What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2012 Jeep Patriot generally appreciate its reliability, comfort, and fuel economy. Many loved the spacious interior and additional features like the sound system and climate control. However, some drivers pointed out drawbacks such as the cramped rear seating and the lack of four-wheel drive capabilities in certain models."
Love the style, comfort, ride, and fuel economy of my patriot. It really does not accommodate a family of five. The center seat floor space really has no foot space because the rear seat cup holder sits there. Perfect for families with small children or if you won't be using the rear seat for long trips. Power is great with e manual transmission for added power...plus a little extra fuel economy Overall, I would most definitely recommend this vehicle. Compare it to others in it's class...you can't touch the price. And the simple no frills version worked perfectly for us. The kids just loved the manual windows!
August 19, 2013I loved owning this Jeep. It rode great, had plenty of options, and was extremely reliable. The sound system was great, and there was plenty of room for hauling cargo. The A/C would get cold quickly, and the heater got extremely warm. I've been converted to Jeep for life!
February 7, 2014This is a great sporty little SUV. It gets extremely great gas mileage. I don't think any other SUV could compare gas wise with the Jeep Patriot. It has lots of interior space. I have two kids and this works perfect for our family!

January 14, 2014Its an amazing car, only setback is it doesnt have 4x4 abilities like the other patriot models.
January 7, 2023Even though the car was overpriced it was worth it to me. It had everything I wanted in a jeep and I love the metallic green that it is painted in. I am really satisfied my Jeep Patriot
September 18, 2020The car itself was great no wear and tear wonderful on the inside but the engine light was on and the transmission seemed to be slipping which normally tells me that the transmission may be going out if not serviced soon but all and all a great make and model.
March 14, 2022Design flaw under the steering wheel. Constantly banged my knee on it when moving from gas to brake. Definitely need to be taller than 5 to drive this vehicle. Its also very clunky, and doesnt have great sight lines
