2003 Jeep Liberty Renegade 4WD Review
ProsDurable, sporty, unique ConsMileage 
55
Great All Purpose Vehicle — Nice and sporty; lack of cargo area made up by the roof rack, though SUVs are notorious tippers so drive it like it is a truck no matter how sporty it looks. Rear seats fold down and increase cargo area if not carrying passengers. I crashed mine a week after I bought it (bought it a year used) - two concerns - I didn't have presence of mind to add weight to the rear for control on ice; get sandbags! My airbag also didn't deploy when the passenger front went nearly head-on into a Jersey barrier. Perhaps I wasn't going fast enough - I suffered no injuries but I did feel the seatbelt bite in. The mileage is bad, but no one in their right mind buys an SUV to save on gas, so just have fun with it. I get just under 400 kilometres on a 60-litre tank in the city. Just took it on a 300 kilometre highway cruise and did significantly better - just over half a tank used up.

I Would Buy A New One. Or Any Other Jeep Product For That Matter. — Oh my how I love my Jeep. It can go pretty fast when I want it to. It can drive through anything (I can't wait to try it in some real snow!!), and it looks good doing so. I highly recommend the Liberty to anyone, but be prepared to put a lot of gas in it!

A Good Small Suv With Loads Of Performance And Nice Amenties! — We love our Liberty, we got it after a 1 year lease in 2004 with 400 miles on it. Its been pretty much perfect, our only complaint is the noisy roof rack in the wind, and the low cargo space behind the 2nd row of seating. Performance - once we have it paid off we will be buying a Borla exhaust and a CAI. Other than regular maintenance of oil changes, this car has only had to have a new set of tires. No squeaks no rattles, no repairs thus far with 75K+ miles! | ||

2003 Jeep Liberty Sport 4WD Review
ProsOff-road capability, Engine torque, interior roominess, build quality, Independent Front Suspension ConsGas Mileage (not super-bad, but not that great either), interior appointments are cheap, and the engine has "turbo lag" effect when accelerating out of a turn from a stop.

Loves His Jeep. — I bought this straight off the lot in 2003. The vehichle is awesome. The build quality is storng, and it is very reliable. The 3.7 L V6 provides plenty of torque for highway or off road use, and the stock command-trac 4wd is good in the snow as well as various types of sand and mud. The seats are comfortable, and there's plenty of leg and head room for a tall guy like me. Handling is good - not great, but then this is an SUV with Goodyear Wrangler SR-As. Which brings me to the vehicle's one glaring weakness - the stock SR-As. The make the car want to understeer, but, more importantly, they make the car want to fishtail during the rain and are next to pathetic for off-road use. What saves the Jeep off-road is it's ground clearance, suspension articulation, and 4wd gearing (both Hi-and-Lo). Overall, I love this thing and want nothing else | ||

My Jeep — Awesome because the capabilities are numerous, and i can usually drive it just as well in inclement weather as in normal weather. It also serves as a great storage area for all my junk that i tend to carry around with me and is useful in just about any situation. | ||

2003 Jeep Liberty Freedom Edition 4WD Review
ProsComfortable, capable, reliable, attractive, online forums (http://www.lostkjs.com and http://www.jeepkj.com) Consfuel economy, power, price of parts, stock brake rotors warp easily

I Love It! — I have had this car since it was brand new. It now has 52000 miles and it is great. It drives well and is a lot of fun. The seats are very comfortable. It gets me anywhere I need to be in any weather (except hail). My only complaints are the poor fuel economy, the lack of power, and the fact it takes nothing to warp the brake rotors. With it being a Daimler Chrysler model, the parts are expensive. Overall it is a great vehicle I would recommend to anyone! | ||

ProsIts a Jeep! Consgood gas mileage

20,000 Miles And Only $100 For Repairs. Has Total 98,000 Miles — GAS MILEAGE IS TERRIBLE! Build quality is good, wish the interior plastics weren't as hard. There is enough power to get you moving, however since it is primarily rear wheel drive the back end is a bit more lively than expected on wet roads. 4WD is great in the snow, however eats more gas.

The Jeep Liberty Is About As Good As It Gets — Bought new in 2002, but a 2003 Liberty Sport 4x4. This is by far, the best vehicle I've ever owned. It's also the only one I've ever been in a wreck with. I've had no major issues mechanically with this vehicle. I've done all my own oil and filter changes, and it's a breeze to change the oil and filter. You don't even have to jack it up! Good acceleration, 30,000 miles between tune-ups, and virtually a maintenance free vehicle. Only attention I give it is 3 month oil and filter changes and a 30,000 mile service for the transmission....also a tune-up and a coolant flush every 3 years. Good interior, but the driver's seat seems at a very weird angle to me....perhaps this makes the Jeep a little tiring on long drives. Very strongly built. I slid on ice last winter and slammed rear end first into a concrete center divider with damage to the rear door and spare tire assembly. It was probably my fault as I didn't have it in 4wd at the time. Speaking of 4WD....it's good when in 4WD Hi. I don't have a clue what the 4WD LO is for, and I've never used it. We have snow for 6 months of the year around here, so this Jeep is a perfect vehicle for that. Concerning squeaks and rattles...the dashboard has an annoying rattle behind the speedometer, but I've learned to live with it. Excellent AM/FM/CD stereo..with beautiful sound. The only three minor complaints I would have with the Jeep Liberty is brake rotor noise from the rear when the rotors are wet and you're backing up, slight front end vibration at higher speeds, which seems endemic no matter what tires you put on, or how perfectly they're balanced, and poor gas mileage. There is a trick to increasing your gas mileage....don't go over 60mph on the freeway, because then it sucks gas like a pig. It is a fun, comfortable, vehicle to drive. It looks good, and it's reliable as hell. Could one ask for much more???? Primary Use: Commuting to work |
