Used 2010 Jeep Patriot Sport for Sale near Washington, DC

This is a fun car to drive. Mine has FWD & 5 speed manual transmission, which I think gives it more peppiness during acceleration. It handles well, with a low center of gravity (so it takes curves better than some other vehicles I've driven). This vehicle has the classic Jeep style, which I've always liked. The interior was spacious and roomy - plenty of cargo area in the back, and lots of space in the back seat for the kids during longer trips. It's a good family car. Very reliable, no down time due to mechanical issues or anything like that. Minimal maintenance costs involved with the Patriot. (is this a better review?)

The Patriot is a well built vehicle, with classic Jeep style, that handles well, accelerates well, and was an overall great car to have. Used the vehicle mostly on weekends and family trips because it had ample cargo space, and got good gas mileage. The manual transmission is easy to work, and has hillside starting assist, which basically gives you about 3-5 seconds to get going when you are on a hill before it starts to roll backwards. Makes starting on a hill very easy.

The Jeep Patriot combines small car dimensions and fuel thriftiness with an SUV stance. Mine has the 2.4L GEMA engine and CVT. The CVT is better than the first gen units, but still has issues. Step on the gas and you'll remember you are driving a 4 cylinder. Otherwise the engine is fairly quiet. Ride is good, but handling is "twitchy" when quick inputs are made. Build quality is good, the interior is FAR better than the first versions of the Patriot, but the doors are tinny sounding when closed. The Patriot FWD returns about 24 mpg all around, 29 on the highway. It had to have the tranny replaced due to a leak, under warranty. The autostick makes this a fun vehicle to drive.
