Cancel the Compass and bring back the Patriot w/ 4.0 L engine
the boxier shape is probably what brings them back.
Love the style. I get compliments all the time!
I went with a 2015 Jeep Patriot that was used in October 2021 after my Kia Sorento SX V6 engine blew up. It had about 31,500 miles on it at the end of October 2021 when I bought it and although it's definitely not as fancy as the Sorento, it really runs good and we had some accumulating snow and drove it for the first time in the snow on my way home from work. I will tell you it way outperformed the Sorento in the snow and I was just very happy that it did what it needed to do. I didn't slide around at all and I definitely would have in the Sorento. I am getting roughly 24 miles per gallon combined and my big thing is I just wish the gas tank was bigger. I only get about 300 miles before I have to fill it up and it's a few miles after the fuel light comes on. It does fine on the interstate for sure and handles really good. The radio isn't that good, but I don't really care. The car was in pristine condition when I bought it and it still is in my opinion. There are things that I'm still trying to get used to but would I buy another one? Absolutely!!! Thank you for the video.
I have a 2013 and I purchased it because it reminded me of my 2007 sahara unlimited. on the lesser end of the spectrum of course. I've traveled all over the US and no complaints.
Part of the strength in sales is that you still have many drivers who do not want some of the added features such as backup cameras, blindspot monitoring and other crash prevention technologies. Because quite frankly, some people actually prefer to drive and use their own skills rather than getting a dumbed down "let's do it for you, so that your already poor driving habbits get even worse" competing vehicle.
The same goes for the design, sometimes simplicity is best. Even the shape of the vehicle, while everyone's going for the sleek, ugly looking, what gets the bets fuel economy design, you've stil got that basic block shaped vehicle, which honestly, not only looks better than the newer junk designs but can be more practical in terms of space use (both internally and using the roofracks).
To add to your technology comment dont forget that some of the newer tech is so bloody distracting, it kind of brings up a question of weither or not it is really safe or more dangerous
No backup camera ? OMG How are people going to back up ? How did they do it for the past century ? And how do truck drivers back up 53' trailer without it ?
LOL
right on! well said, mate!🇦🇺🏈🇦🇺
well i reckon everyone ever has just gotten lucky backing up...
IKR? Might as well just close your eyes and floor it in reverse if there's no camera!
Wolfy100 Lmao
His comments at 13:13 is exactly why I bought my 2016 High Altitude. It's a solid vehicle and I love it
I have 2 patriots...I went from Phoenix to San Fancisco and drove back.... with no problems.....later I did the samet from Phoenix - to Zion National Park (Utah)..... I love this car....especially its transmission gear system....no problems going uphills....that's why I bought a 2nd patriot... not sure about all the things the reviewer is saying....but I can tell this is a very well constructed car and very affordable....in all ways...!!!
Yeah, you could get more bells and whistles on a cherokee or other competitor for close to the same dollar, but I don't mind because the body style/curb appeal of the patriot is so nostalgic! The cherokees have really gone away from the old rugged style, and this is closest thing to the jeep glory days. I won't get tired of this one like I would any other SUV, so for the money I'll spend now will save me in 5-7 years when I still love driving my patriot :)
I have a stock 2008 4x4 limited model. It's been awesome for me in Colorado. I wanted an inexpensive 4x4 to commute to college and back to my parents on holidays/weekends in all seasons. It's lasted me 5 years without any major problems and is still going strong. It's not fast, or flashy but it's been reliable, great on gas, great in the snow/rain, and surprisingly good offroad. I'm not driving it up Chicken Corners in Moab Utah, but if your taking it up to the Rockies it'll be able to go most places anything else can. Another great factor is that it's cheap which allows upgrades if you want. Check out rocky-road outfitters for some patriot aftermarket stuff.
The only gripe I have is the engine/cvt transmission which does rev high if you push it. I'd highly recommend it if you have college students that need a capable vehicle.
Considering how well these were selling I am surprised they just didn't update this. Looks a lot better than the new Compass. This LOOKS like a Jeep.
