Jeep Patriot 2011Change

Looked to replace my 2000 SUV, but the new selection of SUVs have been up-styled to FWD sedans. Feels like driving a station wagon. While the reviews from the company say it is trail rated, I can't imagine taking it off-road for any fun (too low to the ground and not enough room in the wheel well for larger tires due to the springs being in the way). However, it has lots of leg room in the back seating area, even when the front passenger has his seat set far back and lots of storage in the back deck. And the MPG is outstanding. I've come to terms with this vehicle being a grocery-getter and taking me back and forth to work.

This was a great vehicle in last years snow storms. Easy to drive, easy to park, no serious blind spots. Good fuel economy.

I love my Jeep Patriot! It's very secure and excellent on fuel. I would definitley like to own another after mine has been run into the ground, although I know that is a long ways away.

The highway gas milelege improved after the first year, The summer ride is good but the winter driving is great. It has great control in the snow up and down hills and on curves.

This is my daughter's car who now lives in Kuewit. I used it briefly and it is great in snow in the 4x4 mode

Drove the Jeep from Calgary and loved the experience of driving this SUV to Vancouver Island. It rode like a dream. Seats are very comfortable. I thought it was excellent on gas even though gas prices were higher in the Interior of BC. I would definitely say I felt safe driving this vechicle!

Great car! perfect for road trips, camping and visits to the ski slopes! great car for the city life without eating up your gas! Many compliments from people on the color and trim of the car!

Love this car!
It is a comfortable car, reliable it has a great look, a bit expensive on Gas but I love it I would recommand it to everyone.

Great mini suv that has been reliable as well as comfortable to drive. Hwy gas mileage is great but not as good in the city. I love Jeep and stand beside the make. They are reliable and built to last. Have only had to get routine oil changes done, nothing else,

I've been driving this car since March of this year, and I have to say it's a great ride. It could however take some notes in exterior styling from it's older brother the Cherokee, but I'm please with the drive.

My experiences so far have been:
the cloth seats are comfortable, sound system can make the front passenger door vibrate audibly from bass, gas mileage is about 10-15% worse than advertised and that's when I try to be economical with throttle input, the CVT is cool and is in place to minimize gas consumption - very smooth to the point where you don't feel gear changes though throttle response is delayed as a result of this setup, the auto-stick shift is great and I find myself using it often to engine break while applying the breaks, the 4wd is kind of a gimmick as it is only activated when the front slips though I've never checked to see if I could spin the back tires, cargo space is small for an SUV but that's what segment they're in (small SUVs), so far I have no complaints other than the door bass buzz (result of a decent sound for base system) and the gas mileage. Does much better than small fwd cars in snow and that was with all seasons on in the first winter.
