The Cheaper Jeep
Monday, February 08, 2016
Jeep is well known for off road capabilities and overall the patriot will do the job off road. I recently traded in my patriot for a wrangler. I liked driving my patriot and only had a complaint about the quality of certain things in the car such as the weather molding coming undone after 6 months. Little things like the radio would randomly act up and cause minor headaches. Although I generally liked my patriot the most alarming thing is how horribly these patriots hold their value. Upon wanting to trade I was told my Jeep had depreciated over $9,000 and had to trade in with negative equity. They had over 20 patriots on the lot and only 2 wranglers. Simply put I think if you can afford a little higher payment it is worth investing in a wrangler. The resale value stays extremely strong for wranglers and I personally just love owning a wrangler! Although the patriot makes a great family car for a cheaper initial price tag.

Great vehicle for the price

My wife had a Jeep Liberty and we were looking for something that got better fuel mileage but still 4wd. The jeep patriot is still just as roomy and fun to drive. I would recommend this vehicle to family of 4 and anyone who lives in a winter climate.

Money pit!! Avoid at all costs

We bought this Jeep brand new. Have replaced the transmission, head, water pump, radiator, transmission dipstick (it fell off and almost lodged into the fan), it dies while driving yearly which is fixed by replacing the camshaft and crankshaft sensor. Have put almost $7,000 in repairs. We took it for its routine oil changes, brake service, tune up and STILL these issues appeared. I messaged and called Jeep/Mopar about these issues and never receive a response, so I vowed to tell anyone and everyone to AVOID JEEP PRODUCTS. Absolutely ruined my excitement over buying my first new car.
