Pros: What do you like about 2007 Jeep Patriot?
First saw Patriot at 2007 Toronto Auto Show (Courtesy GM) impressed by head and leg room roominess, front and rear. Purchased showroom Jeep Limited Model May 2007 and have driven 78K with no major problems.
Still original Firestone OWL tires and brakes.
4x4 travels deepest winter snowstorms in south central Ontario. 2.4 litre (with factory trailer hitch - will pull up to 2,000lb) handles my 14 ft. 1500lb hard top tent trailer pulled twice a year for camping up North (using clamp-on extended mirrors).
Boston acoustic sound with satellite a joy, especially up north.
Leather heated seats great.
Classic Jeep design now carried over to other Jeep models.
No problems with power sunroof on this showroom model.
Only small SUV with real truck door hinges compared to other small SUV makes.
Solidly designed and assembled vehicle.
CUV drive train is sealed maintenance free for over 100K.
Good fuel economy, especially at 1100 RPM or below.
Driver lumber leather heated (front) seats that fold flat, including front passenger seat nice touches. Driver seat height adjustment helps driving beside step grades.
Tire pressure, fuel mileage, double trip odometer, time elapsed, directional compass, steering wheel radio controls, cruise, alarm and thermometer displays standard with the Limited Patriot are nice touches and make driving a pleasure.
Cons: How would you improve 2007 Jeep Patriot?
Make heated rear seats available, as they are great on the front.
Added small convex spots to side view mirrors to cover blind spots.
Relocate center-mount rear cup holder which forces middle passenger to straddle holder.
Make high beam headlight selector less sensitive as slight pull on the signal direction control may cause you to go high as you select your turn.
Offer diesel option which is available on the UK version Patriot.
Security blind for rear storage had handle break off from blind. Replaced first on warranty. Repaired second time myself by drilling through handle and securing clamshell plastic pull handle with small machine screws and nuts.
Replace rechargeable dome/flashlight with Lithium Ion batteries in place of NICAD's currently used.
2007 Jeep Patriot Review:
Even though a few minor cons, I have previously owned both GM and Ford vehicles for over 22 years, I consider the Patriot to be the best vehicle I've ever owned. Even though I purchased extended bumper to bumper warranty for 5 year - 100K, after over 3 years and 78K the Jeeps has had no major problems. The 4x4 warranty requires that oil be changed every 5K, and rotate tires every 10K which may account for the even tire wear on the original Firestone factory touring tires. CVT transmission not only gives better mileage, but combined with Traction Control you can feel the wheels grab the road on wet or snow covered surfaces. Engine and chassis have been proven on the Dodge Caliber and Compass. Reliability and price make it the best 4x4 in its class on the market. The 2.4L 4 is OK. Would like to see the diesel option in North America. Perhaps the speed freak crazies would like the 400HP Turbo 2.4L option offered with the Caliber SXT, but if you want that why buy a jeep? With the break from Daimler and now merger with Fiat, I hope Chrysler will continue the Jeep Patriot. Submitted June 5, 2011 three years and a month ownership, having driven 78,000Km on both highway and city roads.

2007 Jeep Patriot Review:
They call it a Jeep, but I wouldn't. Suspension and direction parts tend to break quite easily, and I'm also having lots of problems with the electronics. Materials used for finish are cheap, and Jeep has a terrible customer service.

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Jeep Patriot?
I like that the 2007 Patriot is inexpensive and quite roomy. I am able to pack up the back of the Jeep when I fold the seats down.
Cons: How would you improve 2007 Jeep Patriot?
I have 94000 miles on the vehicle and have not had any problems until now. The ac condenser is in an awful spot. I either hit a curb or bumped into something which caused a hole in the ac condenser. First my AC went, now the car sounds like a boat! At the same time my breaks and tires needed replacement.
2007 Jeep Patriot Review:
It was nice while it lasted, but I think it's stupid to put the ac condenser right up front to get hit. I probably won't buy this type of vehicle again!

