after 1 year: it is a great car
so, after one year and 40000km: my euro-diesel-patriot is a great car!! it has a nice (nearly smooth) ride, goes fast on german autobahn, has very good seats and if you fold down the backseats lots of cargo-space. i have the old (oh-so-ugly) interior and i like it very much! the patriots 4wd is very good for me. i do not go for real offroading, but i need a car in the winter, and i drive on trails in forests. the patriot is the best car in winter and rain i ever drove! so test it for yourself (and forget about car-mags.....)

Like my Patriot
This has a great view of the road, being up a bit higher than most vehicles. With the rear seats down there is a good amount of cargo space. A wonderful radio for a fuun drive. Is a good combination of car ride and Jeep style.

Give this Patriot a shot!
Have owned this vehicle for about a month and a half now and am loving it. Does well in the snow (4X4) and handles better than one would assume on winding roads. I like the interior which every online expert review dislikes. I have test driven Audi's that have cheaper looking interior but they always win awards for theirs. Features are nice including the 115 volt outlet,led flashlight, good storage,and confortable seats. 60/40 folding rear seats and folding front passenger seat is also handy. The CVT takes some getting used to but I like it. Traded in my Cherokee for this Patriot and it's like they improved the things I did not like about the Cherokee. Better handling, ride, interior, no more rear wheel drive, and more rear passenger room. I remember being embarrased every time a passenger had to climb in to the rear seats because it was almost impossible to get in and out of especially for an older or larger person. I also have the Boston Acoustics sound system which is very good but plan on changing to an aftermarket stereo. I reccomend this vehicle If you want something with a nice city ride with good MPG that can also be taken off road. Great features are available and is also a very safe vehicle.
