Before owning this car I've always made fun of the way it

Before owning this car I've always made fun of the way it looks until realizing it may not be your ideal Jeep, but it does help with aerodynamics of the car. For a SUV with a V6 engine I expected the gas intake to cost more than it really does but to my surprise the gas cost is no issue for me and I drive it almost every day. As the car is well built it is meant to be a car that is supposed to be taken care of like a car. There's some issues that will occur with the 04 Jeep Liberty but those fixes don't burn holes in your pockets. After 20 years this car is still capable of trail riding and everyday usage with comfort and confidence. The interior can be turned into a quiet a spacious area for the size it appears to be form the exterior. I heavily recommend this as a first car as it was my first. Not to mention it is a pretty hard shell to crack when it comes to wrecks or bumps. To think owning this car Brand New while it runs perfectly fine for its two decades of life. To anyone reading this that is thinking of buying this from a Dealer/FBMP/Family or Friend, I'm sure you won't regret it.

Bought used.

Bought used. It has 194k miles on it. Looks good! Sitting in the driveway. It drives down the road, but if u give it gas it sputters and doesnt speed up. Misfire on cyl. 6. Spent too much bying it, too much trying to fix an unfixable problem. Read other forums of owners with same problem never seeming to be able to fix it for good. Worst car ive ever owned! Had it for a year and ive only put 600 miles on it. DO NOT BUY THIS CAR!

Good little car

Bought this car at 1 year old and sold it in 2019. Fixed very little on it and nothing very expensive. Very reliable. I did not like that it could not be driven on the highway in the snow as it could only be used in 4x4 at low speeds. When not in 4x4, it was not a good snow car. Fine around town. Great on the beach. Everything worked fine when I sold it at 15 years old. Bought a Subaru for the AWD.

Great, love it wouldn't trade it for nothing. Bought it for a second vehicle but ended up making it all mine. Let the wife have the new truck. Has 74,000; actual miles. Looks and drives out like new.

It's a wonderful vehicle

The only thing I found wrong is that strip underneath the door rust out and if you put aggressive tires on it you a lot more body noise cuz if not insulated very well

Most reliable engine in a car I’ve ever had

Never ever has had any engine issues and has high miles on it. It’s never overheated, when I wrecked it held strong and was cheap and easy to fix front end no problems. Very strong built car....
