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?
