I have never been a jeep fan, but I wanted a vehicle with decent room, good gas mileage, and inexpensive. I looked at toyota, honda, and others, but prices were too high. Then I read about the patriot here on Edmunds and got interested. I reluctently went to the local dealer and drove one and I was shocked! I selected a 4 cyl with front wheel drive and a 5 spd manual and it drives more like a honda accord than a jeep. It is very basic (A/C is the only option) but I purchased the vehicle brand new for $13,288 including dealer doc fees. (The MSRP was $18,000) My first tank ful of gas I got 30.1 mpg! The Patriot is solid, an incredible value and highly recommended.
Not what I wanted but still a great vehicle

I was not planning to buy this but I was in a crunch and the dealership was running a great special on these SUVs. I opted for the manual model. It shifts easily and smoothly. I cannot find a bad thing to say about this vehicle. It is a little boxy for me, but other than that, it's great. If you're looking for a great value and need a little extra space, this car is great for you. The only other thing I can think of is that when you have the AC on, the car struggles to accelerate.
Great Car, Don't Listen to "Experts"

Please don't judge this car by the "expert" reviews. I've owned this car for one year and put 14k miles on it. I love it! Gas mileage is as advertised or even better (and that's with a base automatic engine). Interior is simple, but more than adequate. Ride is a little noisy on the highway, but hey, it's a Jeep not a Mercedes. If you're looking for a smaller SUV that's reliable and affordable then I highly recommend you check out the Patriot.
It's a Jeep!

First of all, it's a Jeep. Do you want plush comfort when driving? I don't think so! It's a Jeep! You really feel the road. You really have to shift gears. The steering is pretty easy though. The worse thing about the Patriot is the front visibility at about 45 degrees on both sides. This is really a problem unless you're very careful when approaching crosswalks. I wish the gas mileage were a little better, but I shouldn't expect it on a car this size. I get 23 mpg in the city. It could be a little better. The fold-down rear seats are really neat - they fold down all the way, and the passenger-side front seat also folds down. I like the engine noise - I know what the engine is doing. It's not very loud, but you can hear it revving. 1st gear is powerful - I haven't had any problem going up steep hills on dirt. The other gears are fun because you can go fast in them without the engine over-revving, and you can hear the gas injectors doing their job. I drive in 4th gear under 40 mph, and can downshift to gears that would over-rev the engine in other cars (all other cars I've owned). Once you catch on to how the gears work it's a rush to use them, especially downshifting and revving up to 3 or 4000 to upshift. The brakes are super nice. I don't know they're there, and I've had to brake sharply on a couple of occasions - no problem, but then I've never had ABS brakes. (my brakes squeak when cold or wet at very low speeds). The agency where I bought the Patriot honors the warranty, no questions asked. And they wash the car when you service it! What I'm saying is, it's a little rough for the driving. The front seats are very comfortable. I like a little rough. It's a Jeep!! Plus, you can fold the front passenger seat all the way down flat. Great for camping.

We got a 2014 Patriot for my Wife because we both liked our 2008 Patriot so much. It's FWD with the 2.0 engine and a 5-speed manual transmission. The 2014 has been excellent. Cargo space is very good, ride comfort is also very good. No, it's not a Buick but this is as good or better than I expected from a bare-bones Jeep. Fuel economy averages 30MPG locally, and approaches 35MPG on a long trip. It's very capable in snow (with only FWD), and easy on tires. Only drawback is that it with such a small engine it takes a lot of shifting in the mountains. It's now at 150,000 miles. Front wheel bearings have been the only repairs besides basic maintenance. I wish they still made them -- I'd buy another. Update: Now at 160,000 miles. I just got the wiring for my trailer hitch fixed. Used my Patriot to haul a U-Haul full of furniture. It's a small engine and I took it easy, I don't have the factory towing package and it was an unusually hot day, but it did just fine. Update: Now at 185,000. Just had the rear brakes done. Otherwise no problems. Update: August 2023, now at 192,000 miles. I just replaced the clutch and transmission. Cost a little over $5000 total, and I consider it money well spent. I've looked at the new vehicles and they are fabulously overpriced. I could put 5 transmissions in my Patriot for the cost of anything new, and still have money left over. Besides, I like my Patriot better than anything comparable on the market today. Update February 2024: Now at 198,000 miles. Running fine after the drive-train work noted above. I still love it and have no thoughts of selling or trading it. Changing the turn signal bulbs is a chore! Fender well must be removed and front bumper loosened. What should be a 5 minute job takes an hour. I've done the taillights and headlights -- those are pretty straightforward.