That's mine! Low tech. Basic. My taste. Has a CD player. No telly. Very fair review.😊
Please don't forget that you can get this vehicle in a 5 speed manual as well which is also fun to drive
I have 6 speed manual and the VW 2.0 TDI engine. And its powerful enough for this smal Jeep. I hope that the engine hasn't a Ausgleichwellenmodul with the hexagon shaft, like the other VW 2.0 TDI PD.
This was an accurate review. It's a bit underpowered but the handling and steering are very good. Once it's going, it's a fun car to drive. The 2016 models do have a back-up camera option.
These are so popular in my opinion for a few reasons. Fairly roomy, decent ground clearance, good MPG’s, Leather as an option, and of course 4x4 for most of the population will use for snow, light off road as needed / mud. As a daily driver, comfortable and good amount of cargo room and affordable. Wins left and right. Place some decent aggressive AT or MT tires and you can go pretty much where you want minus major off roading which most will never do
I love my patriot. In 4 yrs I have only had to replace the tires! very comfortable and beat the Mazda 5 that I also own.
How's it now
Sounds like you better not buy a Patriot. I have one for the past 8 years. Best SUV I have ever owned.
Wow really.
I have a 2013 Patriot I love it my biggest issue is the 13.5 gallon fuel tank wish it was a little bigger. But the jeep starts everyday for me and has gone through snow and mud and has always got me back home. It's a good little vehicle.
I agree I have a 2016 and I WISH the fuel tank was bigger... it only costs around $40 to fill but runs out waaaaaay too fast.
You have to drive it economically. I your running your rpms thru the roof, you're gonna burn fuel much faster. Change your driving style and you'll see you mpg improve drastically. Worked for me.
codeman1979 Thank you. I'm thinking of getting one. Wasn't sure how hood they are
Yo guys so lucky, you can get it with a mere 20-35 k, here in Indonesia, I would have to pay 60 k ++. This Patriot reminds me a lot of my old 95 AT 4L cherokee
Bought a new '15 Patriot four years ago. Still looks and drives like new. No body rattles or squeaks. 5-speed manual transmission fixes the fuel mileage and performance issues. 20% of my driving is off pavement on dirt roads and trails that frequently turn to mud. No problem with FD1 drive train. AC, cruise control, power accessories, etc. included in $18.1 K price. 16" wheels with high profile tires = quieter ride than flashy 17" wheels with low profile tires. I tried the base AM-FM w/CD system the day I took delivery just to see if it worked. It did, and I haven't turned it on since. The Jeep is for transport; I have a living room for that other stuff.
I want this!...., just because it looks so simple and plain and I really don't care for the navigation system and all the other so terribly distracting lights and features! Why not more of these type of vehicles on the market? More cars would sell if they were made more simple, but nobody listens! Does any Jeep Patriot come with a sunroof? Really like the way you presented this video. Good speaker. Makes me want to go out and buy this vehicle and I very likely will....:-)))
this one has a sunroof
Jeep put a back up camera in my 2015 patriot.
I love it.
This was an extremely helpful review! Wife is wanting one of these for precisely the reason he mentions at the very end. It LOOKS more like a Jeep. Will have to see what we find for the right price.
I love my little Patty. I hope to keep her for a long time ❤️
I have. 2014 Patriot,, This vehicle is basic, it’s a Jeep, Jeeps are not fast, it’s comfortable, no real blind spots, gas mpg not the best but again, it’s a Jeep! I’m enjoying this vehicle.
I bought a 2016,4X4 fully loaded SE(w/o nav) for $22,000 otd.I get 24-25 highway mpg in Az.It is rock solid & quiet.No issues.Oh btw,I had a Renegade with the 9 speed auto before this & hated the transmission shifting/hunting.
It is certainly not fast but feels like a tractor with partial throttle.Torque is very good for a 4 cal.Thanks for the review.
Lastly,I bought this because the rebates & incentives.I promised myself if I had any trouble with it that I would buy a Toyota next.So far, I am pleased with the price & quality....
