My wife's PT bit the dust & we ended up with a program 2011 Jeep Patriot. Good car. Handles well. and the fuel mileage is great. Two adults and their stuff, we got a low of 28 MPG in the hills of north Arkansas to 32.9 in the flat lands of Illinois and in Kansas. That's with the air on. The transmission takes getting used to but is not a minus after you understand there are no real gears. Want to merge, give the shifted a swat to drop down a bit and GO! Remember it's just a 2.4 not a V8. A great value . This is the the mild mannered 4WD, it's ditch rated not trail rated. Plenty good enough. This is north central Arkansas, hills' twisty roads and a lot of gravel.

I really enjoyed my Jeep Patriot. Purchased new in 2012; other than basic wear replacements (brakes, struts, etc) I never had issues with my vehicle. Had for over 100k miles before I needed to replace the battery, so definitely got my money’s worth. Great for bad weather, especially with ability of switching to 4x4. Great on gas mileage as well. Speeding up while getting on highway was slower, as it’s a CVT, but I never had any problems. A vehicle lasts only as long as you take care of it; it’s capable of doing light off roaring, like going to a campsite, but not what a Wrangler can do.

The front drivers side seat only goes front to back. There is no seat height adjustment. The center console is too far back making it hard to access. My wipers go on when I use them to signal a turn and the dealership said they don’t know how to fix it. They couldn’t duplicate the problem!

The Patriot is a nice Jeep... Has good get up and go for a SUV... It was so much FUN Off-roading!! Has a decent amount of Cargo Space, but is a little small for us at least!! It only had 60,000 miles on it when I bought it back in June 2020!! It does have a comfortable ride on pavement or Off-roading!! It's a great little Jeep, Looked like NEW!!
