Used Jeep Patriot for Sale

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.

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 really like my Jeep. I don't recall which level of the Patriot I have, but I do have navigation and leather interior, so it's a nicer model. I think it's built very well and runs well. It's roomy like you would expect from an SUV, but it has better gas mileage. I get about 22 miles to the gallon in town, and about 26-28 on the highway, which I think is awesome for a vehicle that looks like an SUV and is capable of towing. I did buy a hitch for my Jeep so I could tow, but I mainly use the hitch for a bike rack. The leather interior is nice and makes it easy to wipe off and keep clean. I don't even feel that it's a problem to ride in a wet bathing suit if unavoidable, as the seats dry very fast. The backseat is roomy, and I can comfortably have myself and 4 passengers in the car. I've even had two kids and a baby seat in the back, and there was enough room. I love the stereo with the touch screen and the navigation. My only complaint about that is the manual does not give very good instructions for uploading photos to it - there is a feature where I can put my own photos on the screen and change the pictures. But, I've had my Jeep almost 2 years, and still have never been able to figure out how to put my pictures on there. The speakers work very well - they are loud enough and of pretty good sound quality. The air conditioning also works very well, as does the heat - I especially love the seat warmers! It's so nice in the winter to get inside and have a nice, warm seat. The Jeep came with carpeted floor mats, which I think is silly - it's an SUV that tows, and I think it should automatically come with all weather mats. I bought some after market. I like all of the internal controls, but my one complaint about the inside of the vehicle is road noise - on the highway, it's very loud. I wish it were quieter. As far as the outside of the vehicle, the paint job seems to be good quality. I have driven several Toyotas and always noted the paint was crap and chipped off easily. But the paint on my Jeep is very nice. This Jeep is also very sporty, which makes it fun to take camping with my son and our Cub Scout Pack. I like the storage in the back of the Jeep as well. I use my Jeep to go camping a lot with my son who is in Cub Scouts. I can easily maneuver my Jeep into places in the woods and don't have trouble getting stuck in sand or anything. On the road, the engine picks up very well and is not sluggish, and the brakes work well. I enjoy driving it and have an easy time adjusting the seats and mirrors so that I feel comfortable seeing everything around me. And, I can fit a lot of gear in it! My one complaint about storage is how the seats can go down in the back. You can put the back seat all the way down, or you can put one side down - but the seats are not evenly split. So, you can have a very small opening only if you put one side down. I wish I could have a large opening but leave just enough for one seat in the back. The engine runs very smoothly and I have had no problems with it. The stock wheels also look very nice. It has a roof rack, but I removed the bars going across to make it easier to wash the top of the vehicle. The side mirrors and door handles are painted, and the mirrors are electric. And, my Jeep is equipped with Homelink, which is nice for programming the garage door opener. Overall, I love my Jeep and would definitely buy another one.
