This car is amazing to drive. It was my first newer vehicle that did not have any problems associated with it. There were minor defects, like a re-call for the locking mechanism, but no big problems. It sits higher up, and it is easy to see out of the windshield. The controls are easy to access, there is cruise control on the steering wheel, and you can dial the radio station along with changing the volume on the wheel. The suspension is made well, the only thing is you will hear minor creeks and noises from time to time. The ride is comfortable and it is reliable. The engine is 4 cylinder.

The Jeep Patriot is very good compact crossover that offers off-roading capability.
