Love my Jeep!

My first Jeep purchase and I love it. My family owns 8 in total. The liberty/Jet that I own is luxurious inside and out and I can take it on the beach!

Looks good, runs well, wish the MPG was better

No issues so far, except for the passenger visor holder lock/clip broke. 4x4 works well in the snow. Should auto turn off the traction control when turning on the 4x4. Vehicle tends to pull to one side in the snow when T/C and 4x4 on. MPG highway 11.9 L/100 is ok, but 20 L/100 city is a little too much. Could be a case of heavy foot. Would I recommend this vehicle to a friend: Maybe.

Jeep for me

Like the get up and go and the outside appearance. Nice and roomy inside with lots of extra features....touch screen radio, navigation system, u connect phone. Not the best gas mileage but jeeps are known for that. Has slider roof which I haven't tried out yet due to weather....makes the inside a tad noisy but is tolerable. Last year for the Jeep liberty to be made......hoping it lasts me a looong time.

Great Aesthetics, Poor Execution

I really wanted to love this Jeep, that's why I purchased. It had all the bells and whistles, but that's sadly where the appeal ends. The inside of the vehicle has limited space, both for storage (mostly in the front passenger area) and for passengers riding, as the seats are pretty narrow. The moon roof (special to the Jet version and was only made in Jeep's last year of the Liberty) is awesome when open and gives the Jeep a convertible feel; when closed the inside of the Jeep is like being in a wind tunnel. While this feature was a selling point, the employee at the dealership only had me drive on roads under 35-45 MPH, concealing the sound, as it gets really loud over 60 MPH. Being a 2012, I was happy to have a navigation system as well as a nice sound system, but in reality I traded comfort of cloth seats for these upgrades that only come along with leather. Overall, the Jeep Liberty Jet is eye catching on the exterior as well as the interior, but lacks all of the comforts I was seeking from a SUV.

Good solid car

Good car. Beefier than the Patriot/Compass/Cherokee, and way less expensive than the Grand Cherokee. Good cargo room for its class, plenty of power, 4WD is best in class. A little bare inside, but I dont buy Jeeps for the luxury.

A Beautiful Final Edition

Great styling, a full list of options, beautiful color, and incredibly reliable; after all, it's a Jeep. The 20" wheels, 4x4 transmission, running boards, tow package, splash guards and front grill guard suggests ruggedness. And yet the soft leather interior and special accents, set off by the fully functional moon roof offer the comfort and beauty of a high priced sedan.

Best car I've owned

Great vehicle, runs superbly and does all normal jeep stuff fantastically. It is styled very nicely with the longer more squared off body compared to older shorter rounded libertys and the interior is super nice!

Great Value

For the money the Jeep is a great value. There is enough room when you put seats down. The Jeep rides very smooth..........

Jeep Libeety 2011

I prefer the basic design of the car ---It is a very sharp looking car. It appears they stopped making it ---which is too bad because I think there is a arket Great inner space. Handles well, accelerates quickly. Great exterior colors.

great car to drive

Bought this car about 5 years ago, have had no regrets since. Absolutely reliable and always a good drive. Have had no complaints and would always recommend Jeep. Will be buying jeeps forever.
