2013 Jeep Patriot Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

I love how the vehicle handles on the road. It performs well regardless of what type of weather there is (rain, snow). It is also very comfortable, even for long road trips. There is plenty of room for anything I need. Fold-down of back seats makes the back even more roomy when necessary.

The vehicle handles great, in any type of weather. There is plenty of room on the inside and can fit up to five people. The back has plenty of room for storage, and it has held up great throughout the years.

This vehicle sit well up, so it is easy to get in and out of. It is light, so snow can be tricky even in 4wd. Handles well and is good on gas(mpg) switching between 4wd and 2wd is easy, as the lever is inside on the center console. It is small, but it is a well built vehicle.

Very dependable and roomy for its class of SUV. Patriot gets good mileage. Easy to maneuver in city traffic. Never at a loss for power when merging into traffic. Good overall vehicle. Great value for the money.

One very specific pesky thing - for some reason, the Blinker indicator is very touchy and does not like to stay in place when I use it to indicate I am turning. For example, I will push it up to signal a right turn, it will pop back down and turn off, even before I start turning. It does this at least 25% of the time I use it to signal I am turning. Not sure why!

Sometimes the indicator to make a left and right hand turn has to be pushed a few times before it stays in place. I especially noticed this when I am making a right hand turn. Other than that, I really have no cons to list about this vehicle.

It is small, so hauling capacity is limited. It is lightweight, which is great for gas mileage but not so good for traction in inclement weather. Mine did not come with a tow hitch. I do not know if that is because it cannot pull a trailer or if it is only an additional option.

It does have some road noise, no more than is typical for jeeps in general. Jeep windshields are more straight up and down so more prone to chips. I have had to replace once and repair once. Some plastic supports on seat broke easily.
