2014 Jeep Patriot - Do Everything Jeep

I have always loved Jeeps and I am so happy I got mine. It is my favorite color (navy). It has butt warmers and 4 wheel drive and it is a car that can be dirty and still be cool. I like riding up higher than a sedan. I ride horses so the storage available is great and there are some cool accessories you can buy for the Jeep Liberty, like covers for the storage area and the secure mats.

Story

I live in a rural part of Central California. There is a gas station next to a Starbucks but you cannot get to the other parking lot if you go to the gas station first. Except there is a little off road path behind the gas station. I have taken it a few times to get over to the Starbucks. It is a lot of fun to be able to go "off road" to get my coffee.

Pros

4 wheel drive, cool sparkly color. I like that it still rides like a Jeep. I am not fond of the new Jeep Cherokees, they look like mini vans to me. The Liberty looks like the old style and I love that style. I like that it is a mixture of the old and new. I have auto doors and windows, seat warmers, mp3 capability, but still the rugged cool style.

Cons

I have had some trouble with the electronics in this vehicle. Every so often the doors don't lock when I hit my clicker. Or the radio and A/C or heater won't come on when I turn on the vehicle, so I have to redo it. It makes me a little worried. I have taken this to the dealership but they never seem to be able to recreate the occurrence so I cannot apply for lemon law to get a different Jeep.

2008 Jeep Patriot - Easy to maintain and great gas mileage

I purchased my 2008 Jeep Patriot when my car was totaled in an out-of-state accident. Knowing I had to get home safely, I wanted a car with relatively low miles, a sturdy frame, and room to store my travelling items. I didn't think I'd like a white vehicle, but I love how it doesn't get as warm as my past cars have, and it's easy to maintain the leather interior.

Story

Since my Jeep is exactly like the Forest Service vehicles in my area, I love driving through the National Park and seeing people slow down or stop doing whatever illegal thing they're doing because they think I'm a Park Ranger. It's been sort of fun.

Pros

I get great mileage out of this standard transmission vehicle. It's not uncommon to hit the 40 mpg mark. I like the sturdy frame of the vehicle, and I love the leather interior because it's easy to clean and takes a beating. I love the simplicity of the vehicle, too. The cargo capacity is better than you might imagine. It's also great on dirt roads and ice.

Cons

I don't really like the fact that you have to use over 90 lbs. of torque on the wheel bolts. It has led to a couple of stripped nuts on the rear tires. Also, my version tends to get a lot of leaf litter buildup in the space just below the front windshield and, occasionally, it gets so gunked up that hot water drips inside the car on your feet. I also don't like the engine cover. I know it's intended to keep the engine casing clean, but in my experience, it's made oil changes a bit more difficult.
