A Great All-Around Family Jeep |

Summary: My wife and I bought a new Jeep (KJ) Liberty in 2004 and have been very pleased with it. We originally bought the Liberty for wanting a small to midsize SUV. For under $30,000 we bought a fully loaded Limited model that included leather seats, ABS and Selec-Trac. With the optional Selec-Trac four-wheel drive (a must have!), it has an awesome four-wheel drive. Along with part-time and four-low, Selec-Trac includes a full-time setting that can be used with mixed road conditions from dry, wet, ice to snow and sticks to the road like glue! Selec-Trac has been great to have as we've made several winter 3,000 mile road trips, including once pulling a U-haul trailer over the Rockies. The only downfall is that the Liberty's MPG is a little on the low side for city driving, however it is a heavy and solid vehicle. We average 16 to 17 mpg in the city, and I've witnessed up to 23 mpg on the highway when keeping the speed to no more then 65 mph (21 mpg when going faster). We absolutely have no regrets buying it. In fact I was always thinking that we'd upgrade to a Grand Cherokee after five years, however we are not getting rid of it anytime soon. It's in too good of condition! The Liberty really makes for a great all-around family Jeep. Strengths: Selec-Trac, it's four-wheel drive is awesome, four doors, has more room inside then it looks, sits up high, nice ride, comfortable and great looking interior, good amount of rear seat room, reliable and well built, tows, and was a top rated small to mid-size SUV in it's class. Weaknesses: City MPG, tows fine but not heavy trailers. |

Summary: The Jeep Liberty KJ (Kia Jeep) with the 3.7L engine has been problematic. Engine needed replacement under warranty and the thing also had front differential trouble and it wasn't even 2 years old and is driven by old people who NEVER off-road the vehicle. It now WORKS for the folks that own it... Strengths: Better gas mileage than the Ford Excursion V10 that was traded in for this Jeep. Was recommended to my parents as I drive a real Jeep: Wrangler TJ. The Liberty still has that new car smell... Again, it WORKS for them. Weaknesses: Looks like a Kia on steriods and the newer KK isn't better as that's a Dodge Nitro in disguise. The Germans got their ass handed to them in WW2 at a great price and the only revenge they can exact to America is to discontinue a sturdy winner (XJ) and replace it with an ugly wannabe loser that's fragile (KJ & KK). |

Summary: The '08 redesigned Jeep Liberty (KK) is a great addition to the Jeep family. It is powerful, fun, and nicer looking than the previous style (KJ) in my opinion. Love the Jeep Green Metallic color! Strengths: Powerful, trail rated, and fun to drive. Weaknesses: Gas mileage - but, hey, it's a Jeep! |
