Used 2013 Jeep Patriot Limited 4dr SUV 4WD (2.4L 4cyl CVT) Consumer Reviews
Patriot
I did my research and mostly read negative reviews of this vehicle so I was hesitant in seriously pursing it. I liked the looks of it and didn't need anything to fancy other than the 4x4 option and height adjuster drivers seat which means the Latitude model with heated seats. I do have a Grand Cherokee with the Penstar 6 engine but couldn't afford another one so this vehicle made sense for me. Long story short I did purchase this vehicle and couldn't be happier it is fantastic in the snow and all though you will not win any races off the line the 2.4 liter engine is very capable when needed and I average 23 MPG. The CVT transmission is great it always knows where it needs to be.
Some like Jeeps...
and some don't. Reading the reviews mad me think that if I bought this vehicle, the universe would collapse! Then I took a ride in one. The extremely dark-green that it looks black finish is gorgeous, the seams are all tight, build quality is very good. Comfort is no lexus quality, but then again, it if fine for a small SUV. Value? No contest. It's a Jeep. This thing is also a blast to drive. I'll note that a lot of reviewers mus not know how to use a CVT transmission. I've had two of these transmissions now, and so far, my Patriot is getting almost 30 mpg on the highway. We should Learn to use the CVT before declaring it junk.

Review
This is the worse vehicle you could have. First the build quality the door trim was never right from day one. 72K miles, Tranny went out, rear Wheel bearing went out, never been off road in it so no mud to cause that. The gas mpg 12-21, and the road noise is terrible. The transmission has a 6 gear its for down hill because it want pull a hill in it and the cruise control will vary 5 below to it decides to pick up speed.
