Impressions so far Jeep Patriot 11,000 miles
by sedalia on Wed Sep 03 13:16:52 PDT 2008
Bought our Patriot end of Oct/2007. We endured an exceptionally hard winter in Colorado 2007/2008. I am very happy to report our Jeep Patriot 4x4 Trail-Rated (w/CVT) proved exceptionally stable and stout in many trips up and down and over the Continental Divide, even over rugged Hoosier Pass (Breckenridge-to-SouthPark) about 11,00-ft elevation, above tree line.. Patriot muscled right over in the worst possilbe conditions - extremely heavy winds, blowing/drifting snow, low to non-existent visibility: zero complaints, steady as a rock, great grip, nice and tight. The only problem the whole winter was when newly-licensed teenager was able to 'break the wheels' making a turn on icy street and hit the curb in an awkward way - which expensively boogered up the suspension and steering. Runs fine now after the fix. Jeep also ran great during the hot summer. That thing likes to get up hills, for sure. Can't wait to take it off-road this Fall at Kenosha Pass. Only real complaint is during a slow deceleration there is a definite dead spot at about 12 - 15 mph. Local dealership techie said this was because of the way transmission software is set up. He said that this dead spot comes about because of exigencies built in to the CVT protocol that need to account for a quick acceleration should it occur in that range, He was going to check with "his people" to see if there would be fix for this, but I never heard back. All-in-all, I like this vehicle, especially all the interior room and the way it handles on-road during inclement situations.

Linzee: Also remember this--dealers continually do dealer trades--I live at Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri--bought my wife's 08 RAV4 in Sedalia, MO and it was trailered from near South Bend, IN. Take a look at one of your local dealers inventories--click on RAV4--you'll see "in stock"--what he has on the lot and also "available"--what is in a manufacturers pool of cars available to all the dealers. Again--best bet--find one on the lot you like--then start negotiating!! GET THE $39 Consumer Reports Car Buying Kit----best $39 you can spend! You can get the dealers cost---dealers invoice which includes the holdback and the MSRP. The report lists all option and the dealer cost and MSRP cost. Go to www.consumerreports.org Have fun!! Bob

In that case, it'd be pretty reliable. They'd worked out most of the kinks by that time. I don't think the manifold issue affects post-2000 Jeeps. It's definitely not the safest car for a teen, but it's not all that fast either so it's not like he'll be driving it 100mph. You'd have to impress on him the high center of gravity and the need to take turns slower than a car. And that increased traction in the snow from 4wd does not include increased braking in the snow. I drove my Jeep all over the Oregon Cascades in winter and it performed like a champ.

Well, there are great points there mac24 and wpowell, and I sure do appreciate your kind and thoughtful answers. Still, maybe it's just my mid-life crisis sensibilities that are pushing me towards further consideration of what looks like a vehicle that will have low maintainance costs and start in during our Colorado winter, since it will not be garaged, yet get him where he needs to be without me having to bail him out so to speak...maybe if we just leave the hard-top on and take out the back seat some of those issues can expected to be mitigated. I wonder if there is some formal Jeep training course in which he can enroll near of south Denver ? Most of inquiry would therefore seem to be service-oriented issues on a Wrangler from this year and that many miles?

This topic has been covered in some depth here, but I'm not sure a search would readily turn it up. Unless you have an exceptionally responsible teenager who also happens to have exceptional teenage driving skills a wrangler is not a good choice in the opinion of most mature owners. Short wheelbase, relatively high center of gravity, quirky handling, spotty crash test results, poor security, etc. make them generally a poor choice for young drivers. They are very popular for this segment for reasons like affordability and image, but I would buy my teen driver something big, slow and stable. Good luck!
2001 Jeep Wrangler Sport w/Auto
by sedalia on Wed Aug 15 14:58:33 PDT 2007
I am seriously considering buying a well-maintained and cosmetically attractive '01 Wrangler Sport 130K with automatic transmission for my teenager who will use it to communte to high school, take up to the local ski areas, maybe a fishing trip or two in the summer. Other than relatively crappy gas mileage (to a sedan ?) I wonder what kind of "land mines" I might anticipate ? Thanks !
