O read those poor customer reviews all the time and can't help but laugh! You've Got to look at a couple things...
First, the vehicles they compare it against..Honda pilot,Toyota 4runner,ect. NOT even close to the capability of the liberty..but they make the mass market happy.
Second, on what I said about the mass market, jeep lovers are a Niche market as it is. so they poll the regar market and of course end up with low scores.
Third, the things they usually complain about are..engin noise,poor rear seating room, mpg..funny thing is ive never gotten a conaint about my back seat and I love how the engine sounds! And of cOurse you will have poor mpg..with actual 4wd your not going to get 25mpg..ever!
Finally, in the break down of the scores almost every time the liberty rates high in cargo,off road ability, and ride quality. All the things that usually matter to a jeep owner.
I was nervous what I got into when I baught my '10 liberty..but I love it and refuse to give it up! I keep it under 2k rpm and use the heck out of my cruise control and get 19mpg, that's good enough for me
Hope the knee feels better
