Used Jeep Patriot for Sale

My favorite thing about my Jeep Patriot is that it's fun to drive. It's up high, it's reliably good on dirt roads, and it's a little spit that zooms around. I enjoy driving my car each day, which I can't say for the cars I owned before. I like that my model is simple--no fancy gadgets, no stupid touch screens, just a solid car that runs well and looks nice. The hatch is surprisingly large and accommodates most objects I have to transport (I even moved out of my parents' house in my Patriot!). The most frustrating thing about my car is the synced phone system. It rarely works correctly; in fact, I enter each phone call fully expecting the call to drop from the Bluetooth system at any given moment. This prevents me from making any important phone calls while driving. Occasionally, the voice command button panel stops working altogether. It's very odd. I also get frustrated that my car doesn't have a compass--who designs a Jeep without a compass?? Other than those things, though, I love the general setup of my car--where the buttons are, the features offered, the overall ease of use. I love the classic square Jeep look of the Patriot, and I'm sad they've discontinued that in favor of more rounded models.

Overall the vehicle performs well. The paint holds up well with little waxing. Interior is cloth very easy to clean and is holding up very well. It drives like a jeep wrangler instead of a smooth ride like I am used to with SUVs. The Patriot does not have a lot of power for some of the hauling I need to do. 4 Wheel drive is very easy to engage. I bought this vehicle three years ago because I love the Jeep brand and have owned several Jeep vehicles. I am so disappointed is this vehicle. I just hit 30,000 miles this month and with in the last two years have started having issues with some of the mechanical. It is a sturdy vehicle and good for short trips, however, it is a gas guzzler when doing any traveling. Heating coil keeps getting a leak and in order to replace it the entire dash has to come off. Interior design on the dash is wonderful but could use a little clearer instructions for sound system and all the buttons uses.

I wanted the cheapest vehicle that I could buy that had low miles and four-wheel drive. You cannot beat the price on these Jeeps. You also cannot fit much in them, so if you are looking for something to haul firewood or appliances, you won't fit much more than a toaster in the back. Good little grocery getter. No issues with it other than cheap trim that breaks easily. If you want something to get you here to there, this is a solid dependable vehicle and I am sad they do not make them anymore. I talked my son into getting one too.
