I don't much like the look of the car. It's too boxy for my tastes, and I prefer a sleeker style. It's holding up well. Maintenance costs are fairly low, and we still have the original tires and windshield wipers on the car, so they're pretty well made.

The 2012 Jeep Patriot falls into line with every Jeep before. Great on road handling with the off-road ruggedness you would expect from a Jeep. It's stylish for a night on the town with enough room to bring friends along. Fold the back seats forward and you have room to haul materials for those weekend projects. It's a look that never goes out of style. The front bucket seats are firm and comfortable. The heated seat option is heavenly in the winter.
