"We purchased a new 2012 Liberty Latitude and it is the best vehicle we have owned. It does everything we need it to do. The V6 engine is "old style" but very strong and made much the same as the 4.7 V8. The gas mileage is not the best, but this is a heavy SUV and built strong. We had snow and it handles it very well. We are very pleased with our purchase. Our dog loves the back area when the seats are folded. I am sorry they will no longer be made, but that should improve the resale value."

"I purchased a new 2012 Jeep Liberty Jet Edition in white with every option avaliable and I absolutly LOVE it! In my work as an RN I am on-call for work and have to be able to get there no matter what the weather. The Liberty goes through anything!! The interior is comfortable and I love the upright feeling and clear unobstructed view out all of the windows. Great Infinity sound system and looks. If there is a downside it's the gas mileage which is not great, but it's a truck based SVU so it is what it is....I average about 19. Got a Great deal...am very happy with my purchase. Jeep is making a BIG MISTAKE by discontinuing the Liberty. I read all the reviews out there which "hate" this car, but I think it's one of the best vehicles I have ever owned....Way to go JEEP!!"

"I looked at all the SUV's under 30K in her class and I settled on a beautiful 2012 Jet Edition. I never thought I'd ever own an america car. In fact; I spent a considerable amount of time looking for an excuse not to buy this truck and found none. With the exception of the Xterra, which felt and looked cheap, this was the only other truck in the class that I felt comfortable taking off-road or towing a boat. Admittedly, the mileage is not great (avg 23mpg combined) and the ride is more truck than car- not as bad as the pro reviews suggest -but its a SUV, not a Crossover- aka station wagon with a lift kit. If your looking for a true 4x4 SUV that's well built and will claw its way over anything the under carriage can clear then you need a Liberty"

"I am just coming off a 3 year BMW X3 lease and couldn't be happier; that BMW was SO not worth the big bucks. The Jeep Liberty is awesome: it has a smoother ride than the BMW ever had; the transmission and handling are far superior, as well, and the Liberty Jet Limited looks good & is well appointed. Overall: I would say I am done with those foreign, high priced, rather OVER priced, vehicles."

"Got my Liberty Sport in February, first Jeep I ever owned! Only two things that bother me are: the color is Black Forest Green and depending on the weather it can look black instead of green and that has gotten me into arguments LOL :) Would like it to just stay green. The other is that since it is boxy shaped (which I wanted) the interior is also that way and it affects the front area and front floor space. Overall, very happy with it though :)))"

"Ok so I am stupid . I went to a jeep dealer and without doing any reserch I bought the jeep liberty " latitude " edition. The #$ 4,000 incentive got me. I fell in love with the truck I owned a 2005 and it treated me well for 7 years. After i bought it I came home and read the proffesional reveiws, wow they are not kind to the liberty. To be honest this vehicle is what it is a jeep nice looking enough power for me and a great value for the money. No it s not a toyota or a nissan , it's a jeep and thats ok with me."

"I'm very happy with our new 2012 Jeep Liberty. She rides nice, good performance, and comfortable interior. The candy apple red paint is flawless and goes well with the chrome accents on body and wheels. The moon roof is also a nice feature. Plenty of cup holders and location of controls is good. All in all a good buy in a true 4x4."

"Perfect fit for all of our hobbies. Although our Jeep spends most of it's life on paved roads we enjoy not hesitating to drive it where no crossover would dare. Whether launching our boat from the secluded sand sloped boat launch or the boring comute to work, this will NOT be our last Jeep purchase. Altough some would complain about the highway ride and cabin noise, our Liberty more than makes up for it where it counts. Looking forward to conquering the Iowa early moring winter roads this winter! Way to build a great small SUV, Jeep. Thanks!"

"I absolutely love me jeep liberty. I got the latitude package which came with leather, chrome wheels, chrome accents, heated seats, and a sunroof! The expert reviews are wrong, the car is great! it has lots of power and there are basically no blind spots. I definitely recommend this to anyone out there."
