  • Classic Jeep looks - 2016 Jeep Patriot
    By -

    2016 Jeep Patriot Sport 4dr SUV 4WD (2.4L 4cyl 5Manual) with Power Value Group and air conditioning.The Patriot feels solid and well built. I have no problem reaching freeway speeds or traveling over the mountain passes in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. It has very comfortable front seating with excellent head and leg room. I received a great price on this smaller SUV. The Jeep Patriot is the best value for your money in this segment of the SUV market. Test one for yourself and see if it fits your lifestyle.

  • Squeaky Brakes - 2016 Jeep Patriot
    By -

    3 months after purchasing my patriot the brakes began to squeal extremely loud. Mac Haik in Georgetown, Tx says the squalling brakes on the patriot is normal. The General Manager, Eric Stewart will not reply to any of my emails nor will her call me to discuss replacing my brakes. When I express my concerns with my brakes by email, Im contacted by a salesman offering to take my brand new patriot for a used vehicle. All I really want is to have my brakes replaced so they no longer squeal.

  • Way underpowered - 2016 Jeep Patriot

    Rented on vacation. The engine is completely punchless and to accelerate on the interstate literally requires flooring it. Maybe ok around town, but barely interstate worthy. Also, the cargo bay cant accommodate a regular golf bag.

  • Short drivers avoid! - 2016 Jeep Patriot
    By -

    Im in this rental for 3 weeks now. I have bruises all over my right knee. There is a panel under the steering wheel that I constantly bump into. The seats are not adjustable enough. Im unable to sit high enough to see, if I want uninjured legs; pushing the seat back, I sit uncomfortably stretched.

  • LOVE THIS SUV - 2016 Jeep Patriot

    I have never owned a Jeep product. I always stuck with Honda or Toyota. This vehicle tops all of those. The head room and leg room is wonderful, I am 59 and I have lots of room.

  • Ive only put 200 miles on it, but I love it so fa - 2016 Jeep Patriot
    By -

    I bought mine (Altitude) with 3,500 miles on it for $18.9k. Im very pleased thus far. Its a pretty basic suv. It reminds me of the old Cherokee Sport versions pre- 2002 - right before they started making the Liberty. Auto dimming mirrors (actually performs very well, maybe the best dimming mirror I have ever driven with); Cruise Control; AC; Fog Lights; Auto Headlights; remote start; bluetooth (can sync my music pretty decent sound); touch free phone (works really well, and I usually never use touch free phone system because I usually hate it, but this works very well, no yelling needed); steering-wheel buttons; voice command; sirius; power windows/mirrors; heated seats; heated mirrors. Also, Im not sure what this feature is called, but Im pretty sure its a variable transmission - meaning that I can drive it in automatic, or I can flick the shifter and it then turns to a manual 6speed transmission. I think thats very cool and enjoy it. Scared me the first time as I had no idea I had transferred it to manual and couldnt make it up a hill. I thought I bought a lemon before I realized I had engaged the manual transmission, lol. I mention this also because i have read several reviews where people say that sometimes their Patriot wont go over 40mph because of "overheating." They probably engaged the manual transmission without realizing it and dont realize theyre driving their car in 1st gear. Its only a 4 cylinder engine, but it gets up to 80mph in a hurry. Its fine. Ive read some reviews that criticize the weak pickup of the engine, Im not sure these people understand its a 4 cylinder carrying an SUV body, its not an V8 engine, lol. Nonetheless, the engine is fine (though I havent had it packed full of stuff, nor have i towed anything with it). The ride is smooth, quiet, and comfortable. Im 63 200lbs. Plenty of leg room. Also, It is the only car, other Jeeps included, that my head or hair does not touch the roof. I do not have to slouch. Thats awesome if youre a tall person. Gas milage is fine. I drove 160 miles (all highway) on a half a tank, so thats over 300 miles on a full tank. I believe it holds 13 gallons and costs somewhere around $30 to fill. The windshield is gigantic. You have a lot of windshield vision as well as passenger front and back window vision. Driver side rear window vision is spotty. Just be careful switching lanes. I love this Jeep. Its basic, yet it also has enough features to make it a very enjoyable experience.

  • Disappointed - 2016 Jeep Patriot
    By -

    My new 2016 Jeep Latitude came with a rough idle when stopped and squeaky brakes. The dealer says this is normal for this model and nothing can be done. It is not what I expect in a new vehicle. I have owned many new cars in my lifetime and I have never experienced these problems on any other vehicle. When I complain to then service manager he basically just shrugs.

  • Professional car reviewers are worthless - 2016 Jeep Patriot

    Its a Jeep. I bought a 2016 and I really like it. I have owned a lot of new cars, I buy them for myself , my wife and my son. If you read the reviews you would think it is a terrible vehicle. But I test drive cars myself and I dont listen to what car snobs have to say. If you option it properly it is an unbelievable value. First, I bought a Sport with Freedom Dive 1 and the 2.4L motor with the 6 speed auto. This trim is not included in the drop down list for some reason. So my final cost was under 17K with discounts and rebates ( before taxes and license)- for a 4WD SUV. The interior is pretty basic but the seats are comfortable and the appearance is nice overall, I love the dash and the gauges. The visibility is great and I feel comfortable maneuvering in traffic. It has Blue tooth, AC , and a year of free satellite radio. Cargo capacity is really good. Steering in well connected and ride is pleasant. The motor is quiet but does transmit some vibration at idle, I dont really mind it as it is a minor issue. My last three cars were a BMW128 convertible, a Chevrolet Volt, and Jetta TDI. I have to say I like this one as much as the others. Apparently I am not alone as they sell a lot of them. As a last note my wife, who leases a new Range Rover Evoque. Drives it every chance she gets -

  • I dont get the Jeep thing - 2016 Jeep Patriot
    By -

    I got this 2016 Jeep patriot as an unwanted upgrade at enterprise. I wanted something that got good gas mileage and they had no cars. I was told this this would but it consistently got only 21 MPG. Soooo where to start, the engine sounds like an angry sewing machine, and it doesnt do much to the motivate the CVT that has trouble changing gear. It idled rough... It had 5341 miles it should run great I would think. It rides like a truck, rough and bouncy, and there is tons of oversteer. The front seats lack lumbar support, they are manual with minimal adjustability. The radio made a terrible high pitched noise when I plugged in my phone into aux and it was plugged into the outlet. The door sills are high and I smack my feet on it getting in and out. There is no visibility out of the back windows unless you lay the rear seat down, the roof line gives poor visibility out of the rest. Ive driven jeeps I like and lots of other SUVs that were great, but this has to be the worst. There was nothing that stood out as good beyond the braking performance.
