The biggest issue with this model year (and I think all models up to 2018(?) is the gps and entertainment unit. I haven't had a large hatchback before and it's a bit annoying having to force the closing if I have items in my hand. The hatchback works well but I would have appreciated an automatic open/close function. The adjustments with the seats are very good I think. Seats are comfortable enough though I might have chosen the touring model for the cloth seats instead of leather because items slide off the seats and I notice some wear and stitching tears that I'll need to have repaired. The lag when pressing hard on the gas is a bit annoying and the 0-60 time seems a bit slow for the 184hp 2.5l engine but once it gets into it's power band it goes. I used to have a Mazda protege in the 90's and it gave that handling excitement despite its modest power. It feels good to drive and it's even fun though I don't push that. I get a pretty strong connection with the road. The handling is on the stiffer side made to give a feel of performance which it does. Overall the look and feel seems right on the bubble of being luxury. Storage is good and there's enough pockets, compartments and spaces for personal items. Windshield wipers work fine but the intermittent timer sometimes seems to fluctuate either based on speed of the car or there's something malfunctioning. Temperature functions are simple and work really well. Placement of gauges is very good and buttons/functions are easy to access. It's a very good looking vehicle inside and out. I have the grand touring trim in all black. Based on my research it should last up to 300k miles with regular maintenance and non aggressive driving. I bought the 2015 cx5 used a few months ago with 88k miles on it. Complete game changer now I absolutely love it! This Liberty just crossed 125,000 and is running like a champ.įinal note: I hated the look and everything about the Liberty when my Dad bought his. One minor issue with the AM/FM radio, the receiver chip in the radio went bad, so no AM/FM. Used it several times on snowy unplowed Wisconsin roads and it has been solid. The 4-wheel drive system has been good as well. The engine and Transmission are fine, no issues. This Liberty just turned 300,000 and is still running well!Ģ012 bought used with 65,000. The AC takes a little while to cool the interior down, but it hasn’t been serviced or recharged. Some very minor issues with the power window switch, it stopped working, but easy fix. No problems with the engine or transmission, 4-wheel drive works great. I love my Liberty! I was inspired to buy mine (used) after temporarily inheriting my Dad’s 2008 Liberty.Ģ008: Bought brand new out of the showroom it was an everyday driver and has been very reliable.
