Fun to drive, practical, dependable car!

After so many years I still love to drive this car, it still has a personality, it is powerful and responsive and it has a great cargo space.

My favorite car I?ve owned

This car could get me anywhere I needed to go. It?s great in the snow which is perfect for the Michigan wheather. It?s the most comfortable vehicle plus it?s stylish.

I purchased my Limited liberty 3.7 V6 in 2003 new

I have owned this USV 15 years it has been used in extreme winter conditions and mountain terrain to my complete satisfaction without mechanical or other problems. The car is immaculate gleaming black and turns heads in this country where it is quite rare, Norway.

Most satisfying vehicle I've had

This vehicle has met all of my needs, has great space legroom in the back able to put the baby car seat and still have enough room. The ride it's very smooth we feel safe in it.

Junk heating system

Cute vehicle that you can't drive without a huge bankroll. Too expensive to drive with all the repairs I could have had a new car.

Reliable with only a few quirks after 13 years

We own a basic Sport model with a V6 and 4x4 and for the most part it has been a reliable vehicle. The only issue that we have had with it was the BCM failing a few years back, but since it's replacement it's been humming along ever since. Besides typical milage maintenance it's been a reliable vehicle. I'd also like to mention with its 4 hi or 4 low engaged it's great in the snow!

This is the best car I've ever owned.

Always wanted a Jeep. We bought this 2002 Liberty in 2014 as a used vehicle with 37K miles on it. It now has about 165K on it. I do all of the maintenance on it. I have had to replace the A/C condenser coil, and the brake rotors several times, but I found out that I was over-torquing the lug nuts. The gas mileage sucks but the reliability makes up for it I guess. Tranny is starting to hesitate at times and will prob need replaced, but I LOVE THIS CAR! We get plenty of snow here in northern Indiana and I HAVE NEVER GOTTEN STUCK with this 4WD. I would buy the same car again in a heartbeat!

Favorite Car I've ever owned

Having back issues, it's hard for me to find a comfortable vehicle. This was the perfect seat height for me. I didn't have to stretch to get in and I didn't have to bend either. Plenty of leg room up front and in the back seat. It always seemed like a heavy car to me and I always felt safe. Drove her over 200K only needed basic maintenance.
