Overview & Reviews
The 2007 Jeep Patriot is a new compact SUV.
- Quiet on road, good ride and handling balance, above-average off-road ability, bargain pricing.
- Performance-sapping CVT is the only automatic transmission available, some cheap interior components, subpar cargo capacity.

Its okay - 2007 Jeep Patriot
By cnccot - December 16 - 12:30 amIm 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 pmI 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.

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

MPG issues - 2007 Jeep Patriot
By MPG Issues - April 23 - 11:16 pmBought this Jeep used with 30,000. Loved it when I first got it with the Boston stereo and the ESP and everything. I had to replace the Electronic Throttle control soon as I pulled in the drive way (warranty) 2 weeks later the driver strut (warranty) but now that I have 50,000 miles I have been getting gas mileage ranging 18-19 when I was getting 24 average. Tried replacing spark plugs, air filter and no change. Not happy, I could have a Jeep Grand Cherokee for this mileage. Also, fast acceleration is not an option without the car having to think of getting out of its own way first.
