Re: jeep sport liberty
This is the right group for your Jeep questions.
I have been paying attention to the Liberty as far as complaints go for
reliable and so far there have been no inherent issues that have been
posted on the usenet Jeep groups I frequent.
It has decent clearance, still drives like the small truck Jeeps are
supposed to be and from what I have heard from folks that wheel them in
4x4, have just as well a behaved 4x4 as any Jeep.
It 'isn't' a car.
Jeeps have the sweetest, most well behaved 4x4 of any off road truck I
have ever seen or driven in and I have been bush running since the 70's.
Jeeps also let you know 'real' fast if you are going to fast for
conditions, they get twitchy. Well, when a Jeep gets twitchy, check the
stopping distance, it won't easily let you outdrive the stopping power,
but it still can...
I love the shift on the fly 4x4 because I am in Canada and had a shift
that got off at 4 AM well before the plows are out. I also 'had' to be
to work. The newspapers must go out! It was a 20 mile uphill drive
home and being able to just hit 4x4 when I saw blowing snow ahead and
drop out when I saw clear without changing speed is nice.
My $0.02 for you,

Re: jeep sport liberty
keep in mind that the liberty is not really a Jeep, not in anyway, except
for the name that Krysler stuck on it. might investigate a good used
cherokee, which was done by a completely different sent of engineering (and
styling) parameters, by a different manufacturer. . The liberty is
tip-prone by krysler's own admission, due to faulty (ignorant?) design
parameters. IF you can stand the styling (?) gawkiness and weird proportions
and irrelevent dips and bulges and odd angles, then the liberty just might
be for you. but please don't refer to it as Jeep. It is not.