I had an 9u Patriot and am looking at purchasing a newer one. drive the 5 speed. I averaged high 20s and got mid 30s on the highway. loved bouncing it around offroad, it was extremely reliable. and was actually fun with the stick. not to mention the 5 speed knocks a second or more off the 0 to 60 time.
It's an amazing little vehicle, mine is a 2007 and it's the best car I've ever owned, it's seating position and utility is unmatched by anything out there in my opinion. The 2.4 litre is plenty and mpg is outstanding.
I bought a brand new 2015 Patriot a year and a half ago, and I love it. It has the same 6 speed Freedom drive that this tested unit has, but it also has the all weather winter package with all terrain OWL tires, fog lights and engine block heater. I find that I agree pretty much with all you say except for the mileage. Granted, in the winter when I use the remote starter in our cold Vermont climate, my mileage drops to 19 MPG or so, because it idles a lot while warming up. However, in the summer, my average around town mileage comes in at 24 MPG. On my 8 hour trip to see my fiancée in Canada, or my recent trip of 3200 miles to see my folks in Florida I get very good highway mileage. If I stay around 70 to 75 mph, I consistently average 27 mpg. If I drive long miles on roads where I hold to 50 to 60 mph, I come in at 31 mpg. I think both of those figures are great, and I am very happy with them. Thanks for a great review!
Please, do you know if your Jeep's ESC (stability control) works when in 4X4 mode ? Or all wheels lock up in 4x4 mode? Can you turn the ESC on and off in 4x4 mode ?
Yes, the stability control works in the 4X4 mode, and you can turn it on and off. The 4X4 mode only works at speeds up to 35 mph, and after that it reverts to the standard all wheel drive.
Thank you..I didn't know about the AWD. Now, if 4x4 is not activated, is it a front 2WD..or AWD ? Do you know ?
It is AWD normally, sending power to whatever wheel needs it. When you use the 4x4 lock, it gives power to all four wheels all the time, but only up to 35 MPH, then it will default back to AWD.
I have the FD1. Patriot High Altitude package that is not Trail Rated. Do you think it is AWD ? Sorry to bug you.
I'm 6'4 and rode in one of these last month. I was surprised. Had to watch my head a little getting in it, but once inside had plenty of head and leg room. No, it's not going to wow you at all on the power, but the ride was comfortable. I've heard to go with the 6-speed and not the variable transmission option. It makes the power issue seem even worse. The best thing was what he said at the end, good value below 20 grand, and the front end LOOKS LIKE A JEEP. ....thinking about getting one myself.
2014 an up have Hyundai transmission, previous generation gets Nissan CVT (junk). The engine (world engine) designed by hyundai also.
Generally speaking you're driving a Hyundai with jeep bits on. Which is appealing to me as it looks cool and actually somewhat reliable.
I literally just bought this car. (Car details below) and I love it so much. I’ve never been a new Jeep person, but even with the unibody build it’s amazing. It feels a lot more fun than a lot of modern vehicles because it’s so utilitarian. It reminds me of why I love old trucks and off roaders. I don’t want something that feels like it’s going to be ruined if I get some dirt, mud, or food inside of it. Mine isn’t a Latitude, but it’s a ‘16 2.4 L Semi-Automatic Transmission. It’s got 4x4 and its felt great in the snow already. Coming off of such new nanny vehicles like my 20 Corolla it feels refreshing stepping back a bit. And because this was outdated in 2016, it just feels like an 09 style vehicle with extremely low miles. Mine has the standard much cheaper sound system (which isn’t great to connect to my phone; but I’m glad it does)
Seriously, I HIGHLY recommend this car in 2023
No need for rear cam that creates weak driver
I have the 2017 Patriot. An excellent vehicle for the price I paid, under 20,000 brand new including tax and prep. Coming from my previous 2002 Jeep Liberty, I was surprised the 2.4 liter of the Patriot has about the same acceleration of the 3.7 V6 in the Liberty. Of course, the Liberty keeps going past 90, where the Patriot starts to labor. Handling is so much better in the Patriot, as is the gas mileage. It has so little body roll, where the Liberty had quite a bit. Two things I miss, though. The Liberty had a more commanding view of the road, and it's thick sheet metal and rubber wheel well lips kept it well protected from door dings. Not so for the much lighter duty Patriot. Every vehicle has its pluses and minuses, and the Patriot is a cool ride for under 20K new. Too bad Jeep replaced it with the lesser quality and smaller Compass.
