Jeep Patriot
Jeep added the Patriot to its lineup in 2007. While the compact crossover SUV shares a platform with the street-oriented Compass, it leans more into the brand's outdoorsy image with rugged styling and optional four-wheel drive. Available engines include a pair of four-cylinders: a base 2.0-liter and an upgraded 2.4-liter, which delivers improved performance with only a slight fuel economy penalty. Inside, the Patriot offers a simple and functional cabin; however, one of the chief complaints about the model is the interior's dated design and overuse of hard plastic. Some owners also report that the Patriot's ride quality and handling can feel rather truck-like at times. Additionally, its fuel efficiency and cargo space both lag behind the leaders in its segment. Buyers should also note that Jeep discontinued the Patriot after the 2017 model year.

2014 Jeep Patriot Sport FWD
I bought a base model because I didn't want gadgets. I like roll-up windows, manual transmission and regular keys so I hope you keep making a few models like the Jeep Patriot that are like this.

2014 Jeep Patriot Sport FWD
The driver seat, when pushed back to exit car, my legs get scratched badly on the slider/My previous Jeep Liberty had better windows so my arms could easily reach out. With the Patriot I must reach up too high to reach arm out, sometimes in pain. The bucket seats are not what I wanted or needed. Sometimes it is hard to get the driver's door open all the way to get my disabled legs out of the bucket seat position to be able to get out of the car. This is very difficult. I really wanted a newer version of my previous Jeep Liberty. Also, the cup holders are too close to the gear shift, making it difficult to get my drink out when gear shift is in drive position.

2014 Jeep Patriot Latitude FWD
It would be nice if the headlights came on when driving and then turned off when not driving automatically. Wish the 12 volt socket stayed on all the time and the 120 volt socket stayed on.

I love my Jeep Patriot. It's better than I ever expected, and I can't see myself never owning another Jeep! I love my new Jeep, and it's the best vehicle on the market for the price. I recommend it to everyone!

2014 Jeep Patriot Limited FWD
The Jeep Patriot is classic Jeep styling, I love it! It is the true successor to the old Jeep Cherokee. The new Jeep Cherokee is ok but it is a cross-over so I wouldn't buy one.
