Overview & Reviews
The 2009 Jeep Patriot receives an available uconnect multimedia integration system, additional sound insulation, a spruced-up dash layout and a new center console and door panel design with padded armrests.
- Low base price, Jeep-lite styling, decent off-road ability.
- CVT saps power and produces tiresome engine drone, lackluster interior materials, meager cargo capacity.

Im a Jeep fan now - 2009 Jeep Patriot
By will4everownajeep - December 4 - 10:00 amI went to purchase a 2008 use Jeep Pat (drove 2 and a half hours because I found a good deal through a dealership online) but got there only to find out they had sold it 10 minutes before I got there. Ended up buying the 2009 Pat, it little bit more than I was wanting to spend but Im so glad I did. The interior is much nicer on the 2009. The great gas mileage and size were what attracted me to the Patriot. I wanted a small SUV with 4 wheel drive that wasnt a gas sucker. My whole family is GMC all the way, always has been, but I believe I will never own anything but a Jeep again. I love my Patriot!

Patriot Driving A Patriot - 2009 Jeep Patriot
By Patriot in a Patriot - September 3 - 3:30 pmThe Patriot is a more than welcome addition to the family. Coming from a Mitsubishi Ralliart Lancer it was different getting used the increase in size. I like how sturdy the Patriot feels as compared to its competitors. You really get the feeling that you are on the road. It does not have a lot of pick up and go, but you will up to cruise speed before you know it. I feel really comfortable driving it as the drivers seat can go all the way back and really low. The second my wife goes to drive it she will bring the seat up raise the level so she can see over the hood. The economy so far, seems to be fair for its size. The stock radio has a ton of features, it can play DVDs that have MP3s.

Great so far - 2009 Jeep Patriot
By Greg - September 1 - 12:03 amHad it since it for about 9 months now and so far love it, got it with sunroof and speed control. Is very fun to drive and very stable. I read some of the other reviews and agree with some but some others do not agree. The gas tank is too small (I agree), Roomy is yes, there is a delay when you put in gear before it engages. It being to low to the ground, No, it is prefect. The sounds system is great. Have not really noticed the seat adjustment be to far in or out. The 17" wheels have very good traction even with a 2 wheel drive.

Most dependable. - 2009 Jeep Patriot
By irieco - June 4 - 12:10 pmVery dependable. Havent had a single thing go wrong in two years. No wonder it came with a lifetime power-train warranty. I paid way less than the sticker price so its a super value.

Very Happy so far - 2009 Jeep Patriot
By Jean - March 22 - 8:40 pmI have been buying Toyotas for many years now. This is my first American car. I have test drove a few other SUV before buying this jeep. I tested the Volkswagen Tiguan, Suzuki Grand Vitara, Mitsubishi Outlander and the Suburu Forester. All theses SUV have great 4x4s. The Honda element and CRV have weak 4x4 system and the RAV4 is too narrow inside for my big stature. So it came down to the Outlander and the Jeep. Well it turn out that the Outlander and the Patriot have the same CVT transmission and motor (2.4l)called the "World Motor" design by Chrysler/Mitsubishi and Hyundai. I decided on the Jeep because handle bumps a little better I tough than the Outlander. More quiet inside too.

Love This Car - Bought 2! - 2009 Jeep Patriot
By Dave - November 25 - 2:10 amBought the first one between snowstorms - was very impressed with the combination of 4WD, traction and stability control. Traded the old Wrangler for the second Patriot because we liked the first Patriot so much we were fighting over who got to drive it. Both have sunroofs, a great sound system, and 17inch Wrangler tires with alloy wheels. The bells and whistles are well worth it. The autoshift works fine for fast acceleration, but it takes a little to get used to. Put it into 6th for flat highway driving and get better gas mileage. We especially like the lower road clearance - better stability and plenty high enough if you dont go off- road, and its still higher than a car

My new JEEP Patriot - 2009 Jeep Patriot
By MissMolly - September 10 - 1:06 pmSo far I really like my Patriot. I traded in a 1998 Mercury Mountaineer in the cash for clunkers program and got $8000 off with the additional $3,500 off from Jeep which was a great deal. Its taken some getting used to losing lots of the extras that my Mountaineer had that this car doesnt have such as automatic lights on/off and power seats, etc. but over all it is a great little SUV. It does get about 21 MPG, however it has a very small gas tank. I drive about 300 miles or more per week, so I am at the gas station at least every four days and that is getting old. Also, if you are used to a V8 or a V6, use caution for the first month or so when pulling out in traffic.

2009 Patriot 4x4 - 2009 Jeep Patriot
By frogman - August 29 - 11:43 amI bought my Patriot Sport 2 months ago and am very pleased with the vehicle. I get about 28 to 29 MPG on the highway and average 25 overall. I waited until the 2009s were available before purchasing since I was hoping Jeep would change the interior. I am so happy that I did - the interior dash is so much more refined than the 07-08! I did buy the manual because I like manuals, wanted the better mileage, better pickup and lower cost. Im glad I did. I never did drive the CV automatic. The vehicle is amazing in the snow without even locking in the 4x4 (I live in Wisconsin). It is even nicer getting around town in the snow than my 1996 Grand Cherokee was. Overall this is a great Jeep.
