Transmission troubles and timing cover/water pump failures are just about expected failures.

My wife bought a Liberty brand new in 2005 and it was 100% reliable up to and including the day she traded it in. She has the recalled ball joints replaced but the truck never let her down. Gas mileage was so-so with the 3.7L V6 and I found the 6-speed manual a little knotchy but otherwise, no troubles at all.
I've stuck with TJ's since they stopped building Cherokees and my Unlimited is great. Decent room inside and an actual tow rating which can't be said of the SWB Jeeps. If only it wasn't such a pig on fuel. Maybe I should invest in one of those Tornado things for the intake!

My SLK isn't bad on mileage either (and don't call it "sport cute"). Decent car. I'd recommend the SLK-230 Kompressor since it's a 4 cyl and probably a little better on gas than my V6 320 model, so long as you can keep your foot off the fun pedal.

The SLK isn't a "sport cute", it's a chick's car.
Seriously though, a small convertible isn't on my radar. I need something that has room to carry the odd bulky item and if it can tow my small sportbike trailer, so much the better!
