[@Erica-lw2kh]

I love how they still have the original look and no technology things in it I wish more brands did this!

[@teslaedison6236]

I love the old school boxy looks but just wish that they still built them solid like the older Jeeps

[@jimmbobb]

YES!!! Just a plain ol good looking practical car!!!

[@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess]

I personally would rather get a grand Cherokee Mk1 to mk3. Specially with the Mercedes diesel. Way more luxurious inside than this one, and they also have the hatchet rear window, while this one doesn't The best thing about the Patriot is the boot space. But if I want to priorize that I would choose a Discovery 3 myself

[@sketchyold]

I agree! My first brand new vehicle was a 1995 Dodge Dakota Sport 4x4 with the off-road package. It was boxy, very bare bones with no options beyond a cassette player 😂 and sliding rear window, and no power locks or windows. But I loved that truck, and had no problems. My parents had a ‘94 Jeep Cherokee that was very similar in terms of being bare bones. Neither fancy, but VERY capable!

[@RockandrollNegro]

@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess If you're buying a Grand Cherokee specifically for "luxury," then you're everything that's wrong with the typical Jeep buyer of today. A Jeep should be the opposite of luxurious, and if I wanted a Mercedes diesel, I'd buy a shitty Freightliner (if you can find one outfitted with a Mercedes diesel that is still running after 4 years; good luck on that.) Jeeps should be rugged, sparse, underpowered, manual transmission, small displacement gasoline engine, 4WD, ugly bricks meant to do what no other vehicle can do. Grand Cherokees are engineered to go to the mall and Starbucks and make the frail soccer moms who drive them feel safe whilst doing so.

[@DamienHensonTech]

They’re very reliable too. Mine has been in an accident and has 160,000 miles on it and I’ve only changed brakes, tires, and spark plugs. The CVT on my model isn’t perfect, but I love it.

[@skylow360]

wow really mine was crap fell apart all the time.

[@winterburden]

Mine's got 100k and seems mostly reliable except I have to get new control arms all the time 🙃

[@adamwoodruff2778]

My wife has an '08 w 180,000 miles only changed struts and basic mait. and 1 have a '17 w 95,000 miles and only had to change plugs/oil/pads.

[@teslaedison6236]

You experienced a miracle

[@LowLuvR117]

what year

[@pcallas66]

I had a 2014 Kia Sorento SX V6 and my engine blew up with almost 144,000 miles. For about 2 1/2 years it would burn through 4 quarts of oil in about 1500 miles. I found a 2015 Jeep Patriot with 31,500 miles in October 2021. Although I never even thought about ever owning a Patriot, the price was right. I am really happy with it. We had a couple challenging driving days this winter and it went through it like it was nothing. My Kia didn't perform like that with its all wheel drive system. Thank you for the video.

[@SlumpTia]

Thanks for this comment, so exited to get this car!!

[@superx9619]

I have a 2016 Patriot Sport and all it has is the 4WD, A/C, Cruise, Heated Heats and Bluetooth. No power windows or locks, no fancy screen and no backup camera. No lane departure, blind spot sensors or any modern 'safety' features. It sucks on gas mileage but I don't care. It's been pretty reliable since I bought it new and I love the old school feel to it. Plus it looks better than anything else in its class. All SUVs now look like bubble spaceships.

[@TroyBoyleAtheistAdvocate]

Agree. I have the 2017, otherwise exactly as yours. I love it. Newer SUVs look like minivans.

[@Rosalinda11115]

I think this was a very thorough review. Exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

[@youngtotem]

Thank you for this review. Very well done and helps with research. Really well done, simple and detailed 👏

[@Andywinnipeg]

We have a 2016 North Edition, almost 90 000km on it and zero problems. The car is pretty basic , no fancy stuff in it and it looks like a Jeep. Thats what we really like about it. We will keep it for a long time.

[@panther105]

Thorough and quite fair review. Very helpful. Thank you....

[@RyanDonaldsonactual]

they need to bring back the Jeep Patriot!

[@brandonw6622]

I had a 2008 Patriot, Manual everything. I really wanted to love it, but it got to the point where something was constantly needing replaced with the suspension or brakes. The engine was quite reliable though!

[@stevewilliams2998]

I have a 2011 Jeep Patriot which I use for work as a SAR K9 Vehicle and it’s great!

