll all get stuck and broken while this "unimpressive" as you stated vehicle will keep on going... to review a car like that and not taking it off road is like reviewing a ferrari in a city center...
Was my birthday present which was today i like it turned 16 today im happy that i got a jeep for my birthday present
He almost likes every car he reviews (and he has done a lot) so it's kind of funny to finally see a car he really doesn't like at all.
I just bought a 2012 Liberty to replace my 2006 model. If you want a car-like ride in an SUV, don't buy Jeep. If you want a serious 4WD that will get you safely home in any weather and go off-road and return in one piece, then get a Jeep and you won't ever regret it. If you can find a Liberty you can probably get it for a lot less than this guy says it costs.
I really like my Jeep Liberty. I have the Latitude.
2012 Jeep Liberty is amazing.....
I’m gonna get one don’t want any other those other trucks. Need a second car.
I have one and disagree with all your thoughts. But then again, to each is own
Great review on the 2012 Jeep Liberty...
I love my Jeep Liberty
💙💙💙💙💙
got one as a rental...and I hate to say it but i like it, ill be happy with my 2012 wrangler back though haha
sorry dude but this is just your opinion I have a KK and I love it and it's smooth and comfortable for me. I have lifted my jeep and put some 33s on it and it does great on trails. how much u get paid to shit on this jeep
steven gonzalez prob works for fiat lol
The comments got more positive reviews than the video.. 🤣🤣😆💯
I just bought a 2012 jeep liberty 4x4 with leather seats and has a sunroof and I love it. And even though I have only so far driven it around town it's a comfortable vehicle. It's a jeep what do you expect a ride like a luxury car.
Ron,are you sure that the transmission is causing that intrusion? Look at the shape. I bet its the exhaust system. Either way, yes this thing is outdated. But Surgio has announced the next liberty will be spectacular.
I would have to disagree. Having driven a 2008 with the same engine and transmission used in the video, it's lackluster. The ride is bumpy, the engine can be quiet, but overall loud because it's always in the wrong gear. Handling is what's expected on a body on frame truck. But what is nice is the MyGig system with Infinity sound, skyliner, heated seats and computer system, but that's about it.
Just found this and I am actually laughing hard watching it: we take the liberty into the dirt and especially deep sand. It might not have impressive gimmicks - but we never got stuck and are always wondering why the “fancy” other small 4x4 actually do in spots we are simply driving through without any issue. This car is primitive - but that is exactly what you need if you drive it off-road.
Well I have a 96 Grand Cherokee (ZJ) and it has 200k+ miles on it, not a single major problem EVER. 4WD works perfect, engine runs like a champ, transmission shifts smooth. It gets proper maintenance though. It's never left me stranded, every thing works too.
The reliability of a jeep is know to be better than Land Rover's. Just make sure you buy a Jeep that has been properly maintained, if not, it'll just be another "Land Rover" if you know what i mean.
this is the best car i purchased 2012 liberty
bring back the liberty
Ok, had mine for a little over 3-1/2 yrs. Bought new with latitude pkg. Same color as video. Everything the Reviewer said is spot-on esp that wedged in area where the tranny mounds - even with seat way back and being a thin woman, simply eating a burger/fries is a cramped unnerving experience I've never felt before as you can't stretch straight rather you're angled in. The rear seats are comfy--but the driver's is very hard and offers no lower back support for me and after only 30 mins of driving, I want out. I don't mind the old gear box and noise and love the 'Look' but unless you're heavy, this vehicle will torse you about like a puppet unless you're on very smooth payment. Also, some quirky features like the recycle cabin setting doesn't stay set. So every turn on you have to check it (stupid yellow light in sun) or when you're behind a utility truck, you'll know it popped out when car started. And everything is delayed: Your hot and want your a/c NOW not 8 seconds later and a simple push down door lock, hesitates. Not good if you're in an unsafe situation. But unlike the other uts I looked out at, none had the fabulously FLAT fold down seats, and LOTS of storage for a compact vehicle. Lastly, the steering is old rack/pinion so steering in tight areas, for me, a rather petite woman, is definitely a work-out. But the much smaller straighter windshield is terrific; Snow will slid down it and almost NO sun if you sit up close to wheel. So I really love the pros but absolutely hate the cons. Would I buy this vehicle again if I'd have a do over. NO WAY. Once I'm finished moving and settled it's good riddance. And that's why I only have 11,843 millage on it. It'll be great for someone else maybe, but no Not me.
Quiet down cha chi. Nothing about this guy is impressive. I should know I’m a senior reviewer
Great honest review
I have to agree and disagree. I loved my Jeep Liberty, for the most part, as it held up very well. Loved the look of it and the ruggedness. My complaints, though: poor gas mileage and the sky slider roof when closed was very NOISY at 60+ mph on the highway. Difficult to talk over the noise on long road trips. Tried using an additional rubber seal to help block off wind noise, but it didn't help much. I will always be a Jeep fan, though, as we also have a Wrangler.
It’s a good looking SUV 👍
fuel economy sucks and I would appreciate a 5th gear for better fuel mileage. However, the 4wd with BLD closely mimicks lockers (while the front diff. on the x-terra is completely open) and the handling can be attributed to having a rear solid axle, meaning that this more mechanically simple design eliminates rear ball joints which tend to go in modern vehicles after 100,000 miles, making longer-term maintenance less of an issue. Vehicle deserves a little bit more positive review.
Good honest review, thanks.
WELL tell us how you really feel. Anyway I love them especially driving around in my Snow Belt Blizzard Town.
