Great Little SUVSource: Cars.com...It is slow, but will be fine if you aren't Roger Penske.Looks like a Jeep. Either you like the look of the outside or you don't. Jeeps look a certain way, its not for everyone.Fuel economy, we get up to 30+ driving highways, depending on speed, overall it is in the mid to upper 20's if you drive fairly conservative.Haven't had any major issues, the Kansas wind created a minor issue with the door, fixed for free.Probably not the best if you have more than one child, we are childless and our dog owns the back seat.It isn't for everyone, if you recreate some, its a great car. If you do some... |

AwesomeSource: Cars.com...I cannot fault this vehcile in any possible way other than the cup holder position in the back. They are at leg level on the back of the centre console which really only makes comfortable seating for 4 adults and a kid in the middle. Sure it doesn't eat mud and climb the wrong side of a mountain bit if that's what you want to do then buy a vehicle that does advertise this capability! I can personally vouch for the safety of the vehicle as I was hit buy another car when I was stationary at a train crossing. The other cars folded up against my patriot and I only had cosmetic damage! What can I... |

Why should I also consider these?
Boxy styling is actually one of the Patriot's selling points, so those looking at it might also consider the Scion xB, another city-friendly small car.
The Ford Escape, despite its carlike underpinnings, has a style and driving position that's quite trucklike.
With improved safety and standard features for 2009, the Escape is a much better vehicle.
All said, with a price that starts well under $16,000, the Patriot is an awesome value.
The Kia Sportage and Mitsubishi Outlander are two other small crossovers that aren't quite as distinctively styled, but they come well equipped.
Shoppers also might consider the Subaru Forester, a small crossover-SUV mainstay that's known for its solid reliability and good resale value, along with its good performance in crash tests.
The Forester handles slightly better than the Patriot, but it suffers from road noise inside, and it's considerably more expensive.
The xB has similar fuel economy and a similar size, though its passenger space isn't quite as usable as that of the 2009 Jeep Patriot.
However, the xB's interior feels more upscale and sportier, but it's a bit more expensive.
