I love using diesel vehicles and finally found ONE mid power north

the other options are HUGE trucks or small cars like the jetta

the Jeep liberty seems to be the only north american vehicle with a
midsized diesel. 150ish Hp instead of 300 in the trucks and -100 for
the cars



I like the CRD Liberty, drives well. Fuel economy is disappointing. I
presume that is because the CRD is a cheaper fuel injection. Also, the
Liberty is surprisingly heavy,
