General Comments:
I am in love with my Jeep.
I have owned this Jeep for 13 years, and been thru good times and bad times. Have had numerous issues with it, but this machine is the best vehicle I have ever had.
I just love to drive it. Visibility is good, power is good, easy to find parts for, and has a very "classy look".
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Thanks for a great review!
I am in agreement, I also wish they were still making this model, however Chrysler has discontinued all of the (superior) AMC designed models, and replaced them with Chrysler designed (and in my opinion far inferior models).
I actually got rid of a brand new Liberty four years ago and replaced it with a 1995 (AMC designed) Wrangler. I then did a complete restoration of the Wrangler and am still driving a very reliable 15 year old Jeep, that looks and drives like new. (Of course for the money spent on the restoration I could have purchased a new Wrangler, but after owning a new '03 Wrangler and a new '04 Liberty, I decided to go back to a Jeep model that I felt was far better made)
Jeep should have never stopped production of the Cherokee and the 4.0 liter engine - They have just not been the same company since.
