jeep sport liberty
Sorry if this is wrong newsgroup for posting this
message. I need a fairly small vehicle, that has got to get me to work
everyday without fail no matter the weather. I live in the northeast, but
not too far north(one of the mid atlantic states). We can get heavy snow,
sleet and rain.
I have looked at the rav 4 , and the jeep liberty. I am
looking at the automatic trannie only. I am leaning towards the liberty
sport because of the greater room behind the front seats, for storing gear.
I have test driven them both, but only in city driving,
couldnt get the dealership to get to a highway with them.(but that is
another story)
1) The rav four seemed excellent in fit and finish. The engine seemed
smooth and the car felt great, except its a little cramped for space.
2) The jeep engine felt sound, but not as refined. The car also felt to not
handle as well .
Questions:
From your experiences, what has the dependibility of newer jeep liberty
4wd vehicles have been? I cant afford to have a vehicle that is constantly
in the shop. If I dont get to work on time, It is serious.
Is the highway driving that bad? From reading reviews they talk
about the stiff drive, because the jeep is also a serious off roader, and
thus comprimised. I am willing to compromise a bit, because when it snows
and sleets at three in the mourning, I have no choice but to be in the
vehicle driving to or from work. I do like the jeeps rear room.
So any actual experiences would be appreciated. One other
reason is that the wife actually likes the way the jeep fits her body. She
is short, and she also likes the visibility on the jeep.
This is a tough decision. I have a parking situation
at work, thus I cant bring my larger suv to work.
Looked at the honda crv, and the pedals are too far away for wife.
So please help me out..LOL
Thanks in advance

Re: jeep sport liberty
I am in the UK and own a Diesel auto Liberty, which you don't get
until later this year. I can't fault the car at all, however we
don't get much snow over here so can't really tell you how good it
is!! I looked at the RAV4 but they are pretty common over here
whereas the Liberty is just a bit different. The other one you might
consider is the Land Rover Freelander, though it's not such a high
driving position.
