I have no experience with the Liberty but I own a 2010 Jeep Patriot. I LOVE my Jeep sooo much. I was in a bad accident last year with my '09 Patriot where it was totaled but it did me good in the accident -- I think it would have been a lot worse had I been in my old car.
I like it because it's still an SUV but it's really like driving a car. Now, I don't have the four wheel drive one, if you can afford it, I'd suggest it. However, my Patriot did great in the snow and we had lots of it last winter. Between my moms Infiniti and my Jeep (both not four wheel drive) mine was the only one we could get out.
It's a great "dog car" too. The seats fold down, one of them goes down individually. Jackson's Snoozer sits perfect in the back seat or I could fold the whole back down. But it's spacious and can comfortably fit 5 people (driver, and 4 passengers). My back/trunk area, whatever you want to call it, is great and can pack a lot in.
I have a small tank on mine -- it's only like a 13 gallon tank. So it doesn't last me a really long time but I don't have too much of an issue with it. Usually I'd pay about $28-$30 to fill it up but lately due to prices I'm spending about $40. Ugh.
Oh, I also got the one with automatic windows. Some of them actually have roll-up windows, can you believe it? LOL. I almost got tricked -- it's cheaper that way but I couldn't have lived with roll up windows. I also have a sun roof which is GREAT! My speakers stereo system is also fabulous. No complaints there.
