Used Jeep Patriot for Sale in Austin, TX

There are only a few things I do not like about the car. The only down size is these are some of the big things for me that I need in a car. But I compromised to make a quick purchase. My least favorite is that it does not come with key less entry you have to install it. Which can be expensive and mess up if not done right. It didn't make sense why such a newer car was still stuck in the keyed entry age. I am also not a big fan of the v4 engine. I waste gas trying to speed up on streets due to the it taking so long to get from first to third gear due to the smaller engine. I would love to put a v6 in the engine and then this car would be at the best level it can be. I am not enjoying the poor ac system. It seems that the length between my feet and the heater is almost a foot and half which is a lot of room and ultimately waste my gas by not providing good heating. Its the same in the rear. The poor people in the back can get ac but when it comes to heating it is horrible. It ends up taking about 15 minutes before they feel a real change when the front starts to get boiling hot. It would be nice to have some better circulation.

It's hard to do basic maintenance on the Jeep Patriot at home, and the fact that there isn't a maintenance manual available to the public doesn't help. The sound system is less than spectacular in the model I own. And last but not least, my daughter, who's 5'3, has a hard time seeing over the dash without a booster cushion.
