  Worth it! - 2010 Jeep Patriot
  By MC - January 23 - 12:43 am

  I bought a silver Latitude Edition with CVT. Came with Sun and Sound group, Alloys with Firestone tires, foglights, heated seats, and touch screen multimedia display. The SUV gets good mpg, excellent ride/handling, extremely cold A/C, and has enough cargo space for vacations. Overall, this is a quality, well priced vehicle that you should consider when in the market for an SUV.

  Practical and fun jeep - 2010 Jeep Patriot
  By Andy - November 27 - 7:36 am

  This is a great jeep product. I have manual transmission, 4X4 FDI drive model. It drives great, engine is very responsive (manual transmission), 4X4 is great just like i would expect from jeep. Hwy fuel economy is 29-30 and in town 23-25, of course it will be different for automatic. freedom drive I an Awd/4wd drive system which detects traction loss under normal driving conditions and transfers torque to where it is needed and 4wd system is 50-50 system for light offroading , if you are a serious off-roader then consider FDII or even better wrangler.

  Sorry I purchased a Patriot - 2010 Jeep Patriot
  By Amber - November 18 - 5:36 am

  I decided to purchase the car because of the style and Jeep name. I received a 3K rebate and was so happy. I had ignored the first Edmunds review re: cheap interior. Car drove fine first few days when I noticed I was low on gas. This continued where I was filling up twice weekly and barely getting 20mpg. My tank would only hold 10 gallons. No one believes this and now I have to go to the dealer to check this out. After reading another review, I now believe this is a malfunctioning fuel gauge. After my purchase I see that Edmunds has updated with a more scathing review of the Patriot. I wish I had read that one prior to purchase. Buyers remorse? You betcha!

  Yes! - 2010 Jeep Patriot
  By MountainWoman - October 24 - 9:16 am

  This baby hugs the curves well on my mountain highway, with a little boost from the CVT on steep side roads. Its quiet and comfortable; the heater clears all the windows well, and air circulation keeps it all fresh. Theres plenty of room (and little nooks) to stash gear, tools, shopping bags. My neighbors all complimented the appearance, too!

  Far better than expected - 2010 Jeep Patriot
  By Bryan - May 21 - 3:34 am

  The 2010 model has less sound deadening than later models, but more than earlier models. I put a lot of miles on a car so it doesnt have much resale value when Im done with it. After wearing out my fourth Audi, I decided to buy an inexpensive commuter car instead. I didnt want the look of an economy car. Had to have 4WD, and Ive always preferred a car with a manual transmission. A cute ute seemed like a good fit, but only Jeep had the combo of a manly disguise, stick shift and reasonable price. Being the most American of all cars you can buy hit me right as well. My Patriot has 200,000 miles on it today. In that time Ive spent less than $500 on repairs, and can burn regular gas at 28 MPG. It cost just under $25,000 with the upgrades I ordered, and retains 30% of the original value. love the way an Audi goes down the road, but numbers like this are sure a relief from what I was accustomed to. It feels like its just getting broken in.

  I Love my Jeep Patriot! - 2010 Jeep Patriot
  By jmichaels531 - June 9 - 2:33 am

  The Jeep Patriot is by far the best automobile purchase I have ever made. For the price, I am getting much more than I paid for the vehicle. The seats are very comfortable; I love the chrome details on the dash and other interior components; the stereo system is top notch, and, contrary to the model review, the engine is quiet and hums along at a steady pace, giving me an unheard of 30 mpg. I was not looking for a large SUV - I wanted better mileage than it would offer - so I am pleased with the cargo space and especially appreciate the rear 60/40 seat split for carting around furniture, snowboards, bikes, and even my Dalmatian.
