2007 Jeep Patriot 4X4
Summary:
Terrific
Faults:
The only flaw was a small paint issue on the roof rail that was fixed under warranty by the dealer.
General Comments:
The Jeep Patriot has been everything that it promises to be. A versatile, fun, small SUV that delivers some fuel efficiency the Jeep has carried me through some back roads for fun and through some blizzards with a comforting sure footed ride.
I have read some negative comments about interior finish and materials on some sites; some commentors are not really SUV people. If your Jeep is going to be used for outdoor fun, you will really appreciate how nicely a Jeep Patriot cleans up on the inside.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Up to 20,000 kms now and did have to have the Air Sensor changed already. These should last at least 100,000 kms. Also had to have a rear brake re-aligned as it was installed incorrectly by the manufacturer. I am having the Drivers seat brackets changed as it has jumped out of position 4 times while I was driving and this is a safety issue. My opinion of the standard transmission has not really changed, I have owned better, this one really seems to be lacking quality. I still enjoy driving this vehicle, but will continue to monitor it for workmanship, and expense of ownership.
