This was my first car, I've had it for almost 10yrs and it has held up to everything I have put it through! I love has it handled Alaskan winter, never had an issue with starting and has only ever been stuck 3 times no matter how deep the snow is. I would definitely recommend this car as a first car!

I bought my 2013 Jeep Patriot 6-7 years ago, and when searching for a car for my daughter, for long trips back and forth to college, I found another 2013 Jeep Patriot. I will say I had an issue with my Patriot that put me back $1,200 but since that time, it's been fine. So I have no issue recommending it. Both have heated seats (best feature) and remote start - 2 features I'd never had and would hate to not have again. Mine also has the sunroof, which is nice. The Patriot is my 2nd Jeep (first was a 2002 Liberty) and I don't plan on buying anything but Jeeps going forward. My daughter loves hers as well and as she puts it, she feels SAFE driving it.

Well worth the price

Excellent auto for the price with many bells & whistles (fog lights, rear window heater, etc.) standard. Good for a young person but not great for a fat old man.

Jeep Patriot

2012 Jeep Patriot Latitude 4dr SUV 4WD (2.4L 4cyl CVT)

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.

My experience with Jeep

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!
