RE: Re: RE: "Sandwhich" or "Sammich"
there's nothing wrong with a liberty. i used to valet, so i've driven everything. they're nice. the IFS makes for a nicer on road ride. it all depends what you want it for. some people in here are going to tell you not to go with it cause they hate the IFS, but, if you're not going to build it up and go off-road, dont worry about it.
i'm not a ford guy, but i drove escapes too, and they're in the similar range. honestly, i love my jeep, and i'm going to drive it till it dies, then rebuild it and do it again, but i dont see anything wrong with owning a car from another company. as far as the saying "at least its still a jeep" goes, if you're not going to use it like an SUV, or for off roading, why does that matter?
so, that said, will it just be a DD for the wife? you got kids to lug around? she have a long commute daily? if you drive it, and like it, go for it, but if you realize its not quite what you're looking for, then there are plenty of other options out there.
