Jeep Patriot (2007 - 2011) 2.0 CRD Limited 5d (2009/09) Owner Review

What does this car say about you?

That Im an action man and a family man, and I like to be a bit different.

What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?

My kids love it especially the blacked out windows, my family think its great and I,ve had all positive feedback from friends.

Would you buy this car again and why?

Yes but would probably go up a model again if I were to get a new one in future something like a Grand Cherokee, although I cant really imagine swapping it for anything as Im very happy with the Patriot.

What are you likely to buy next?

Either a newer model of the Patriot in the future or a little bit larger. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE 09 PATRIOT as much better interior than the 07-08 model, and Parkers have not based their review on the latest model, there as also been other slight improvements like tighter suspension and better sound proofing. Notice that one of the main negatives in PARKERS review is the interior, the new one is a world apart from the first. There is nothing else wrong with this car.Also states its disapointing off road, please look up videos on Youtube which condradict this. Look at www.jeeppatriot.com, and expedition west. Jeep Patriot may not be an extreme off roader, but it is a very capable off roader which will go further off road than most of its rivals.
