My best friends girlfriend (well...fiance...) recently went from a 97 altima that probably got 25-30 mpg and was comfortable to an 05 liberty that we checked the mpg on once, 15.7 mpg. It also rides so horribly it hurts my kidneys. I do NOT feel safe in it at all. It also has a good share of issues that I would not expect a 5 year old vehicle to have. They already had to replace the rear rotors and pads. They thought they got a deal on it but even the tires are needing replaced. Id take a FWD with decent tires any day over a 4wd with bad tires.
