Used Jeep Patriot for Sale in Jacksonville, FL

When it comes to quality workmanship, I certainly found it when I bought my 2008 Jeep Patriot. Since I was already a Jeep fan (having previously owned a Jeep Cherokee 4-wheel-drive) I was already leaning toward purchasing another SUV, just maybe not as heavy duty as the 4WD Cherokee had been. My Jeep Patriot is stealthy with its limited edition shimmering midnight black paint and all black trim on the exterior. It gets much better gas mileage than the aforementioned Cherokee did (24 mpg average versus 15 mpg), and runs very smooth to this day. It is a manual transmission, which makes for quick acceleration as well as better gas mileage on the highway. The cargo room and configuration can't be beat for this size SUV. It seats 5 adults comfortably, and can carry 5 large suitcases plus tr... (more)

Story

I travel a lot, and since my Patriot gets really good mileage on the highway, I love to see how many miles I can get from a single tank of gas. On more than one occasion, I have gone 350 miles before having to refuel!

Pros

I love the versatility of being able to carry plenty of people or cargo with ease -- very easy to fold down the back seats with a quick pull of the release strap.

Cons

The only negative thing I can say about the Jeep Patriot is the ambient noise level is a little louder than most other vehicles -- this is only noticeable on the highway.

2013 Jeep Patriot - Jeep Patriot -- great all around vehicle.

I purchased my 2013 Jeep Patriot after leasing it for three years. The gas mileage was decent, but admittedly, a little low for my tastes. It didn't have some of the features that I like on newer cars such as a back-up camera. The cargo space was decent (you could fold the back seats all the way flat), but I would have preferred something that wasn't so oddly shaped. It made traveling with furniture and other large items much more difficult. The A/C also didn't ever kick on right away. You had to run the car for awhile before you could feel any air coming out. I wish it had more legroom given its size. I would say it was a great car for my husband and I, but I wouldn't want to try to work it with kids.

Story

The one time that I got a flat in my Jeep. I waited for two hours on the side of the road for my husband to come get me because I didn't have a jack. Turns out the jack is stored beneath the spare!

Pros

Smooth ride. Plenty of cargo space.

Cons

Oddly shaped tailgate. Long A/C turn on time. Not enough legroom.

2014 Jeep Patriot - 2014 Jeep Patriot.

This car has been a decent vehicle so far. It has had a few minor issues but that is to be expected in any vehicle. The body was pretty durable and held up when I was rear-ended, but there was still a lot of damage under the car that didn't show. The engine is very small and can barely move out of it's own way.

Story

Had to watch my nephew, who was 1, in addition to my two kids who were both in car seats. It was a fight to get three car seats into the back seat and at the end, I could barely close the doors, the seat was so full of kids!

Pros

Very good on gas. Looks nice. Strong body. Lots of safety features. Roomy interior. Satellite radio.

Cons

Jeep recalls happen a lot, seatbelt reminder is annoying, feels small, carpet stains easily, only DC plug is at the front of the car, no plugs in the back, A/C doesn't reach the back, small engine - car has a lot of trouble getting up hills/bridges and merging onto highway, rear windows create a big blind spot.
