2010 Patriot - You must get past the CVT transmission. Once used to that it is not a poor vehicle. Had the tranny replaced at 30K, fortunately still on warranty. Rear end slides out in 4x4 which is a little unexpected but it is a light vehicle, compromise for decent fuel economy. After two winters, the belts start to whine when warming it up in winter, a little annoying. As well, drips from the overflow of the coolant makes for a bit of mess on the driveway. Somewhat petty com[plaints to this point but I am not sure about longterm reliability. Bought it because it had not changed for a few years and you would hope that such manufacture defect would of been weeded out by then. Comfortable ride and the 4x4 is good due to the on the fly real 4 wheel drive rather than all wheel. Has always started and I have never missed an appointment due to the truck.
Overall, not bad but probably would not buy it again.
