Used Jeep Patriot for Sale in Philadelphia, PA

This particular Jeep Patriot is a 2009, with 4 wheel drive. Features include CD player, electronic stability assist, air conditioning, manual windows and locks and automatic transmission. The cream white paint job has suffered a bit over the years, showing a bit of rust along the lower interior door panels as well as the front and rear bumpers. While noticeable it has not spread to the point of making the vehicle excessively unsightly. Fuel economy remains solid even after almost 100k miles, ranging around 25 mpg. The interior is roomy enough provided one isn't too tall (like I am). Those over six and a half feet in height will experience a shortage of knee room but it is still manageable and something you get used to. The suspension is fairly smooth, handling is responsive and acceleration is ample. The 4 cylinder engine does NOT like mountain driving and the labored whining of the transmission becomes grating during long drives over mountain highways. Other minor issues include glitchy sensors which insist that the ABS system is having issues in spite of the fact it has been examined by no less than 3 mechanics who have assured me there is no issue. The same can be said of the check engine light.

This Jeep surpassed my expectations in several ways. Initially I was worried about gas mileage, but with my 40 min commute to work I have been averaging 26 miles per gallon - not bad for a backroads commute. Additionally the engine runs smoothly, and requires very little effort to engage at quicker speeds. It looks like a Jeep - I'm a fan of the traditional square grill, which it sports and it is durable. I never have to worry about inclement weather because the handling of this vehicle is superb. Due to the smaller size of the Patriot, fear of rollover after a rain, on a wet surface, or going through tight turns is minimized. I am an avid ski enthusiast and find that my Jeep is perfect for ski adventures - it can go through tough weather conditions, and the trunk is the perfect size for all of my equipment. Additionally the interior is roomy enough to haul some friends and family along with.
