I realize you probably were making your comment about the KJ (2002-2007) Libertys, but I can tell you my 2009 KK Liberty is a great blend of versatility. I'm fine using it as my daily driver driving to work in slacks, dress shirt and tie, then can haul my niece and nephew around easily, can easily haul me plus 4 other people, I can fold down the rear seats flat to haul remodeling or Jeep project stuff plus I can then actually take it out wheelin' and have a great time, as shown below:
Currently working on some mods to be ready after the first of the year to further enhance off-road capabilities of my KK.
