2009 Patriot 4x4

I bought my Patriot Sport 2 months ago and am very pleased with the vehicle. I get about 28 to 29 MPG on the highway and average 25 overall. I waited until the 2009s were available before purchasing since I was hoping Jeep would change the interior. I am so happy that I did - the interior dash is so much more refined than the 07-08! I did buy the manual because I like manuals, wanted the better mileage, better pickup and lower cost. I'm glad I did. I never did drive the CV automatic. The vehicle is amazing in the snow without even locking in the 4x4 (I live in Wisconsin). It is even nicer getting around town in the snow than my 1996 Grand Cherokee was. Overall this is a great Jeep.

I have put 5000 miles on mine already and I still love it. It is a comfortable commute and a very reliable car. The CVT is a little weird at first but you get used to it, and the fuel savings is worth it. We had an ice storm last December and mine was one of the very few cars that could climb up the icy exit ramps to the highway. I get 25 MPG average but have had up to 30 occasionally. I've transported kids from school, lumber and gardening soil with it: it's easy to clean. If you can, get it with a foldable front seat so you can transport stuff up to 8 feet long.

For my first Jeep, I am very satisfied with my choice. This SUV does well with the mpg's and is sharp looking too. The ride is comfortable and the interior is spacious. The cargo area is a little small, but manageable. I think if you are looking for an SUV that is economical...this is it!

I bought this Jeep for the 4X4 capability. In MI, I burned up the trans in my 2000 Grand Marquis because I kept getting stuck in the snow, over 9 years (only 92,000). I have to say that I will probably never own another vehicle, other than a JEEP 4X4. Vehicle paid for itself in the first month I had it. We had one of the snowiest Dec on record, and I was able to go where others got stuck. I have nothing bad to say about my JEEP. I love her. I named her SYDNEY. :-) My next JEEP will be the Limited (maxed out).

Living Houston, and the horrible commutes to and from work, this little Jeep does pretty well with an average of 19.8 mpg. Even though it is a little sluggish from a stop it is a very light and responsive vehicle that really climbs up the speedometer fast! The roominess of the cabin great and sits comfortably with plenty of leg room to spare. The Life Time warranty on the power train is the best around. The in-dash compass and audible signals for gas and oil change are handy. The Sirius radio, navigation system, Blue Tooth, etc… in this device are very nice additions in “creature features”. It has a “Brilliant Black Crystal Pearlcoat” which really shimmers in the sunlight. Very nice Jeep!
