  Not what everyone else said - 2007 Jeep Patriot
  By crashgordon - December 2 - 1:07 am

  After reading several reviews by other owners Im reassured about my purchase decision. I bought my 2007 Patriot new in September 2007, soon after the lifetime warranty was offered. I opted for a manual transmission because I wanted the better gas mileage and was unsure about the CVTs. I wanted to wait until the CVTs had been in service for a few years before I bought one. Also, I was unimpressed with the CVT when I test drove one. With 65,000 miles I have had two warranty issues - the shift boot split and the switch on the cruise control needed replaced. NO other issues. I also bought a 100,000 mile service contract for the car, but have never used it. I have had no complaints.

  Not good: Interior finish. Reworks and mold flaws can be found in plastic parts. Ceiling or door noise during vibe roads. Noisy front seats. Good: Fuel economy. Suspension comfort. Exterior Jeep look.

  Happy Camper - 2007 Jeep Patriot
  By Deb - August 25 - 1:56 am

  Purchased this Patriot in December 2007 after owning a Liberty for 4 years. Love the looks of the vehicle, spaciousness inside, and the gas mileage. Gas mileage is much better than what we were getting with our Liberty. Gets around in the snow fine without using the 4-wheel drive. Great vehicle for the price.

  20,000 Mile Update - 2007 Jeep Patriot
  By Todd - June 16 - 11:03 am

  I am approaching 20k on my Patriot. So far I have averaged 23 mpg and have had no problems whatsoever (oil changes and tire rotations only). This has been a great vehicle so far. The Patriot could use more power, however it isnt as sluggish as some reviews make it out to be. Many fail to mention that you actually need to learn how to drive the CVT transmission. Honestly, I disliked the vehicle the first time I test drove it.

  High cabin noise - 2007 Jeep Patriot
  By Dissatisfied - April 18 - 12:53 pm

  I purchased this vehicle two weeks ago. I was drawn to it by the exterior design. The price also seemed like a bargain. I went on a long trip this weekend and I noticed that the cabin noise was high at 60-65 miles/hr. The vehicle has poor insulation from road noise. I can hear the sound of my tires on the pavement. It also drowns out the the stereo system and ones conversation. Dont try using your cell phone either. You wont hear a thing. Also, a high RPM at speeds of 65 miles adds to the noise. The high cabin noise is such a major nuisance that I cant see myself driving it for another month. On Monday, I am going back to the dealership for a trade, or better yet go with another make.

  Great SUV - 2007 Jeep Patriot
  By Samster3 - December 25 - 12:16 am

  I purchased my Jeep Patriot a month ago and absolutely love it. This is an ideal SUV for someone who wants it to look great, get solid gas mileage and be able to lug stuff around town or on trips. I would recommend the Patriot to anyone, in fact, my in-laws are looking at one this week!

  2007 Jeep Patriot 100 mile trip daily - 2007 Jeep Patriot
  By bmillsxt6 - June 26 - 6:06 pm

  I purchased an 07 Patriot a couple of months back. I do like the fuel economy! getting around 29mpg with 89 octane 2.4 litre engine, 5speed, 2wd. I am impressed with what I got for the money so far, The surf blue clear coat paint is beautiful! and I like the convenience of the vinyl interior. This is the 5th Jeep vehicle I have owned and although its not the toughest off roader it suits 100 mile daily highway trips just fine. The center console is kinda awkward though, the armrest doesnt seem to meet up with your elbow just right and the cup holder is on the floor board pretty much. Other than that it is a blast to drive and mine has no power options, no cruise no fancy things period

  Very Happy - 2007 Jeep Patriot
  By ksandlin - March 20 - 3:03 pm

  Tested the 2.0L which was totally under- powered - 2.4L is a must. Leather interior, nice instrument cluster, sunroof, and Sirius give a luxurious feel to a very affordable SUV (dark interior with silver metallic accents). Mileage is averaging 22-24, though small tank is a little annoying. Lifetime powertrain warranty is a winner. Fun to drive!
