2008 Jeep Patriot Sport review from North America
"Best SUV value on the market!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 25,000 miles I had to have the headlight switch replaced under existing warranty. No problem. Just a quick fix.
General comments?
This is a real winner for Jeep! This vehicle offers good fuel economy, I get over 30, combined with limited off road capability and winter stability.
I have driven mine 30,000 miles and I have not had any problems with the vehicle.
The 2.4 has plenty of power. Some disagree, but if you do, you are not looking for the kind of mileage this vehicle offers. You will want a vehicle that uses more gas and has more power.
The interior is spartan, simple and easy to clean like a Jeep should be. No fancy extras to mess up or mess with.
The 5 speed manual is fun to drive, and very reliable.
If you like the no nonsense, more traditional Jeeps, but need better fuel economy, the Patriot is for you.
