Overview & Reviews
The 2010 Jeep Patriot Sport 4x2's optional 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine can now be paired with a five-speed manual transmission, and active head restraints are standard across the lineup.
- Low base price, Jeep-lite styling, above-average off-road ability, desirable high-tech options.
- Noisy engines, power-sapping continuously variable transmission (CVT), low-quality interior materials, limited cargo capacity.

2010 freedom drive Latitude, trail rated badge - 2010 Jeep Patriot
By Heather Johnston - April 6 - 2:11 pmFirst, this is a Jeep. There are no other vehicles which can manage deep sand, snow like a Jeep. You want cheeper 4x4, get a different make. I have owned this vehicle for more than 7 years. I consistently get 21.2 miles around town. Hmmm, does that exist with any other 4x4? The gas tank is small, meaning more frequent fill ups. I hope they make it with a larger gas tank. With seats down, I can fit my 125 lb. shepherd and 75 lb. boxer in this thing along with an American Pitbull weighing about 90 lb. True Jeep enthusiasts say it is only a brand it is not really a Jeep. However, this thing handles like no other vehicle out there. The front control arms needed to be replaced. I hope Jeep improves this in the newer models. The transmission well CVT has its problems, however I still have the original. It is now 2017, my Jeep has over 100,000 miles and still going strong. Runs smooth, no squeaks, creaks, just smooth riding. I had two fords before. One an Explorer the other an Expedition both sounded like they were going to fall apart around 60,000 miles. Neither handled as well as this does in ice, snow or deep sand. Gas mileage remains consistent. I have no idea why Jeeps are rated so poorly.

Patriot Value - 2010 Jeep Patriot
By Kangrapes - September 6 - 10:00 amGreat value in a four wheel drive. Getting 26 miles per gallon on an easy commute. Very comfortable and the controls are easy to use. It is a much better build than I expected and so far rattle free. CVT takes some getting used to, especially the low speed braking. But to get the power they get out of a four cylinder the CVT works great.

Love this Jeep! - 2010 Jeep Patriot
By luvpatriot - July 9 - 11:56 amThis is the best jeep on the line in my opinion. Ive had 3 grand Cherokees in the past and like this one so much better. I was thinking about a Liberty but the price and mpg on the Patriot is so much better. This is one smooth and sweet ride!

Love my Patriot! - 2010 Jeep Patriot
By luvmypatriot - July 3 - 8:26 amThis is my fave jeep - love it much more than my previous Grand Cherokees. It has everything I want in a SUV- affordable, good gas mileage, and style.

For $$$$ you cant beat it! - 2010 Jeep Patriot
By 101proof - June 14 - 5:53 amI bought this Patriot new, it is a base model no a/c, no power anything, but I only paid 14K out the door. So for the money I could not be Happier. Great performance (for a 4cyl) even better gas milleage. It may not have the creature comforts but it comes stock with all the safety features that the top models have including the tire pressure monitor and canopy airbags. The best part is it still has a cd player with AUX input for ipod and tinted windows. So once again for the money I challenge anyone to find a better SUV. BUY AMERICAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love My Patriot - 2010 Jeep Patriot
By Lady Di - December 3 - 8:43 amI was hesitant to buy this model because of the negative reviews. I test drove the Subaru Forrester because it was so highly rated. It was an Ok ride, but it just felt like I was driving a nice car not an SUV. As soon as I got behind the wheel of this Patriot I knew it was the vehicle for me. That is one solid vehicle! Holds the rode well and stops on a dime. I wanted a vehicle that was tough, durable and will get me around in the snow. I found it. I did not get a lot of fancy options because they are not important to me. This is basic model, no frills. Its a Jeep for goodness sake! I got mine for about $21K after rebate. Not a bad price for a 4 wheel drive vehicle IMO.

Patriot is awesome! - 2010 Jeep Patriot
By CHUCK - May 29 - 10:56 amTo those interested in a fun to drive SUV, look no further. After looking at many SUVs, the Jeep Patriot was the best deal, and had the most options for the money! After test driving the automatic CVT version, I chose the 5 speed manual. I like to shift gears, but also found the engine to me more quiet. It has a very smooth, quiet ride, and the interior is very comfortable. With its SUN AND SOUND PACKAGE, you get 9 speakers that are awesome, SIRIUS, and sunroof. Heated seats,mirrors,premium stain resistant cloth, are just a few of the neat options. The negative review by EDMUNDS is simply not true. go see for yourself. The reviews from other owners also prove this SUV is loved/fun!

Repeat Owner - 2010 Jeep Patriot
By Jinx - May 28 - 1:00 amThis is my 2nd Patriot. I bought my first in 7/07 brand new. I loved the classic Cherokee body style. It is also the roomiest SUV with the best MPG at the best price. I couldnt resist buying a new one and I couldnt see myself driving anything else. I love my Patriot and as long as they keep making it I will keep buying it!

Only family car for tall families < $20K - 2010 Jeep Patriot
By fishgutz - March 14 - 8:46 amThis is the only family car you will find under $20K, gets 39 MPG highway even though rating is 25, and that fits a 63" teenager behind a 510" adult. Very impressive response from the 2.4 L and CVT. I like it. So does the wife. It will be her primary vehicle. More room and better fuel economy than our 1999 Cherokee. I would have no problem recommending this to anyone.