[@najadmasoudnajadmasoud]

Hahahah me to great car for work and Off road

[@rushgameing3085]

I have the 2014 Jeep Patriot with 85,499km and it’s a great first vehicle as I got it for free it’s black and has the same interior and 4 wheel drive and overall handles smoothly and well. My only complaint about the vehicle is that it’s a 4 cylinder engine with 172hp. The wrangler has a 6 cylinder and much more HP. Besides that it’s a great vehicle

[@Arni877]

love thhis car i got 2 of them they are amazing i live in iceland and they are awesome in snow and windy hard winter wethers.. AND NEVER BREAKS!!!

[@filmic1]

I have a 2008 4x2 2.4L Patriot North (Canada) power everything except no sun roof. Tinted windows. It needed front end brake, suspension etc work, , shocks, struts, put new plugs, with 135K miles. Mechanic wanted to put in a new rack and pinon unit but said it was fine on the interim. I only paid $2,200.00(CDN) But the engine is faithful. I put RESTORE oil conditioner and Lucas valve treatment in the gas. The engine is so quiet now. It's been a retirement project, I guess. It's amazing climbing over winter snow banks.

[@dimond1806]

I liked your review. But I disagree with some of your points. I have a 2015 Jeep Patriot Latitude. I have had it for two years. I love it very much. Very fun to drive and the inside dash is actually quite refreshing. Simplistic, yes. But it is very easy to figure out where everything is. Especially with the big AC/Heat controls. However, I agree with your assessment of the power it has, or lack there of. Mine has a 2.4 liter with Freedom Drive II. And it is sluggish when trying to get up to highway speeds. The engine does sound like it is trying very hard to move down the road. Once highway speeds are achieved, it is a good easy to handle drive. Steering is very responsive at all speeds. And when off road, it handles very well. Locking in the 4 wheel drive gives it much more ability to get to some of those harder to reach places. But, again, the CVT restrains the actual power when trying to climb on some of the steeper trails. Over all, a great vehicle with some minor drawbacks. One of those being the price tag. 10k for the one you show is WAAAAYY over priced. Again, great review. Thank you for the video.

[@playboy0869]

Jeep Patriot are awesome I got with 137000 miles and it runs real smooth perfect ac and heater.

[@Cosper79]

I'm the second owner of an 08 Patriot. Currently it has 160,000 miles, 100,000 of which I put on it myself. Only problem I have had is I replaced the front ball joints. Other than that no problems at all.

[@KC-cq4sw]

Looking at one now how is yours doing?

[@teslaedison6236]

Tell us about the electrical issues you have had. Mine has 28k miles and wheel speed sensors are already shitting the bed!!!

[@fabianperspectv]

I have a 2014 a just recently replaced the front ball joints and back shocks. I got wheel alignment done as well. But the car is still vibrating I may have to get it checked out again

[@slowgoat6089]

Man i used to abuse the shit outa the Patriot at my security job, We left it on 24/7 and the car never gave us issues.

[@borarider669]

Good to know

[@giuliom8520]

Great video and review!

[@user-nf7hm5rv3b]

Great video!

[@ZimaletaMotors]

I like your review thanks

[@corradettimotorsports360]

What they use is a "brake" Lock differential, all axles split torque equally through the differential & the engine can only deliver as much torque as it takes to turn the wheels, so if its on a slick surface or similar one wheel may turn, but not the other, its the equal torque division that causes this, stepping on the accelerator will only increase speed, not torque, so what modern systems use is brake application on the spinning wheel wheel (slipping wheel) to add extra torque to the other wheels that have more traction (until they slip causing a brake application) MacLaren indecently uses this system instead of a rear limited slip as to save weight and offer better torque vectoring control. Good review !!! I still like these for some strange reason!

[@eliezerluna9407]

I have a jeepnpstriot 2012 on sale $4000

[@tylerrogers3345]

This is a bare bones model I have heated seat remote starter and power windows in my 2015 latitude trim also comes with tow hooks. I just put a rough country lift which gives it significant ground clearance and never been stuck pulled a bunch of ppl out of the snow. Mine also comes with xm and Bluetooth

[@danielgolite]

I like my Patriot. Nice styling and handles well in the snow. What are those black wheels? They look sharp!

[@bruceshearer1719]

....a great review, my friend.....thank you🇨🇦

[@LamontBoucherville]

Great video

[@victorcokas6979]

Theses things are under rated, less tech = less problems. 4wd does fine. Especially the 2.4 with a 6 speed transmission not the cvt. It does it’s job, I’ve seen people lift them as well about 2in and they look good. I rather a Patriot over a compass or the newer renagades any day.

