Just thought I would start one fo these since this was what we looked at while comparing to the CRV.
My biggest complaint with the Jeep was it felt much smaller!

My concerns with the Liberty are build quality (Jeep's have had a fairly poor recent track record on this department), safety (the insurance institute rated it as "marginal", and the rollover worries are still there), and gas mileage. Given that they dropped the suspension down by nearly and inch on the Liberties following the rollover scandals, reducing their off-road worthiness substantially, I don't see any compelling reason to pick one over a CR-V or Forester (for urban driving) or an Xterra (for off-roading).
