Used Jeep Patriot for Sale in Orlando, FL

By far the worst feature is the amount of gas it goes through, and the acceleration speed. I was told it ran on one continuous gear, and it doesn't speed up very fast because of it. I do like that it has lots of light features and cuts through rain easily. It is good for terrain like beaches and rocky roads. It doesn't have as much storage as I'd like for driving around the city, especially in regards to things like textbooks I have to haul around, but does have good storage if you were to take it on a road trip and have all the seats in the back down. Overall I am pretty pleased with it, but I think it could use better acceleration. If I were to buy a new Jeep product it would most likely be a Wrangler instead. I don't like that the Patriot has a hard top. It would be good for snow and winter, but I live on a beach so it turns the car into an oven. Another thing I don't like is that it takes forever for the air conditioning to blow out, it shoots air out of defrosting vents and only after a good minute or so does it actually come out of the other vents.

This vehicle was an absolute nightmare the first couple of months I owned it. It died while driving it around in a new city twice, and I had to have it towed to multiple dealerships. I also had to leave it in another state and take a rental home because no one could figure out what was going on. After visiting four different dealerships (because the problem would come back), it was finally fixed correctly. After these episodes, the car has been fairly fun to drive. I like the fact that it's not gigantic but not tiny like most sedans. There is a decent amount of passenger space, although the back doors could be larger, and that would make it better. Its gas mileage is alright. I went to this from a 2002 Civic so about the same there. The car was a decent price for what I got, so I am pleased about that aspect of it. It's an okay car, but I'm not sure I would buy one again or recommend this particular Jeep to a friend. If I had no engine problems to begin with I would probably have a more favorable view of the car, but it's always in the back of mind that it might happen again, and I could be stranded anywhere. It's more of a concern now that I have a child.
