Jeep Liberty

[Jakey]

My parents are thinking about trading off something towards a new '04 Liberty, has anyone driven one? Have anything to say about them? I've never even been close to one so I really don't know anything about them.

One of my very good friends has one. She has had a few problems with the vehicle, but all issues were covered under warranty. I would say stay away from any Jeep product other than their Wranglers, but thats just me.

They ride pretty nice for having such a short wheelbase. Don't get the roof lights, they are VERY noisy on the freeway. I would have to say that the Saturn VUE is a better buy and alittle more useful.

The problem with brands such as Saturn is that back home there is not a Saturn dealer within an hour. So any warranty work or repairs needed to be done by the dealership would be a pain in the ass.

i think that jeep is shiot, shaun's mom has one for a beater and it sucks balls. its got like 22k miles and its all creaky and gay already

My family owns 2 brand new Saturn Vues and I must admit, for not liking those SUVs, I sure do like em. The ride is nice, its AWD, and plastic. I know most people dont care for Sauturn on this site, but for the dollar, they are great SUVs.

I thought i would get flamed:) Thanks for backen me up. That's just what i was going to say. I don't like SUVs but it was the smartest buy for my father. I do hear the dealership problem though.

So what is around your town then?

I can't imagine all the problems that would develop with their "unique" electric steering system and all belt driven transmissions. Not that they are now, but I would wonder how much repairs to those different types of systems would cause. Can you say trade in value?

Electric power steering has been around for many years. Land Rover has been using it in their Ranger for quite sometime now. As for the belt driven transmissions, commonly known at the CVT, I would also not be worried about reliability as the CVT is not a new concept. Here is a great website about CVTs: http://cvt.com.sapo.pt/ivt/ivt.htm

Anyways, back on topic. So besides telling me I should convince my parents to consider a Saturn, which is not going to happen, does anyone else have Jeep Liberty opinions?

Get a Grand Cherokee Limited like me! :) I've had it for 3 years now, and doesnt give me problems. Plus the new ones are supposed to be pretty bad ass.
