Patriotic about Patriot - 2010 Jeep Patriot
By bruncrazy1 - October 8 - 12:46 pmI just bought this vehicle with the 2.0 4 Cyl. and so my mileage is 32-34 highway, a drastic improvement from my 2002 Ford E150 Conversion van. Great headroom and interior space plus high safety marks made my decision between a Acion, Chevy HHR, Chrysler PT Cruiser and Jepp Compass. A real blast to drive and very comfy. I was impressed with features with a cheaper price than the Chevy HHR and a ton mor room, including headroom. I folded down the seats and carried two end tables, two 25" t.v. sets, and a small dresser.Good cargo space with seats down. Sun roof and Sirius/XM radio add to joy and the nine speaker system is plenty loud and clear.Lot of little extras make this the winner for me.

The best bang for you buck! - 2010 Jeep Patriot
By sME - April 10 - 1:06 amThis is the best vehicle Ive ever owned. Ive owned cars, suvs and this really fits me perfectly at 6. I cant believe Edmunds gave it bad reviews. There is no engine noise, rides smoothly, extremely comfortable. The best your money will buy. I cant stress enough to go drive one and listen to consumer reviews instead of professional reviews. They dont get the budget and are constantly driving all types of vehicles: expensive ones too. They say its all relative - well it is. For the money, this is an amazing vehicle. Dont listen to me, drive one. Im a real consumer. I just got my sport 4x4 with sun and sound package and all the accessories. You will truly love it - go American!

Latitude with Attitude - 2010 Jeep Patriot
By Patriot Lover - December 6 - 2:00 amI traded a 2009 Sentra SR on this great Jeep. So far, I have been very pleased. It feels big and safe, It is quiet and smooth, the engine is a tad noisy when cold, but when up to operating temperature, its fine. This is my first Jeep and the quality of the interior, paint, and fit/finish is FAR better than the Sentra. The CVT is much better too, the Sentra moaned. I love the ride, ride height, adjustable seat, interior color and wheels. It is a very good-looking vehicle. I think of it more as a wagon than an SUV, MPG was 26 on last trip. I would hope it gets better as the motor breaks in. I enjoy the heated seats, Satellite radio, and Remote start! I hope to have this one a long time!

Excellent value - 2010 Jeep Patriot
By oomnopah - July 14 - 8:13 amI have the Sport 2.0 L with the 5 speed manual and have had great results. The editors of all the car magazines dont like this car, but they compare it to cars that cost $15K more. This is an excellent working persons car, great mileage in town, and enough engine for highway cruising. In 4th gear it climbs long hills at 55 without any problem. My insurance rate went down by $20 a month because of this cars great safety features. And if youre a big guy like me, it has a lot of room. One caveat, I got the manual transmission because Chrysler seems to have a hard time making a decent automatic transmission, but I like the feel of the manual. One practical vehicle.

Great American Value - 2010 Jeep Patriot
By AK - June 7 - 1:43 pmI purchased an optic green sport model with 4x4 and FDI.Just broke first 1000 miles.I love a new updated interior with illuminated cup holders,more comfortable headrests and round chrome accent air vents.Our adventure didnt start the way I expected from a brand new vehicle.I had to wait 10 days for a dealership to fix an A/C line that was leaking freon that had to be ordered from factory in Detroit.Other than that,this is a great vehicle for its price.I love autostick option, very handy when driving on mountain roads.There is not that much of a road noise as described by editors.Turning radius is great so as maneuvering.Even though the interior is all plastic but its pretty durable.

first new car - 2010 Jeep Patriot
By kristy - August 19 - 3:33 amWent from Avalanche to Patriot, nice, comfortable, caught my eye once I realized I wanted some toys over size. It is easy to drive, awesome stereo, way better than expected. A little road noisy accelerating, but once to speed, quiets down to normal. Turning radius is pretty good, havent tried everything yet. Very happy with my choice, as I was shopping for a Liberty. Definitely worth considering for new family, not intended for real tall people however, there is sufficient head room

Worth Every Penny - 2010 Jeep Patriot
By the_jeep_now - June 10 - 8:46 amI bought my Patriot new. It came w/ CVT which takes some time to get used to, but once you manage it, its a great feature. I liked the selection of trims. You can get bone stock w/ no AC to a fully loaded Limited. I picked a package that fit my needs which includes power locks, mirrors, windows, AC and cruise control. Folding rear and passenger seats provide tons of space to carry oversized items. It has best fuel economy in its class. Depending on the trim you choose, you can get 30+ mpg hwy. Great vehicle for any outdoor adventures! However, it is known for weak/cheap front suspension components which go bad at around 40k+ miles and water leaks. For more info check out jeeppatriot forum.

Greatest little SUV thatll save your life - 2010 Jeep Patriot
By desi_o - May 13 - 7:11 amBeautiful modern design in & out but quality of materials very cheap & features very basic, the bumpers cant take a hit for nothing. As a teen I shoved multiple friends in this car & took many road trips racking up 65k miles in 2 yrs still it performed amazingly, the seats are pretty comfortable especially the back seats & it has an amazing standard sound system! I ultimately had a tire blowout, due to negligence, at 60mph on a slippery, empty highway & crashed 3 times very hard totaling my baby but noone in the car even had whiplash due to the active head-restraints that activate during a crash. Besides a rust problem with the driver door & trunk door hinge this car was a great first!

"Crash Tested" Patriot - 2010 Jeep Patriot
By VA-Nurese - April 30 - 3:40 amI bought a new Jeep Patriot in June on 2009. After owing it for only 6 months I was involved in a head on collision with another lager SUV at a combined speed of over 100 mph. My boyfriend and I walked away from the accident with only mild injuries compared to the severity of the accident. My Jeep was totaled, but I think that it preformed remarkably well under the conditions. The EMTs at the crash and my doctor in the ER both said that it was amazing that we were not hurt worse or dead. When all was said and done I purchased another Jeep Patriot to replace my 09 as I felt very safe in this car after our accident. I would recommend the Jeep Patriot to anyone.
