Had the liberty but they stop making it, so we bought the Patriot. At first didn't think I would like it but the 2.4L engine is really a great performer. The car has a solid ride and we like the window configuration that gives you an all around view. The interesting thing is that people who own the car give it a great review, but the professionals who review it give it a thumb down. The traction control really gives it a hugging the road drive, this is a great car for the money, I bought it because I didn't want car payments and bought it in cash. Car has everything I need, leather, heated seats, sun roof, remote start and electric driver seat.

Great vehicle for money! It's all relative

I was looking for a no nonsense, good economy, versatile vehicle with a lower repair cost down the road and less "systems" to break. I got just what I was shopping for. For the money, this vehicle is a great bargain! I traded in my 2006 Cadillac and I could not be more pleased. I prepared myself for a huge sacrifice in comfort and I just have not experienced it. It is lighter of course, but I am getting almost 15 miles to the gallon more with the jeep. Surprisingly enough, the jeep is as quite at high speeds as the caddy was, that shocked me. Another thing I really like about the patriot is the large front windshield. It is forward and extremely large for the size of the vehicle. Great visibility all around. I read reviews and heard that there was a problem in the past with some kind of water leak. I have not experienced that with my vehicle. I am happy with my purchase and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to my friends and family.

I have the very base Patriot model from 2016 with manual transmission, manual windows and manual locks. Conversely, it has air conditioning (much needed this summer), bluetooth technology and Sirius XM radio. I have received several compliments from others about the appearance of my new SUV and have been very impressed with its performance thus far. I was able to get a fair price from a dealer that is willing to go the "extra mile" for customer satisfaction. I am a satisfied customer! I have been driving it daily since I bought it in mid-July and have not encountered any of the problems I read about on the web. I also like the extra space in the vehicle by its intentional design. I am very appreciative there is a manufacturer still willing to make an affordable 5 speed manual transmission for an SUV. Well done.

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.

Not a Long Road Trip Vehicle

Drove this over 1,200 miles inside 3 days, mostly on the interstate. The base model has some of the worst seats I've ever experienced in any vehicle. If your waist is anything over 28" you'll be squirming to get out in two hours. There are two metal bars on the outer-side of the seat cushion that can be felt under about 1/2" of foam... very uncomfortable. The wind noise is incredible; turn the radio off and that's all you'll hear. And the smallish tank means you'll be hitting the gas station in around 300 miles... our low-fuel light went on at 271 miles from a full tank, averaging 70 MPH on the highway. If this is your terrain vehicle or around the town SUV then you'll be fine. If you plan a long road trip in this PLEASE do yourself a favor and spend more time in it then the typical 'round the block test drive from the dealership.