Huh, I've got a 2015 Sport/Altitude Patriot with the FD1 4x4 system and I average 25 mpg on my fill ups. Even got up to 33 on one trip. I find that using the stick part of the autostick transmission really helps out on the mileage since the auto holds onto the gears a little too long, especially when cruise control is being used. Overall I love the thing, just wish it had a bigger gas tank and a full-size spare.
I agree with the art project comment. Also, I am just a city driver. 30 mins to and from work. My Patriot does the job and get me out of snow. LoL
good review!
I notice that you're test driving a Patriot with about 1700 miles (according to the instrument cluster in one of the shots). That may have something to do with why you're seeing the 20 mpg range for mixed driving. I know that when we bought our Dart last year (11/4/2014) that the dealership told us not to expect the mileage listed on the window sticker until about the 5,000 mile mark - and that's exactly what happened. Once the Dart (with the 2.0L / 6 speed automatic) eclipsed 5,000 miles, she had more power and started pulling 38+ mpg on the highway.
You can lock in the base AWD, it's right by the cup holder...
He mentions it in the video. That feature just send 50% power to both front and rear drive axles
Just bought 2009 model last week, as i sold my old Honda CR-V. It is 2.0 CDI 4x4 model with 50k on clock and i just must say: Such a brilliant car. As Sam say reason was because is traditionally style Jeep. Vehicle is very comfy with plenty of space, drive is smooth and comfortable. I don't mind that engine is bit under-powered. With 6 speed manual gearbox it is pleasure and fun to drive. Economy on this model is good as well (so far 40 mpg combined). On end i must say that personally for me it's feel much better than my old Honda CR-V.
The patriot looks like the Cherokee xj.
I worked at CarMax when we bought our 2011 Patriot... we drove the Freedom Drive II and the Freedom Drive I CVTs... both made a lot of noise but couldn't move out of their own way. We got a manual Freedom Drive I and it is WAAAAYYYYY better in the performance category. Drives way better than the XV Crosstrek with the 2.0 and ~150hp.
I have the 09 sport 2x4 model with the 2.4 and 5 speed manual transmission and couldn't be happier it's handled everything from sand snow and mud easily with out any major issues and I've gotten 26 mpg combined just don't get jeeps cvt transmission cause it sucks and is we're most of the issues with this vehicle come from
I got a 2017 Jeep Patriot Latitude (base model) a month ago.Honestly, it's ok. Fuel economy isn't that grat, I get about 19 mpg. Like the guy said in the video, the ride is awesome and it handles off road well.
I wish they didn’t offer the CVT
Do we even need the tech? No.
That's why there's so much appeal with these; they're simple, no-frills SUVs that are highly versatile like all Jeeps, only with a more sedate idea in mind. They're relatively inexpensive and styling is on point - it isn't gaudy or cheap like the rest of the competition and it isn't trying to disguise the fact that it's an SUV true and true.
As such I'm highly considering trading my A6 for a model similar to this, only minus that horrid infotainment system.
+Darren on Cars (NoKia4U) Many are pushing for some of the tech to be illegal. It's been found in some tests to be as distracting as talking on a cellphone and it doesnt help reaction times like claimed.
its a jeep, its not supposed to go fast😉
It’s supposed to be really rugged and simple
People are dumb AF they like to abuse cars. They bitch about a car that is not meant to treat like a sports car.
I wasn't aware that the steering wheel telescopes. I thought it only had tilt. Is that part of the High Altitude package?
in terms of hill climbing and light off roading, would you choose this over 2010 escape AWD v6??
This vehicle is great on the snow with the proper winter tires, it's ride is really good and comfy also its boston acoustics is pretty good imo, that is why I bought this for my shop to deliver pizzas, the perfect vehicle for the job!
Pizza delivery boy here in the snowiest region of the country. Why do you say it's perfect?
