The 2014 Jeep Patriot Sport edition is a good vehicle if you're looking for something bare-bones but reliable. I've never had any mechanical issues with the Patriot, but it's not exactly the fastest vehicle on the market either. The sport edition has a complete lack of options with no a/c, power windows, or locks. It would be nice if A/C was an option on the sport while still keeping the cost savings from removing the other features. The rear seats fold down and the trunk opening is pretty wide so it can fit a lot inside and though the engine is small, I have successfully hauled a small trailer with it. All in all a good vehicle but a higher trim may be worth it.
