The Jeep Patriot Sport is very smooth driving and is built extraordinarily well. I have driven it over 30,000 miles in 1.5 years and have had no problems. It's comfortable and stylish. I enjoy driving it, and my passengers do too. Though it seems like a smaller SUV, there is good storage space for my teaching resources that I'm always carrying back and forth with me to work.

The overall amenities and drive are OK. It feels a big sluggish and under-powered, but it gets the job done. This isn't being used to tow boats up mountains. It's grabbing groceries and maybe going light camping. Within a short period of ownership, we replaced the alternator, top radiator hose, thermostat, and electronic throttle body. That seemed like a longer than normal list for a vehicle with mileage ours has had. The good news is that, generally, the car is a solid car with good fuel efficiency for a small SUV.
