The liberty is a smooth and quiet ride with very good steering and handling. Interior is well designed w/ easy to reach controls that aren't complicated to learn. 4WD performance is adequate for all but the most grueling trails, but you wouldn't take a stock vehicle on those. Storage is quite good for a small SUV. My only complaint is that it's just a bit too small of an interior to be comfortable for several hours of straight driving. Power is acceptable and pulls a small boat or trailer easily through the hills though don't expect to win any drag races even while not towning. I only rate this "good" because the small interior does come at a bit of a sacrifice to my family's comfort. I'm 6' 1" & 240lbs.
Before buying my Jeep Liberty, I test drove (and rented) a couple of different SUVs. Of all of the trucks I drove, this one handled the best. Overall it is a great car. I love the power, handling and comfort of the car for the passengers. The only thing I don't love about it is the cargo space and extra space in general. The glove compartment is VERY small, there are no storage pockets on the back of the seats and the back cargo area is very small too. I had a previous SUV that was about the same overall size with a lot bigger cargo area. I would say if you don't need to haul anything around in the back, overall it would be the ideal choice for the money.
I purchased a 2007 Liberty with less than 17,000 miles, by Monday (we bought on a Saturday) after taking it for a distance drive had to take it in for an alignment. Car rides smooth, but the cab echos during a hard rain. When taking a corner to fast, the exceleration cuts off preventing you from tipping over which is great if you enjoy offroading. Overall a great vehicle, plenty of room, good value for your money.
