Pros

Power, comfort, flexibility

Cons

gas mileage, handling

35

Overall An Excellent Vehicle. I Love It! — I really love the power i feel out of this little SUV. I can give it gas and it picks right up. I am also very happy with the 4WD capabilities. Overall, cost of ownership is low because maintenance is low. Gearboxes only need changed every 15k-30k, radiator every 100k, and tranny every 50k-60k. Gas mileage is about the same as my Ranger. about 20mpg. The handling can get a little rough around corners, keep the tires at 33psi and that should help.

Pros

Because its the only thing i have to drive

Cons

the ride is really rough and there is not alot of room in it

55

If You Like A Reallly Rough Ride Buy A Liberty — it accelerates really well with the 3.7L v6. personally i dont think this machine was made to be driven on bumpy main roads like where i live at becuase the thing rides like a tank! sometimes if youhit a bump fast enough it will hurt! gas mileage is just as good as my 1997 gmc seirra which has a v8 in it. this thing is really fun for off roading and awesome in the snow! overall though i really dont like it!

It's A Jeep!! — i love it. Handles great. The only reason I had to repair it was because of a wreck. Even though its a 2002, it looks almost new. Not the best gas mileage, but its not bad. And it's hella fun to drive!!!

Great For Everyday And Travel And Towing — My car softly growls with power. Great get up and go. Get to and over the speed limit before you know it. 18/20 MPG and with Diesel fuel. Diesel is cheaper nowadays than Gas. Nice. Fun to drive over ruff roads. High clearance.

Pros

solid ride. cant complain about a thing

Cons

not too much.

25

Hopes — would like a solid front axle for a better lift. the part time 4wd isn't the best for in town in the winter,if you drive it too much in 4wd without enough slip on the road, it'll destroy your transfercase. four wheel low will get you through most the stuff.  maybe a more powerful engine. or a lower gear range. but other than that its a blast to drive and work on.

the windows and the poor dash design

Not Sooo Bad, But Not The Best. — the back windows suck both of them just stopped working!! It sucks and it will cost me 250 to fix it myself. Its a nice car, I just wish that chrysler would have worked on the dash a little more.

Common Sense — It has been great driving this car, it gets me moving. It is definite a car for Jeep lovers who like adventure. Great fun to drive offroad courses. Practically new when I got from my sister who never took it out of the city.
