2009 Jeep Liberty User Reviews

Pros

great suv for the money-better turn radius-love the sunroof

Purchased As New

i had a 2006 jeep liberty limited 4x4 and turning was the worst very dangerous when raining-this 2009 is much better and more stable than the 2006 limited liberty---good job Jeep--would recommend to a friend---lots of room and comfortable

Pros

Lots of torque, plenty of room for people and cargo, bold appearance, chrome, 4x4, smooth

Cons

random small compartments

Purchased As New

Love this car. It looks tough and it acts tough. Plenty of power for my 5000 lb. boat. Great looks and smooth ride. Transmission shifts beautifully. Tons of cargo room, with plenty of people room.

Pros

Great Ride for an SUV, Uconnect for phone is awesome.

Cons

Could use another 12V outlet. Better gas mileage.

Have the Liberty Sport 4x4 for a week now 450 miles and no problems. When buying this vehicle you have to remember you bought a jeep not a Lexus. Has decent pickup. Gas mileage could be better but it is what it is. Handles great for a SUV and goes up hills better than my 06 Xterra. I am very happy. Gotta love Lifetime power train warranty. My 06 Xterra had 94,000 miles on it and the transmission started acting up, If it was the 09 Liberty they would have fixed it at no cost to me. Good vehicle Jeep, Bravo!!...read morehide

Cons

satelite radio interruptions, gas mileage

Purchased As New

OK let me start by saying that I bought this vehicle because it is a weekend vehicle and I loved the cherokee sport I had 10 years ago. So far the liberty lives up to my expectations in most ways. It has that jeep purr and ride. it has ample power and best of all I like the ergonomics from the drivers POV. The center console is perfect and has lots of places to put things, the radio is postioned well, it is a joy to drive. I also like how it sits higher than most of the new SUVs. Remember this is a truck. if you want the ride and feel of a lexus...then buy a sedan. My only complaint is that the SAT radio gets breaks in reception..probably not jeeps fault but it is what it is. Also, it likes to drink gas so far..but that was expected. Like I say I don't commute in this vehicle. It is very comfy and quiet on the highway too! Under the hood it is very simple to locate things and you can actually check your oil. So many new cars are completely unfriendly when you pop the hood.

So get out there and support your country...buy a JEEP!...read morehide

Pros

hot looks, spacey, smooth in the city

Cons

none

Purchased As New

although I didn't buy expecting a good gas performace you can always do better on this dept. perfect to carry my drum kit or my mountain bike and still getting a lot of room.

i'm actually surprised how great it handles in the city. good interiors. unless you really need the 4x4 i would recommend go with the 4x2 and save some bucks, not much difference altogheter.

mine is white with chrome grill, chrome sidebar, reverse sensors and i definitely couldn't ask for anything better at this price segment....read morehide

Pros

Good exterior styling; rugged 4x4 functionality

Cons

Underpowered; needs smoother shifting trans; Needs more standard bells/whistles

Purchased As New

I've received quite a few favorable comments on the look of the new Liberty. It rides like a Jeep which was expected and actually that's what I was looking for. However, I feel that the engine is either underpowered at only 210 HP or the transmission needs different gearing to make straight line acceleration better. Has anyone had any issues with their transmission shifting from second to third? I sometimes get a jarring shift like when I was just learning how to drive a manual trans. Anyway, good styling and overall functionality just wish for a few more horses under the hood and hopefully a problem free transmission. It would also be nice to have automatic lights and a few other convenience features as standard on a Sport model....read morehide

Pros

Great in the snow - the best 4x4 system available

Cons

Can't find any cons

Purchased As New

Buy, Buy, Buy this car. You will not regret! One of the best models Jeep ever produced. Anything you ever wanted to have in a car. Tough and gentle. Rough and soft. You can tell I'm a happy Liberty driver. When it snows, switch to 4x4 and I'm the fastest car on the road. As well as in heavy rain.
By the way, I also had the previous model. This one is MUCH BETTER....read morehide

Pros

sun roof :). perfect for ski or beach trips, made it up a huge hill during a snow storm in NJ

Cons

It doesn't come with roof racks, only beginnner rails

Purchased As Used

LOVE MY LIBERTY! My mother has one and I liked hers so much, I traded in my Wrangler for a used '08 Liberty. The little things make it excellent. The plug in teh backseat to charge things, the flip-over trunk tray for sandy beachchairs or snowboarding boots, and holders in teh fornt that perfectly hold my cellphone and chapstick :)...read morehide