I have a 2012 Patriot. It is heavy and gets mediocre gas mileage. On the positive side I did get T-Boned by a young lady texting on her cell phone. Positive because my jeep was not totaled and I experienced no injuries. It's a tough little car. I live in Alaska and winters are 6 to 7 months long. There is lots of snow and Ice on the roads. Just using all season radials and the 4 wheel drive (and prudent driving techniques) I have no problems at all getting from point a to b. After the "accident" the young ladies insurance paid for my jeeps repair...so still cruising around anchorage at 60 k miles. The only thing that make me nervous right now is the transmission which seems to get stuck once a year or so....lol...perhaps a tragedy in my future.
Ironically, the only thing the guy likes is the sky slider, which is the worst part of it.
You are wrong buddy guys dont listen to this guy i love this jeep its freaking amazing it looks cool feels cool and it just great who cares what this guy says
The Jeep Liberty is the perfect toad, (to pull behind a motorhome), unlike all the other "value" recommendations. It's actually in it's element in the rain, snow, sand, and mud, and not dry asphalt. That's where you want to use this vehicle. For the daily commute it's overkill and basic, but when used properly, it's far ahead!
+Beach er Im looking to "Upgrade" from the biggest Gas tanker of all, a Ram 2500 5.7 hemi - 8mpg - And im torn between the Commander or the Liberty...
He fails to mention it will pull 5600 lbs. Pulls my boat down the road safely, up and down the ramps with security and hauls my stuff. The reviewer is obviously a boulevard 4 wheeler - likes to look tough but never uses the capability. No doubt drives to the Sonic to be seen on Saturday night and then to the bar to drink and sing on "the road again."
Quit bashing on the Liberty jeep I have a 2010 with some mods And it’s awesome!
Dude, seriously! probably have a land rover discovery or something. Stop comparing! His opinion doesn't matter because he does not have a passion for cars. If you have a passion then you see the car for what it was designed for. you look at the design elements and what the designers thought when they designed it. purpose and practicality. that nissan thing looks crap. ugly mags, horrible design cues. go sell parts or somethin dude and leave the cars to us that know. I saw your so-called review before I tested the jeep for myself. tested others vehicles and bought the cherokee. don't take it out on the car if you don't like your girlfriend! Peace out!
Dude, I don't know who paid you to talk so negative about this jeep. I got my jeep used a 15k with 75k miles. First thing I did, was i took offroading. It held up better than anything other vehicle minus other Jeeps. Its very comfortable and plenty of room down by the pedals and I'm a big guy. Id rate this vehicle at 4.5 out of 5. Yeah the horse power isn't the greatest but it holds it's own. But the Liberty (except the Renegade edition) isn't really meant to much off-roading, other than just dirt trails and anything below 4 on a scale to 10.
Thanks man. Looking to get a Wrangler or Commander or maybe a Cherokee with the original look of course.
0:47 That's exactly what my grandmother drives!
Need some help. I'm looking for a new used vehicle and am deciding between this, a certified 2012 Jeep Liberty sport 4x4 /w latitude package with just under 30k miles or a certified 2012 Nissan Frontier SV with just under 41k miles. Both are very similar in price and are attractive/fit my life style and state (Colorado). I currently drive an 08 Jeep Patriot with 72k miles and am looking to upgrade/lower my miles. Vehicle will be used in snow, light off-roading (trails to get to shooting ranges, mountain hot spots, and remote camping areas) as well as carrying my stuff for shooting/camping/hiking/tough mudders/skiing. Daily drive to work is 17 miles one way mostly highway. I did some calculations and am under 11000miles/year (averaging) and payment wouldn't be high so gas economy isn't a huge deal. Thanks for the help and drive safe!
Dynasty 22 this is 8 mos later what did you get? I paid 17k for mint 2011 limited loaded w 50k on it it drives like new!
strokeofirish1 2009 Nissan Maxima SV
He is one hot hunk of a man
Very good review, ur da best for pointing the bad stuff in da car, good job
selling my 2012 Jeep Liberty after 6 years and it has been a great vehicle. However, it does have short comings such as the limited driver leg room and slightly underpowered engine. Also, I had a RWD.
I have a 2003 Jeep Liberty Sport with a sunroof. I love the Jeeps and I am looking for an 2012 Jeep Liberty with a sunroof. Are they great to drive and how are the door panels,because I live in the rust belt blizzard Midwest. The rust salt has destroyed by door panels over the years😠
I keep hearing about the foot room. Is it that bad?
And how reliable are jeep? May be a dumb question, but after serious repairs to my landy I wont risk buying a cool offroader with bad reliability
They're bout as reliable as any other jeep. I'm not sure what to actually look out for as for future issues. But if you find one with decent mileage you should be okay.
Ok , how about a used one for 14,000$ ?
i got a 2012 in 2013, 13,000 miles 19,000$ after taxes n shit. not a bad vehicle at all.
Ok heres my 2 cents I just bought a 2012 jeep liberty, old tech? Thats why i did buy it. Because it has proven its self already. I had a 97 grand Cherokee this thing has the same feel, i agree about the foot space but i keep my feet at the peddle when i drive not 2 feet away from them. What he didnt mention is the space around the peddles. Maybe he has short legs im 6 ft and dont feel cramped. I hope to get 300k miles out of this one as i did my grand Cherokee.
I cant stand how the Lib gets such a bad rap. He reviewed the wrong trim. The Liberty (KK) is not designed to be a luxury vehicle. It is meant to get you down the trail to your destination. You can an a 2" lift for about $200 and keep up with almost anybody. I have a 2" lift and good tire and I'd place my Liberty against any stock sahara or sport wrangler (JK). Its brake lock differential works great and if you feel you must have lockers they can also be added after market.
Outdated technology? Why fix what isn't broken?
You take your Audi Lexus SUVs Il take my jeep liberty, and then laugh when you get the invoice when somthing breaks. I like simple, and inexpensive to fix.
Thanks for the good review. I will not rent one!
