Navigating the bustling streets of Los Angeles can be a challenge, especially when it comes to comfort and modern… amenities in a vehicle. The Jeep Patriot may not be the best option for L.A. residents who prioritize a refined driving experience, as its interior and ride quality can feel dated compared to newer models. City dwellers looking for high-tech features or better fuel economy might want to explore other small SUVs that offer a more contemporary driving experience.
However, the Patriot does hold some appeal for those interested in outdoor adventures. Its off-road capability, especially when equipped with the Freedom Drive II package, allows for a bit of exploration in the nearby mountains or along the coastline, making it a solid choice for weekend getaways. The reasonably priced Patriot could be perfect for budget-conscious buyers who don’t mind sacrificing some modern comforts. With the addition of flip-down tailgate speakers, it’s also great for beach parties or weekend barbecues. While it may not be the most sophisticated option available, its rugged charm and affordability could work well for those who see themselves venturing beyond the urban sprawl.

Our family has owned and driven jeeps since 1970 starting with the Grand Wagoneer, we love them. All have had a complete low range gearing. My previous jeep was a Cherokee bought in 1984. As I consulted to the minerals exploration industry and mining it got heavy use and the low range came in handy as it did in the previous models. I have drive manual vehicles since 1962 and was … dismayed with the current jeep transmission choices. I wanted a full manual Jeep transmission like the Cherokee had, but my choices there were limited glitzy model or a Wrangler. At my age the Patriot was the best fit for my budget and all I could get was 4x4 Sport model with five gear manual as I like crank windows and no central lock, The 4x4 manual lacks a true low range, but when you lock the four wheel in it seems to compensate a bit for this limitation as was describe by the technicians at the Jeep dealer. The anti sway feature is remarkable on muddy wash board roads and where hydroplaning is occurring. I live in western Colorado and the aforementioned features combined with the 2.4L engine is remarkable. Also, I bought the Patriot for its plane jeep look. I like to scramble old mining roads etc and the glitzy models just would not fit as I would not want to scratch and dent such a fancy vehicle. I am a large, very large man, and this vehicle is roomy front and rear for me. On the freeway gas mileage is about 30-31mpg using cruise control at 60-65mph. Lots of power to spare and shifting is smooth and easy, and the stick is well positioned.
I have encountered complaints by other owners regarding power, but when I ride with them the problem is that they are poor drivers and do not know when to shift up or down in an appropriate manner. I was raised on stick shift in San Francisco where I drove a delivery truck with 3 on the column manual shift for my father. I also spent a life time in the western states working on remote off-road projects. Jeeps, Ford and Dodge 4x4 trucks were a must, knowing how to drive a stick shift properly makes all the difference in evaluating a four wheel drive's performance. This 4x4 Patriot does well in most conditions, except for rock hopping. Dirt roads used for hunting, fishing and logging are taken at ease by this Jeep. I have watched videos of new car owners getting hung up on well graded trails like the Switzerland Trail west of Boulder CO, they're clear examples of overly cautious inept drivers, who by the way had got of the trail, which is a well graded railway track. I have driven this trail in my rear axle drive Econoline Ford and my front wheel drive VW Eurovan and not gotten hung up. This little Jeep lacks two thing of importance and that is under body shielding and a much lower first gear. My front wheel drive VW Eurovan has far superior shielding, and a much lower first gear. That said I still like the Patriot and I bought it because I enjoy driving manual shift cars. Lacking a low range this Patriot should have had a much lower first gear, I find it troubling as to why a manual shift Jeep lacks a really low first gear. Jeep is missing a their market place, it is a brand the people bought for rugged reliability and true 4x4 plus low range lugging power. People buy the Jeep name and take them off graded trails because that is what they imagine they have, all jeeps should be trail rated and tested as such. They should leave the soccer mom models for Chrysler to make and dump the flimsy plastic under body shielding, my daughter broke it in just snow going christmas tree hunting.
