Jeep Patriot 2007Change

I loved the Patriot and had a 4x4 North FD1 version.
Interior was very plain - lots of hard (but washable) plastic everywhere. Seats are cloth and repel stains well.
The Automatic FD1 in 2007 had excellent capability at clamping brakes on slipping wheels and gaining traction, as it shared a lot of programming with its' off-road cousin the FDII.
I drive this in sand,mud, and deep snow, and it was amazing - but not a true off-road vehicle: only 8.5" ground clearance across the entire bottom.
The car is function-over-comfort. Very capable but not that comfortable, Take yours for a test drive.
Unfortunately, they don't hold their value, and needs lots of maintanance. In 145k kms, I had to replace 5 front lower control arms, rear link ends, and had rust eating the top of the rear wheel well.

All in one jeep! amazing for the winter months & a great summer vehicle. In love with the speakers that fold down that are built into the trunk!

amazing versatility, with the front seat fold-flat option, can easily carry 8' lumber, with the roof carrier we bought housing most of our tools. Great gas mileage, too, less than 9.2/100 after 5 years. Though it's not a performance vehicle, it has enough passing power. The cone-type transmission along with the 4 wheel drive, we've never been stuck, even driving during the snowy months in Ontario. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone.

The Patriot offers outstanding fuel economy. With this vehicle you cam also opt for 4X4 and in Canada that's a very good option to have. I like to think the exterior of this Jeep has a lot of similarities with the 90's style Cherokee, it has a lot of the square hard angles in the styling. All in all this jeep offers the best of both worlds City functionality and country side off road fun.
