Used Jeep Patriot for Sale in Raleigh, NC

I have owned a 2008 Jeep Patriot for the last seven years. I like that it is an SUV and sits a little higher than a car which gives you a higher vantage point to see. The seats in the back will fold all the way down (one or both) and enables you to carry larger items which comes in very handy. I have carried many big items from store to home with ease. I once fit a double mattress in the back with the seats down with no restrictions on vision. There is a speaker in the very back of the hatchback and lifts up when you open the hatch. You can have a picnic in the back and listen to music. It's fairly economical with MPG, getting about 26-27 on the highway and around 22-23 in the city. The heated leather seats in the front are great when it's cold. It drives smoothly on the highway and handles very well on curves or bumps. The cruise control is simple to control. The seat adjusts comfortably to my height and size (5' 3"). There have been no major mechanical failures in the last seven years. All repairs that have been completed have been inexpensive and simple, such as replacing light bulbs, bumpers from an accident, dents from door dings.

The Jeep Patriot is an excellent mid-size SUV. I have the 4x4 option, which allows me to take my Jeep off-road. It also works great if you live somewhere with snowfall in Winter. I enjoy that I can lay the entire backseat, or single seats, down flat to increase my storage. I get pretty good gas mileage, usually about 23 miles to a gallon. My Jeep has also lasted quite a while. I have had it six years and have about 223,000 miles on it, and my local Jeep dealer says she still has plenty of life left in her. One issue that I have with my 2008 Jeep Patriot is that the radio has CD changer and satellite radio, but no input capabilities. This means I have no way to listen to music from my smartphone, and there isn't even a headphone jack to be able to plug an auxiliary cable. I also dislike that there is only one power outlet in the Jeep. As a family vehicle, we really have to budget our charging due to this. I really like that the leather seats are very high quality. There has been no cracking or major scratching. My favorite part about the Jeep is the factory tinted windows; I have sensitive eyes and these are just the right amount of tint to keep me both comfortable and safe without after-market mods.
