For anyone living in or around Boston, MA, the Jeep Patriot presents a mixed bag of pros and cons. While its… above-average off-road capability, particularly with the Freedom Drive II package, allows for adventurous excursions into the surrounding New England wilderness, the vehicle's design and features may leave much to be desired for urban driving. The rough ride quality and older interior materials aren't well-suited for the bustling city streets and typical stop-and-go traffic. With numerous stylish and more modern SUVs available, the Patriot may feel outdated compared to its competitors that offer better comfort and tech features that many drivers find essential.
That said, its affordability could be appealing for budget-conscious families or individuals looking for a pragmatic vehicle. The optional flip-down tailgate speakers add a unique touch for tailgating at Fenway Park or enjoying outdoor gatherings. However, if a smooth ride, fuel efficiency, and modern amenities are high on your priority list, it might be wise to explore other options available in the small SUV segment that cater better to Boston's urban lifestyle.

I've only put 200 miles on it, but I love it so fa
justin, 11/01/2016
2016 Jeep Patriot
I bought mine (Altitude) with 3,500 miles on it for $18.9k. I'm very pleased thus far. It's a pretty basic suv. It reminds me of the old Cherokee Sport versions pre- 2002 - right before they started making the Liberty. Auto dimming mirrors (actually performs very well, maybe the best dimming mirror I have ever driven with); Cruise Control; AC; Fog Lights; Auto Headlights; remote … start; bluetooth (can sync my music pretty decent sound); touch free phone (works really well, and I usually never use touch free phone system because I usually hate it, but this works very well, no yelling needed); steering-wheel buttons; voice command; sirius; power windows/mirrors; heated seats; heated mirrors. Also, I'm not sure what this feature is called, but I'm pretty sure its a variable transmission - meaning that I can drive it in automatic, or I can flick the shifter and it then turns to a manual 6speed transmission. I think thats very cool and enjoy it. Scared me the first time as I had no idea I had transferred it to manual and couldn't make it up a hill. I thought I bought a lemon before I realized I had engaged the manual transmission, lol. I mention this also because i have read several reviews where people say that sometimes their Patriot won't go over 40mph because of "overheating." They probably engaged the manual transmission without realizing it and don't realize they're driving their car in 1st gear. It's only a 4 cylinder engine, but it gets up to 80mph in a hurry. It's fine. I've read some reviews that criticize the weak pickup of the engine, I'm not sure these people understand its a 4 cylinder carrying an SUV body, it's not an V8 engine, lol. Nonetheless, the engine is fine (though I haven't had it packed full of stuff, nor have i towed anything with it). The ride is smooth, quiet, and comfortable. I'm 6'3'' 200lbs. Plenty of leg room. Also, It is the only car, other Jeeps included, that my head or hair does not touch the roof. I do not have to slouch. That's awesome if you're a tall person. Gas milage is fine. I drove 160 miles (all highway) on a half a tank, so that's over 300 miles on a full tank. I believe it holds 13 gallons and costs somewhere around $30 to fill. The windshield is gigantic. You have a lot of windshield vision as well as passenger front and back window vision. Driver side rear window vision is spotty. Just be careful switching lanes. I love this Jeep. It's basic, yet it also has enough features to make it a very enjoyable experience.