[@ElantraFukkenGang]

Very underrated. I don’t have an automatic, they can come with a 5 speed manual like mine did. It’s hard to get a 5 speed fully loaded they’re usually 2.0 2wd. You can get lucky like me and find a 2.4 5 speed manual, 4WD and fully loaded. Hard to find but they’re around

[@drewmorg.]

@@ElantraFukkenGang I imagine a manual has got to be tougher off road especially low speed stuff, no ? Torque converter seems so much easier climbing hills especially bumpy stuff.

[@ElantraFukkenGang]

@@drewmorg. if you’re used to clutch work it’s no big deal; but you will be riding that clutch a lot off-road being a heavy four cylinder. Even in daily driving the clutch has to work hard to get the car moving.

[@DBEdwards]

47000 miles. 2017. PSC silver colour. Fun to drive. 4 wheel drive. 2,4 litre. Cool

[@mrwelsh78]

The XJ Cherokee was not body on frame. It was a unibody. I owned one and spent several hours underneath it.

[@Qu4DSprayz]

Can you tell me what those wheels and tires are? Just bought a patriot and looking to spice it up a bit. Those are perfect!

[@nivlem131303]

are all freedom Drive II are CVT? i heard tat CVTs are not good in offroading...

[@msj3639]

The title said 2007-2017 but the review was basically only for 2015. Why were the other years not included? There were other vehicles mentioned; Compass and Terrain but they years for those were not. I was hoping to hear about the 2014 Patriot Latitude. Any thoughts on it or a link you reviewed it?

[@1966human]

The jeep interior is still going to be looking pretty good when it is 30 years old

[@dannylewandowski2822]

I wish it had telescopic steering adjustment. Love my 2015 sport otherwise!

[@melenayruegas596]

Question is the patriot a smooth riding car on ruff roads??

[@DrunkUncle1917]

i had a 2007 patriot and was a absolute endless money pit, it was so bad we had to push start it

[@The_Temple]

have a 2015 patriot latitude ... in one word I'd describe it as "adequate" ... nothing great, but not bad either the 4 banger engine, well, it gets the jeep going ok ... but, don't expect anything really resembling acceleration gas mileage isn't all that great cargo space is smaller than what it ought to be but, has been reliable enough - and handles winter driving conditions nicely the "freedom ii" package supposedly has fairly decent off-road capability, but w/o it, can handle simple terrain ok(ish)

[@olosnah1]

the lack of modern tech is a selling point.

[@rxramon]

The basic nature of this vehicle is a positive for me as a no fuss daily driver.

[@tonygareth221]

It’s 2022 so prices SUCK but I just got a 2016 Patriot for about $17k. One owner, 23k miles, standard transmission (which I don’t mind) and the interior and exterior are in VERY good condition. However, no power windows, no nice seats, no backup camera…I still like it just the way it is. I do plan on getting a little bit larger tires at some point. Oh, no f@*king USB ports! I’m gonna have to do some things to vehicle, but I still like it. Drives nice it’s fun with manual. 4x4 as well. What say y’all? 👍🏻👎🏻

[@whoawoahh]

With a standard sounds like fun!

[@ElantraFukkenGang]

I also have a 5 speed patriot and love it. Mine is a 2.4, and it’s fully loaded with 4WD, sunroof, AC, premium audio, power windows seats and locks, and heated seats :)

[@brittanydelgado5329]

Hello! I recently got my first car I got a 2017 Jeep Patriot . I’m still familiarizing myself with the vehicle so I’m able to maintain it properly ! I heard oil changes are needed frequently but so far it’s been driving great as I got it with 23,000 miles . Will I get at least 2-3 years out of it if I maintain it well? Thanks and loved your video !

[@dzumba9897]

How has the car performed after 1 year? Pro’s and con’s?

[@MrFrankthefun]

Heard that the 2009 Models were pretty problematic, and had issues with water leaking through the roof. Has anyone experienced problems with theirs?

[@LeoGang89]

2011 patriot Engine shuts off everytime I top off the fuel tank. I still love my jeep patriot tho

[@mr._amazing]

Nice Patriot, but that is 100% not Freedom Drive II. Looking at the gear selector, FDII has an extra notch below the drive setting for a crawl gear that also activates the off road torque vectoring

[@RockandrollNegro]

Agreed. That's the Freedom Drive I model.

[@KaizenSteelDrums]

Reminds me of Sisters,Oregon.

[@baebae2449]

Im still getting one my husband got a 2019 and transmission messed up all car. No matter what yr has its faults
