Index of 2010 Jeep Patriot Expert Reviews
- thecarconnection—STYLING:Unlike the mechanically related Jeep Compass and Dodge Caliber, the boxy style of the 2010 Jeep Patriot has broad appeal;PERFORMANCE :If you can live with the unsophisticated and rather sluggish powertrain performance (or skip the CVT), there’s a lot left to like about the 2010 Jeep Patriot; it handles well, and there’s some off-road capability;QUALITY :The 2010 Jeep Patriot has plenty of interior and cargo space, thanks to the boxy shape, but it lags behind virtually all vehicles in this class due to its plasticky interior and unrefined feel;SAFETY:The 2010 Jeep Patriot gets high, though not perfect, ratings for safety, in a class of high achievers;FEATURES:If you’re willing to spend a little extra money, the 2010 Jeep Patriot offers some very useful options.
Buying Tips:
You’re bound to get an even sweeter deal on the Patriot’s homely sibling, the Jeep Compass. The Compass drives just as well as the Patriot, but shoppers never warmed up to its design and dealerships are challenged to move them.
