  Happy so far! - 2007 Jeep Patriot
  By Steve - February 22 - 6:03 am

  I couldnt be happier with my purchase as of today. I was looking for a rig that was fuel efficient, as new as possible, well priced, and could handle a bit of off road adventure as I love to hike and fish. This one fit the bill perfectly! I have taken it down some rather rugged, muddy trails with no complaints. Roomier than others in the category and a comfortable ride. CVT can be noisy at first, but it is responsible for amazing milege for a 4x4 jeep, so I got used to it quick.

  This is my first brand new car purchase. We checked out a lot of SUVs and for the price you couldnt beat the Jeep Patriot.

  Its okay - 2007 Jeep Patriot
  By cnccot - December 16 - 12:30 am

  Im learning to live with it but been hard to leave a fully loaded Suburban. I wanted to save gas money and I have certainly done that but the loss of power and luxury has been a hard one to swallow. Nice when it only cost me $30 to fill up and Im getting 26-28 miles to the gallon

  30mpg SUV!!!!!!! - 2007 Jeep Patriot
  By jas - November 29 - 11:33 pm

  I love it. I have had my Patriot for over a year now. Almost 40k on it. Original brakes w/ lots of life left. I have the manual tranny. Did not like the cvt-the engine screams uphills. The manual is easy to control and for a 4 cylinder has plenty of paower. I haul a trailer often w/ a tractor or 4 wheeler and live in the mountains of western md. I cant believe it gets 25mpgs average. Almost always 29mpg on trips!!!! Like the other review said, the seats could be a lttle more beefy.

  The Patriot handles much better than I expected. The stability control works great on hard corning. Road noise can be heard in the cabin, but its not too bad. Stereo system sounds great.

  She is what she is... - 2007 Jeep Patriot
  By JimCno - November 7 - 9:13 pm

  I was looking for a car that I could strap a canoe to the top and go down some God awful roads to get to some rivers to fish. At the same time it needed to have a nice ride as we would be using it for long trips. The Patriot fits that bill perfectly! Ive had her down back roads, dirt roads, rock roads and off road. Shes got the ground clearance to handle all of them. She handles well on highways and back roads. Shes got ample cargo space. She doesnt have the greatest power or gas mileage but I have the automatic CVT. Im sure the manual transmission would improve both. It would be hard to beat her versatility. AND shes made in the good old USA!

  Snow - 2007 Jeep Patriot
  By j-tripp - November 4 - 11:00 am

  I went form all cars to the Partiot 4WD, so the switch was major for me. (traded in an Eclipse) Took no time to get use to driving someting bigger. The ride is very nice, handles bumpy raods with ease. Almost feels car like. Everything is easy to reach even if your short, and I am 52". I dont feel like I am sitting on the wheel. I can still reach everything without pulling forward. The room in the back seat is awesome! My brother in law is 6 he said it is very comfortable and easy to get in and out of. I decided on the Partoit after shopping for a car. I am very glad I went this route. The safty features also swayed me to it. Its nice having my own 4 wheel drive.

  way to go jeep - 2007 Jeep Patriot
  By sammy s 426 - July 23 - 4:40 pm

  In just the first two years Ive owned this wonderful Jeep Ive had to replace two wheel bearings, both front air sensors the radio and the gas tank started separating from the body of the truck. All I do is drive it to and from work approximately 15 road miles each way. To me I wouldnt recommend this vehicle to anyone but some one who likes to work on cars.

  Not a bad little SUV - 2007 Jeep Patriot
  By Kyle - June 15 - 8:36 pm

  Overall, this Jeep is a great vehicle. Its pretty comfortable, handles well on the road and has several usefull features available. I have been thoroughly pleased with this vehicle and would recommend it to anyone looking to buy a compact SUV. The CVT (transmission) takes some getting used to, but once you get used to it, youll find its a nice transmission. The gas mileage is really good, which is nice in this age of high priced gas. I would recommend to anyone who travels or camps a lot, to get the complete roof rack and tow package since cargo space inside is limited. My only major complaint is the head rests on the front seats... not very comfortable. Im going to replace mine.
