Fantastic Car! - 2007 Jeep Patriot
By MI driver - November 22 - 11:40 pmI purchased my Patriot Sport 5 days ago and in that time have tested it in brutal cold, icy roads, and blizzard conditions, as well as a 400 mile road trip. This is the best-handling vehicle Ive ever owned (I traded in an Envoy to get this car). It holds the road remarkably well, even on icy roads, the ESF is fantastic, 4X4 is great, interior is comfortable, MP3 jack is a nice touch. The cargo area is sufficient, safety features are great. I love this car!

Great Bang For Your Bank - 2007 Jeep Patriot
By JeepChicago - November 10 - 10:50 amAll in all a great vehicle. Bought in July 07. I dont know what some people expect for under $25k these days but this is as good as youre going to find. You are going to buy this car for the following reasons: 1 - best mpg for non-hybird suv 2 - great style for a compact suv 3 - made in USA FYI - There is a "break in" period for the CVT transmision. Maybe 2000 miles before the acceleration becomes smooth.

Price + Utility = awesome - 2007 Jeep Patriot
By JohnWayne - July 19 - 4:36 pmWe were originally looking at an "extended sedan" Malibu Maxx. This has almost identical interior space numbers, almost identical MPG numbers, plus two numbers that put the Jeep on top: 4x4. For pennies more than the "extended sedan", we got a vehicle capable of taking on Minnesota winters. Went all out and got the Freedom Drive II, loaded with every option available. We are amazed by this vehicle and couldnt be happier with it. Never would have considered this vehicle until the Unlimited warranty came out; the peace of mind that it comes with is another solid selling point. We own a Ford truck, Chevy car, and Jeep, and this is the most-capable-for-the-money vehicle that I have ever seen!

Best transportation - 2007 Jeep Patriot
By thepatriot23 - May 16 - 2:48 amThis SUV is beast! This is my 4th and favorite vehicle. I chose the older 2007 model because I like the rectangular shape of the interior better then the circular junk in the new models and it has that classic look. Mine came with leather seats, heated seats, aftermarket radio, sun/moon roof, nice rims, and dark tint. What more do you need? This car is just fun to drive. The ride quality is very smooth and can compensate for any crappy roads. Its nice to have that little extra clearance to go up a steep area which you cant do in a car without scratching the front end. Over all this car is just great and the best transportation to beat around in.

Great first car - 2007 Jeep Patriot
By matt142 - March 11 - 7:28 amMy patriot was my first car, buying it after graduating college. I bought it after the car was only on the market for a few months. I love the look of it, reminds me of the old Cherokee, which I hope they bring back. It gets great gas mileage on the highway and around town. Ive taken my Patriot from the deserts of Arizona to the snow of the midwest to the beaches and it has never let me down. With 90K on it, I have had no major problems, excluding replacing the ball joints, but that could be due to my spirited driving.

Happy so far! - 2007 Jeep Patriot
By Steve - February 22 - 6:03 amI couldnt be happier with my purchase as of today. I was looking for a rig that was fuel efficient, as new as possible, well priced, and could handle a bit of off road adventure as I love to hike and fish. This one fit the bill perfectly! I have taken it down some rather rugged, muddy trails with no complaints. Roomier than others in the category and a comfortable ride. CVT can be noisy at first, but it is responsible for amazing milege for a 4x4 jeep, so I got used to it quick.

By bombshellfromhell - February 18 - 5:10 amThis is my first brand new car purchase. We checked out a lot of SUVs and for the price you couldnt beat the Jeep Patriot.

Jeep Patriot - 2007 Jeep Patriot
By Rynestone - November 15 - 2:33 amThe Patriot handles much better than I expected. The stability control works great on hard corning. Road noise can be heard in the cabin, but its not too bad. Stereo system sounds great.

She is what she is... - 2007 Jeep Patriot
By JimCno - November 7 - 9:13 pmI was looking for a car that I could strap a canoe to the top and go down some God awful roads to get to some rivers to fish. At the same time it needed to have a nice ride as we would be using it for long trips. The Patriot fits that bill perfectly! Ive had her down back roads, dirt roads, rock roads and off road. Shes got the ground clearance to handle all of them. She handles well on highways and back roads. Shes got ample cargo space. She doesnt have the greatest power or gas mileage but I have the automatic CVT. Im sure the manual transmission would improve both. It would be hard to beat her versatility. AND shes made in the good old USA!

Snow - 2007 Jeep Patriot
By j-tripp - November 4 - 11:00 amI went form all cars to the Partiot 4WD, so the switch was major for me. (traded in an Eclipse) Took no time to get use to driving someting bigger. The ride is very nice, handles bumpy raods with ease. Almost feels car like. Everything is easy to reach even if your short, and I am 52". I dont feel like I am sitting on the wheel. I can still reach everything without pulling forward. The room in the back seat is awesome! My brother in law is 6 he said it is very comfortable and easy to get in and out of. I decided on the Partoit after shopping for a car. I am very glad I went this route. The safty features also swayed me to it. Its nice having my own 4 wheel drive.