@@BillDotree It's perfect for delivering pizzas because you would be pissed off if it's your personal vehicle lol!
@@tungol00 I don't get it
@@BillDotree You don't have to, what I'm saying is it's a piece of junk don't let it be your daily driver or personal vehicle, it's so cheap to buy that is why it's perfect for my delivery company but still won't get stuck in the canadian winter snow.
@@tungol00 wouldn't you still have to foot the bill if it breaks down though?
Love my 09 pateiot was stuck door deep in sand a little rocking and got out no problem love the the 4 low in this only got stuck once and it was in a trail only a jacked up truck or wrangler could go could use a v6 and a little more stock lift
I have the 2015 Latitude and I agree with his assessment of the Audio system. That being said, everything else is great. It's a good combo of basic features and some luxuries. I've driven a Grand Cherokee and I found it tacky and overthought, interior had way too many refinements and technology. Too pretty. The Patriot feels more connected and simplified..
Looks like Apache trail or somewhere near Roosevelt lake, could near the Superstition mountains
One year before this one you were able to make 24 mpg combined. This one only 20 mpg???
A very Strong feeling outside the car, i have already bought it ! But inside it is like Jeep Compass. Now price is about 22,989$ = 1759 000 Р un Ru, but in 2013 it was ~36,250$ = 1458 000 Р :) A good ,practical car.
I agree 29 grand is to much. I just traded my 2014 in for 2015 for upgrades. Both have been solid in terms of reliability. Mind you jeep is and never was a luxury brand, and there for the refinements of comfort things like that aren't something that should be expected of much more luxurious brands or models. It's something I can personally live with just fine. Plus they just look cool for a little guy!! Also keeping in the low to mid 20's for price you won't do bad in that price range!
I have the same spec but in a Compass...your test is spot on..it's not the best but it's ok, just ok!
These are nice compact suv"s. you can find them used for good prices. You dont need all the fancy crap on this one. I have the 2016 sport with freedom 2. If you want to go off road get the freedom 2 it has an additional 1" lift, skid plates, oil and trans coolers, 19 to 1 crawling gear. these have great braking I was tested yesterday twice, once by someone running a red light its brakes very well lol.
I'm looking into small SUV's of this class. I really want a Manual transmission and simple interior technology. (I'm not a fan of touch screens and tons of car tech as it usually breaks first.) What would you recommend? Under 20k for something lightly used or new.
Nice video,
My 2016 gets 25 MPG consistently. I've put nearly 12k on it since Dec. I Love this vehicle! (I have the 2.4 L engine). I paid 22,700 out the door. The only thing I had to get used to, was a much smaller cargo area. My 2004 Escape was way bigger.
i like those old escapes, i wish i could just get a new one of them, i'm not really a fan with what they turned them into, which is what has led me to this video, i like the boxy look, so all i really have left is this or the honda pilot doesn't look to bad.
+01hondascott
Go Renegade, Or Something Besides This, I took this on a road trip and hated it. You have to push the engine so hard to get it to do anything, it loves the dirt and gravel; but it hates steep grades. When I got in it felt like the cabin was overpressurized and it eventually gave me a headache. The radio/audio is nice, but the older escape's have a better sound setup. The windshield wipers are slow and useless in heavier rain, If you use the rear hatch; you will constantly hit your head on the interior trim. the steering is also a little too tight, it gives you this feeling that if you corner too quickly that understeer is biting at your heels. Overall, A Great City Car But If You Want Something Nice, Get Something Else
xXMovienut44Xx hey thanks for the honest reply, it's nice to hear from people who have hands on experience with the vehicle, a friend also told me he felt the drivers area to be a little cramped for space as well, he as well suggested i look at something else.
01hondascott No Problem, I Would Hate To See Someone Buy This Vehicle And End Up Trading It In, Losing Some Of Their Money. Unfortunately There Isn't Many "New" Boxy Cars, And Even Fewer Are Affordable. Try Carmax, Their Warranties Are Great; And They Have Affordable Cars. Best Of Luck,
-AJ
Just traded my 09 in for a 16. Cant wait to pick it up today.
