Everything I wanted

Always wanted a Jeep so entered the pool by buying a Patriot. Nothing fancy—I.e., basic radio controls—but my goals were utility, maneuverability, reliability and economy, and so far, after 3.5 years, all remains good. Biggest complaint? Interior is all black, which shows up all the dirt and dust a lazy person seems to attract.

Is great for the first 60 thousand miles.

Not the best vechial to have if driving more then 15,000 miles a year. Has cvt issues,at 60 thousand. Has excerallion issues. It is roomy, and I like the body style. But personally I wish I could get rid of the patriot.

Love the Patriot

Course now that I have seen a Jeep Sahara I want that. It is a beautiful vehicle that is very impressive. I mean I still have to pay off the Patriot but in 5 years it's either the Sahara or a Chevy Silvarado. I've had a Silvarado and love that truck so I won't know for 5 years and still have time to think about it.

The worst car I have ever owned

Do you not buy this car and it to has been messing up and I only have 40,000 miles on it. If you really look into other reviews about the jeep patriot you will see that the throttlebody is always in issue and it will stop in the middle of the road with no warning . I definitely hate this vehicle and I will never ever purchased one of these ever again

The Absolute Best!

This car is the most comfortable and fast accelerating vehicle I have ever owned. It handles like a dream in snow. Its roomy, and has nice front and rear seats. The horn is very loud, I use it a lot.

Jeep tough in disguise

Perfect small car for a family of 4 with 3 members over 6’3”. Has a lot of get-up-and-go and a tremendous amount of space/storage for its size. Seats high so a big plus for folks with knee problems and ease of getting in and out. Very happy, truly the best option in the small SUV/crossover field.

The best snow driving vehicle ever owned.

It has good pick up and go. Lots of leg room. Great heat for winter and great air conditioning for hot weather. The electronic sun roof is awesome. Extra cup holders in the back seat are a plus. The extra open storage above the glove compartment is outstanding. Awesome sound system for being factory.