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Jeep Patriot?
Gas mileage.
Box body style.
Off-road performance.
Easy to activate 4wd.
Cons: How would you improve 2007 Jeep Patriot?
Road noise is horrible.
A little more acceleration from 0-20 mph.
2007 Jeep Patriot Review:
Love it.
Gas mileage is great despite the fact that you're basically pushing a box through the air, like the boxy body style though and I drove it around when we had 2 ft of snowfall in a 24 hour period, handled it well..
I like to listen to music while driving but road noise is so loud I have to compete with it with the volume and bottom end acceleration is bad. Even if you floor it, it's like it takes a whole second to think before you get anywhere..
Good car though. I payed 25K for my 2007 when it had 75 miles on it, all black Patriot Limited 4x4.

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Jeep Patriot?
Like the size and shape.
Heated seats.
Gas mileage.
Cons: How would you improve 2007 Jeep Patriot?
Higher windshield visibility.
Better placement of cup holders.
Lock on glove box.
The seals need improvement. I have experienced water leaking into the car on 3 different occasions. Twice after a hard, driving rainstorm. Water was in the back cargo area and another time in the carpet of the front passenger area. Just today went to do errands and water started pouring in through the front dome light. It ran into my CD player, radio and shifter! Snow was melting on top of the sunroof and found it's way into the car!! Taking it in for inspection ASAP.

Overall I enjoy driving the Patriot except for the problem with the seals.

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Jeep Patriot?
I have had this Jeep for just one month and am very pleased.
I've added Yokohoma Geolander AT-S tires 225/70-16. Very good in mud and snow. For a bit more power I've added an HPC performance chip and a K&N air filter, noticeable difference. Am still tweaking the chip for performance and mileage.
Other noteworthy impressions; best and quickest warm-up heater I've ever had, best window washer spray, really comfortable seats and huge leg room front and back . The off road FD2 system does work well. I am sure this Jeep will go anywhere my Toyota FJ Cruiser would at a lot less cost.
Cons: How would you improve 2007 Jeep Patriot?
For me it would be a larger gas tank.

All in all it does what it's supposed to do, very well. What more can you ask from any car?

2007 Jeep Patriot Review:
Mechanical problems have sapped all the pleasure of ownership, front light harness overheated, at 46,000 miles lower front right ball joint needed replacement, emission control sensor needed replacement vehicle was not drivable, now as of 7/23 an intake manifold control valve needs replacement. I am a lifelong Jeep owner, had a 1995 Cherokee for 375,000 miles, this vehicle I cannot recommend, also dealer uncooperative.

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Jeep Patriot?
I have only owned my 2007 Jeep patriot for about a month but I am impressed with the rear leg room and leather seats (Limited). It has plenty of power and has a smooth ride. Tonnes of safety features as well. Nice tight turn radius also.
Cons: How would you improve 2007 Jeep Patriot?
There is a bit of engine and road noise but nothing too bad. One complaint I do have though is the rearview visibility, it is very difficult to backup and you really need to use your mirrors carefully.
2007 Jeep Patriot Review:
Overall I'm very pleased with my Patriot and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a well thought out Jeep at a reasonable cost.

Pros: What do you like about 2007 Jeep Patriot?
I live in Toronto, Canada and have the 4x4 North Edition since Aug. 2007 and 25,000km on the clock. I have not had one speck of trouble with it. The Goodyear All-Terrain tires are very grippy in all conditions, even slush and snow! It gets very good gas mileage too. The vehicle is screwed together very good. No rattles or squeaks, even on the worst of roads. By the way I take it OFF-ROAD too!
Cons: How would you improve 2007 Jeep Patriot?
Improvements: Add a 120 volt A/C outlet and a 12 volt outlet in the cargo area.
Make "heated" mirrors standard, or at least an option.
2007 Jeep Patriot Review:
After 18 months of driving my Patriot in all weather conditions I find it a very capable vehicle and has surpassed my expectations for an SUV. The body-roll is almost non-existent when pushing it around corners. It feels very safe and secure. I would reccommed it to any one.
