I owned and drove this car every day for a year. It's great within the city and for bad weather and snow (it's a snow king). However, it lacks refinement and at higher speeds it's noisy and bouncy (especially when it's windy). I lacked any parking assist and even though it had bluetooth, the screen was old school and not touch. Also, this car depreciates a lot, so make sure you're willing to keep for some time it if you're gonna buy it.

Was so excited to finally get my first Jeep and go play. Unfortunately this car has been nothing but trouble. Transmission started overheating at 20,000 miles, electric system goes in and out, sometimes my windshield wipers work, sometimes they don't. I have been locked both in and out of my car with the door locks not working. Have been stranded on the side of the road for half hour increments where my car will not work. And this is after it drops from 60-75 miles to hour to 40 miles per hour without warning. I have had my brakes not work when I have used them, almost causing accidents both times. Take it to the dealer to get fixed you say! I have multiple times now, and end up leaving with nothing fixed and them telling me there is nothing wrong with it. Look online though and you can see multiple reviews of people having the same issues. These are the problems I have had so far, then this morning my TMPS started beeping at me and wont go off. However, none of my tires are low or flat. They weren't when it started going off. To top it all of, my seat belt does not consistently lock. it pops out at random, leaving me unprotected in my death trap that was disguised as a new car.

I bought the Jeep Patriot sport se 4x4 model. I traded in my 2011 Grand Cherokee that had 140,000 miles on it. The fact that I can drive a 4x4 suv worry free from repair costs, is quite comforting. As I was still making payments on Grand Cherokee and repairs would come out of my pocket. Now as for the patriot, it ain't no Cherokee, but its not intended to be! Overall I'm impressed with this package on the patriot, the extra attention to details, heated seats, trim accents, etc. Ride quality is good, tolerable road noise, front seats excellent, easy to park, perfect vehicle to zip around town in. A few nit picks I do have is, the lower entrance height, and the lower height of roof area when back hatch is lifted up. I tend to smack my head on these as I'm 6ft tall. Just need to get used to it and be careful. The only real problem I have so far is the absurd location of the usb port. It's not on the radio, not even in center console area, its in the GLOVEBOX! Really?! Its almost impossible to find, even in there. The dealer couldn't even locate it. It is above the opening of the glovebox, up into the dash area. You need to blindly reach up and feel around for it. I have no clue how this is a useful spot to mount this. To use it, you need to drive around with glovebox open and place phone either in glovebox or above on small shelf built into dash. Horrible design on this! This will be my 3rd Jeep and I hope to get years and years of use from it.

Last year for the Jeep Patriot, what I consider the memory of the original Cherokee (I have a '99 Sport). We just love our 2017 Patriot Sport w/5 speed manual. Love the shifter position and the short throw. Easy to drive through the mountain twisties. Were in 8 inches of snow right now and the 4x4 work like a charm. Seats could be softer,yet they do give great support . could use better/bigger speedo. Don't like the rear view mirror. Everything else is great. Can't beat it for the price in the 4x4 class. UPDATE... At 10,000 miles everything is holding up perfectly. No complaints, fit and finish is perfect. Had left rear tire go flat. It went really fast, any faster and it would of been a blowout (big construction fastener pierced sidewall). Low tire pressure light came on, no handling indication. Went around a hard rt turn and felt stability system activate. Traffic heavy and took a little to pull over. Changing tire was a breeze. Jack fit well and was very secure, it turned extremely easily and that was appreciated. NOTE: you need to use the plastic hub cover under the tire bolts or they can't tighten down. One complaint......Goodyears seem to be wearing down to fast. OEM tires usually are inferior.

My Second Patriot

I just bought a 2016 Jeep Patriot Sport to replace my 2010 Patriot Sport that I totaled in an accident (my 1st in 37 years of driving) The 2010 held up surprisingly well in the accident and I was not injured; and since I was so happy with the 2010 overall, I decided to replace it with a new Patriot. I upgraded a little, going with the automatic 6-speed transmission, but other than that and the fact that the 2016 clearly has more ground clearance than did the 2010 (which I thought had poor ground clearance) It feels about the same driving and comfort wise. The bottom line with me though is that is that I was able to get BOTH the 2010, and the 2016 for under 20k dollars. And these days, a 4WD vehicle at that price is pretty rare. If the new one is anything like the old one - which only had one minor warranty-covered repair in six years of ownership - I may wind up writing another review someday when I buy what will then be my third Patriot