I enjoy Sam Haymart's reviews. He has 2 Jeep Patriot reviews online. The first review he said the 2.4 liter automatic with 4 wd averaged about 25 MPG. The second review with the white Patriot only averaged 20 MPG ? He's right about the $29,000 price, that's way too much. I paid $18,100 for a 2016 Patriot with 2.4 liter and 4wd. I got it with 5spd. manual and with the all weather capability group ( special mats, daytime running lights , tow hooks and the engine block heater ) . The dealer gave me free oil changes for life and free state inspections. The 2016 model came standard with the Sirius radio and a 1 year subscription plus a Bluetooth audio system. It was an offer I couldn't refuse.
+John Palmer
My 2016 Patriot was 2.4 liter, 4 x4 , 5 spd. manual with crank windows and manual locks. I prefer the crank windows because you can open them when the car is off, but I wish I had power locks. That I'll miss. But I drove in the old days and it's no big deal to me.
It’s 2022 and prices SUCK right now! I just bought 2016 Patriot manual transmission 5 speed. I paid $17k and the vehicle has 23,000 miles and one owner. The car is on very good condition inside and out! Almost like new. No power windows, couple of flaws (door locks) the dealer said they would fix, no USB ports and I don’t think I can connect my phone to car BUT I’m not sure because I did hit a button and the car was talking to me asking me to tell it a number to dial 🤷🏼♂️ I like the car I really do, and I may modify and upgrade it, I just hope I didn’t get ripped off but I couldn’t afford nicer SUVs, you pay a LOT for a used, high mileage vehicle right now so for me to get a 5 yr old car with only 23k miles on it I had to do it. Dealer said only reason it didn’t sell was because of manual, but I really like driving manual so it is what it is. I just hope the vehicle holds up well. Dealer said NO recalls for my vehicle so that’s good. What do y’all think? Oh, totally basic wheels, not nice rims at all. I still like it
I like your review, but I must comment on a few things..I purchased a 2008 model 3 yrs ago..Lets hit the downfalls first.Electrical issues,, Ex-4x4 issues.. Very big pain when you have this problem, Hard and expensive to track down.RUST issues - Every patriot I have seen around the 2008 mark have the same rust at the same places on "EVERY ONE" of them,..that being the rear fender well.. The rest of the body appears to have no probs.That's about it for downfalls that I've found,.. Now for the ++points..The unit I have has the 2.4lt,, is the 4x4 northern edition model.The pluses I have found are-FUEL - first thing I did when I got mine was of course check on the fuel stats.. I was very surprised to find I was getting "up to" 35MPH highway and 22-23 in town. This was better then I expected.BREAKING system - Superb braking control..saved more then one accident. The baby stopped on a dime from 30mph.. 5 star for that. As for ride,,, 4.5 star on that.. you have to remember it's a jeep,,not a 60-80g veh.4X4 operation - when working,,ha ha,, did a beautiful job. Was in a situation where I had to traverse a 45degree dirt road,, from a dead stop at bottom...It hardly skipped a rock,,. 5 Star on 4x4 ......Power - (I use hightest fuel) for a 2.4 engine , I have been set back in my seat a few times.. When I first got the truck I had the need to pass a slower veh on a country highway..LET ME TELL YA,,,when she hits up around 3.5-4+ rpm you'll find where the horse power is then..! Very surprised when you hit 4g+ rpm...INSTRUMENTATION - I like the simple straight forward approach.. All the fancy stuff they have out today is making drivers weak in driving skills,,. The backup cam,,assist whatever,, and that sort of stuff is garbage.. Keep it simple works for me.AUDIO system - Mine has the standard am/fm/cd unit. 2 front door and 2back door speakers sound great. 4.5 star for that.. (and I'm fussy lol)OVER all if I was in the market and had 30g to spend, I would not hesitate buying a new Patriot..
Great basic 4x4!
You can find 2016s on the lot with backup cameras now.
I wonder if the tiny tires have anything to do with the slow acceleration
does any know how it is on gas? how much to fill up w. the average price $1.79-3/g?
