Jeep Patriot Review Summary
"On-road, the Patriot is gratifyingly nimble, agility that's amplified by light but accurate steering."
"The Patriot is perhaps unique in offering its level of offroadability in a cute 'ute package and is simply more likeable than the Compass and Dodge Caliber (its other C-segment sibling), with more refined ride and handling and better body control (Chrysler says it's added improvements to those first two C models)."
What reviewers liked least about the Jeep Patriot:
"The steering is Novocain-numb, and we could turn the wheel several degrees off-center without any response."
"...like its platform siblings, the Patriot is stuck with the DaimlerChrysler/Hyundai/Mitsubishi "global" 2.4-liter VVT four. It's not a bad engine, but not stellar, and in most versions it's mated to the CVT, which saps its off-the-line punch and sounds like a blender under heavy acceleration, especially when bouncing around an off-road course."
Jeep Patriot Comparisons:
Best one-liners about the Jeep Patriot:
"...like the Cherokee, the Patriot's dynamic virtues, all-around usefulness, and solid value make it hard to ignore."
