The 2008 Jeep Liberty Sport is a smallish rear/four-wheel drive SUV. It has good handling with being a higher profile vehicle. I have owned it for several years and it is very steady and dependable. As it is an SUV the gas mileage isn't wonderful but is acceptable. The four doors make it comfortable for passengers (can seat a total of five) and the back hatch is handy for hauling a number of items. The back hatch lifts upward which is not as convenient as the side opening hatch which I've noticed on other Liberties. I've encountered few major problems with my Liberty which I purchased used. It has decent hauling capabilities for its size much more so than the Jeep Wrangler. I live in a rural area with unmaintained roads and this past winter when our heavy snow accumulation finally began to thaw, the four-wheel drive handled admirably. Although I once got stuck up to the axles the process of getting unstuck did not damage to the under carriage. With it having close to 150,000 miles on it, I suppose there is some major maintenance that will need to be done, however, I'm hopeful the my Jeep Liberty Sport will remain my faithful companion for several more years to come. I only wish that production of the Liberty hadn't ended in 2016. At least there are still some used ones out there.

I have owned my Jeep Liberty for nine years now, and I will forever be a Jeep owner. I like the size of the vehicle. It is not too big. I can park just as easily as if I were in a car, but it is high up since it is an SUV, so I feel very safe. I like the way the vehicle looks. I think they are cute and sporty looking. In the nine years I have owned the vehicle, I have had no major mechanical issues, and the only expenses I have incurred have been for normal vehicle maintenance and normal wear and tear. The vehicle is reliable and drives well in all types of weather. I live in a state where we get a lot of snow, and my Jeep has always gotten me safely where I need to go in a snow storm.