Thanks for the review!!! just got my 2016 and my only dislike if any is that the windows and locks are not powered ughhhhh I would be totally IN LOVE other wise cause anything more as far as gadgets would just be there and unused....
4 k more for power... u can get them done for 1k at a shop. its better manual for caming n relainble
+Rajan sr I'm sorry what do you say manual is better.. although I like power better because when I get in and lock my door I know all the doors a lot
Going to be looking at 2016 models tomorrow with the wife. What are you seeing as far as the mpg? Seems like a lot of vehicles aren't near what they advertise. With gas prices creeping up I'm wondering if I should be more weary of something only getting 20mpg :(
+Ryan Kuehl I haven't had time to take it on the Highway.. I wish you guys luck on the price either way she's going to love the Jeep
shud look before. its more reliable. water proof and dont got to put power on. u can get with power windows. go to a shop and get them installe
d.. they good on mpg. about 28 on highway 4x4 25 av
This thing needs the Pentastar 3.6L. Also, when you say better than some competitors, which ones?
The gears are smooth .
Wow what soundtrack is that I love it? Send please??:)
omg would you stop with the backup camera's. My school bus has no camera and I have yet run over anything. Its called driving, try it sometime!
+LyricsQueen that's pretty low to insult someones line of work. we can have another recession and all end up cleaning toilets for a living.
+LyricsQueen What a stupid comment. What do you do for a living? What makes you more special than any other person on earth. If your first instinct is to insult someone, you need to take a long look at yourself.
+LyricsQueen Sure is, helping youngsters get to school safe and sound so families don't have to worry.
The backup camera is pretty nice to have once you have it.
Jeep patriot are great vehicles you can buy upgrade packages for the engine for very cheap to make it much quicker you can even buy a turbo system for $500 ready to install.
FWIW, my '17 Patriot has the camera on the High Altitude, and the sticker price is just under $29,000.
this is a great Jeep, regardless of what Sam and other snobs say. I love it. Also, you get 1 full free year of XM! The best thing he said was at the end of the review. This Jeep is better looking than the ugly Renegade and uglier Cherokee. Your rating sucks, Sam, this is a great Jeep.
So it is basically a new version of the Jeep Cherokee with the knobs and navigation of my 2012 Tundra Laramie.
all features were available on the Limited then they dropped it, Now they have High Altitude. I believe they thought the Fiat, Renegade, would kill it, it didn't. too small.
The '12 Limited had backup cam as does the 75th anniversary.
The 75th anniversary edition does have backup cam with uconnect and nav. Their just hard to find. The renegade is a fiat 500 . Compare it dollar for dollar not based on suv's half again the cost.
Practical, sensible, logical, good bang for the buck so to speak. Not a lot of non-needed expensive "whiz bang" techy crap to jack up the price and then be very expensive to repair later - HOW DARE THEY!!!
As far as everyone "whining" about the 2.4 a couple of points: The 2.4s when proper maintenance is done are almost indestructible and you should never buy a Jeep for performance anyway.
The 6-speed automatic added in 2014 was a gigantic improvement from the CVT but these are best with 2.4 tied to a manual 5-speed but to many folks today cannot bare the thought of having to pay attention to their driving.
Now we have the new and improved Compass for only several thousand dollars more than this w/such highly important things as start/stop technology - duhhh....
They should have kept these buy my best guess is not even profit margin/bonus stuff for the execs. Love the Patriots and always will - practical! :-)
Love my patriot! I do not care for the looks of the others!
the last old car of the line up
You must be driving pretty wild to get about 20mpg. I have the same and get 27-28 on the highway, 24 combined city commuting. Not sure I’ve ever gotten 20 on a tank, City, flat, hilly, mountain, high altitude winter or snow!
And how about the noise when you are inside pf the car on the highway? Is it loud?
And if you had to compare the fuel efficiency of this car with another one, wich one would you compare it to?
Im trying to get a 2014 with 40k miles, for $7.5k. And i just want some feedback xd.
It shouldn't be surprising that an "old" new Jeep outsells more modern ones, given that Jeep is still living off a well earned reputation from the WW2 era.
