  A Fun SUV - 2007 Jeep Patriot
  By william Ward - March 31 - 1:40 pm

  We have been to the Colorado mountains to 11,000 feet elevations from Missouri at 800 feet. We got up to 30.3 MPG across Kansas, a lot of 28.8 with a very loaded car. The noise level was quiet enough to play the radio and talk with out being loud. Seats were very comfortable for us, I even have a bad back. We go off road every year with National Forest maps with every jeep we have had for 15 years, this Patriot did well also, but not as well as our Grand Cherokee. Around town we get 24.8 to 30 MPG and enjoy it. The CVT transmission took some getting use to to get better gas mileage. The Wrangler tires are wearing out at 30,000 miles even though I keep them at 40 PSI. New tires to be soon

  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!

  I love my Patriot. I actually traded a Liberty for the Patriot. It is nice on long road trips and great on gas.

  Patriot....as "North" American as you get - 2007 Jeep Patriot
  By GlfP - December 31 - 12:10 am

  Just purchased the Patriot, and already am in love. Roomy interior, even for my 63" husband. Dogs love the fold down back seats, and its an exceptional grocery getter. It feels bigger than the Compass, even though its essentially the same car. Stability feels good, good turning radius, though the instrument cluster is a little challenging. There is quite a bit of noise at higher speeds, though not enough to prevent one from having coversation, talking on cell, or listening to radio.

  It was trusty... - 2007 Jeep Patriot
  By joe_e - September 15 - 2:12 pm

  Drove a 2007 AWD model for 5 years. Note: at no point in time is the machine EVER 4x4. Even when you flip that little switch up, it never goes into a true 4x4. Got it as a daily driver, as my 99 Cherokee was a bit heavy on gas usage. When you buy this vehicle, youre getting exactly what you pay for. The CVT is one of the most worthless inventions for automobiles, mileage notwithstanding. Leave it for ATVs and snowmobiles. It worked well in Wisconsin snow with the AWD, but still was no more than an AWD car, not a Jeep by any stretch of the imagination. It began to be a bit much. Caught fire on some grass, burned the entire machine into a skeleton of itself. Not. A. Jeep.

  Better than expected - 2007 Jeep Patriot
  By miltyo - July 4 - 10:30 am

  There were trepidations about the CVT automatic but they werent justified. The car runs very smoothly. I came to the Patriot from a Grand Cherokee so I was prepared for a letdown that never ocurred. Gas mileage is near 23mpg. With this fuel economy the small capacity (13.5) tank is no issue. The amenities are good, and the VIC is better than on my Grand Cherokee. I have just a 1000 miles on this baby and it keeps surprising me in the most pleasant ways.

  Better than some at high price - 2007 Jeep Patriot
  By JeepRunner - December 14 - 7:36 pm

  After researching the price compared to the amenities on all SUVs this size, I have found this jeep to be great. With proper maintenance, the jeep has never given me any trouble and works great when having to take it offroad. After owning it for over 2 years the only repair needed was the speakers which were on recall and I brought it in before the speakers go out. I bought the manual transmission due to the troubles still with the CVT transmissions and have no problems and getting around 32mpg. This vehicle goes long distances and goes offroad alot. I love this vehicle.