So why would my High Altitude steering wheel not Telescope?
im thinkiing to get a second car.. im torn between this or 2012 ford escape v6 4x4
.. what you guys think??
Get the Jeep
Can I put Wrangler DuraTrac 265/70R16 tires on my 2015 jeep high altitude? Any suggestions?
235/65/17 is the sweet spot
I'll just mention, the reason I love the patriot is because it's cheap, not in spite of it. The things are bullet proof due to the years of refinement. One issue throttle body, easy to fix and cheap. "Features" just break on American cars, think of them as future bills.
o avuto jeep patriot 2009 2.0 140cv motore wolksvagen fino a 10000 mai un problema apparte i braccetti ma visto che ne ero innamorato o cambiato ed o preso jeep patriot resayling 2012 2.2 163cv motore mercedes ottimo motore silenzioso e molta coppia il patriot e molto comoda e robusta la mia è full optional e vi dico che è na bomba.
Who gives a shit about the sound system
A Jeep is meant to be simple rugged and reliable
Don't know he's talking like you would have to pay MSRP to buy one of these. They're selling a lot because of the incentives and discounts. I bet you could buy the one he's driving in a 2016 at like $23k. That makes it insanely low with leather and a sunroof with 4wd compared to anything else. And he is right about another thing. It looks like a jeep SUV. It doesn't look cartoonish like the Renegade or Swoopy like the Cherokee.
lol i got mine for 2016 16k brand new auto 6 sp. 4x4 patriot. 6 miles 2.4
You're exactly right. I just purchased a FD1 High Altitude loaded edition which stickered for $30,900 Canadian and I paid $23,900 brand new. You can't get even close to this price with the newer Jelly Bean shaped suv's with the same options.
2017 2.4 capacity
Cool
At $30k this is near a Toyota 4runner SR5. The low end of this model Jeep is around $10k at the dealership. Fully loaded at $21k seems a better price.
+wcjeep A brand new Toyota 4runner SR5 for $30k ? What are you smoking ? I want some.
+Yayaya123 according to Edmunds app on my phone. Average price paid for 2015 4runner Sr5 4x4 was $33k. 2016 is $36k. I did say near the same price. The 2015 4runner would cost about $54 per month extra over the Jeep Patriot. The 2016 4runner would be about $108 per month extra. The Patriot at $15k +/- would be a decent price with a warranty. At the $30k for this reviewed vehicle the 4runner is far superior.
theyre 13 to 20 for base with sale
looks basic but dont be fooled these can do the same as apolaris or side by side they rip thru mud the 4x4 system is offraod based and can lock a spinning wheel. has massive shocks. double the weight of a side by side but its double the power.. gets over 25 mpg and 4x4 will go 300k plus miles hyundai powerplant and good deals n looks
I have that ridiculous, un-put-backable USB port cover in my '13 SRT8 Challenger. It's my one complaint. All things considered, if THAT'S my gripe, I think I'm a happy customer. And it is.
It's a shame because this Jeep could have been much more, but I image its features were limited so that Jeep wouldn't be competing against itself. It has those classic looks people still like, however it would be nice if it had the Wrangler's engine, a classically mounted spare on the rear gate and just a little bit more tech.
+Arvy Yote Then it'd be a $30k or more vehicle. The 2.4 is plenty enough engine for 95% of the population. It's a Jeep, it's a simple box, it's a basic rig. There is the Cherokee, and Grand Cherokee if you want more features and goodies. The Patriot is the modern equivalent of a Willys wagon 4x4 from like the 50's.
jeep patriot manteeeep sip sip sip
that radio needs to be water proof
First crossover??? Ever hear of 1980 AMC Eagle?? That was the first ever crossover!! By the way the eagle was built on a jeep Chassis!!
At $30,000, no. However, as E.W.E. Hughes (below) points out, it can be bought at bargain prices. At $19,000 or so, it makes sense.
The downfall with most vehicles is the operator. Don't ask it to do what you don't know how to do ! Our latitude is great all around ! When comes to price, that's a personal preference
