Pros: What do you like about 2009 Jeep Patriot?
Deep Sea Blue w/ gray white interior. Even looks patriotic when the lights are on.
Great mileage. Cut my fuel bill in half.
Handles very well.
Road trips are fun, it's roomy, and it seats the family comfortably.
I'm 4'10" and everything fits, even the seat belt shoulder straps.
Great jeep quality inside and out.
Easy to clean fabric.
Ample cargo space.
5 speed shifts easily and it sort of crawls in 1st and 2nd gear, reducing clutch use in heavy traffic and parking lots.
Great for off road terrain.
Cons: How would you improve 2009 Jeep Patriot?
Reduce compression noise when the windows are cracked.
ESP braking is clunky when driving on icy roads, but I didn't slide so I guess it did what it was suppose to do.
2009 Jeep Patriot Review:
Definitely a good buy for the money. Some of the colors aren't so hot. Body parts are inexpensive. I got hit in the front door shortly after I bought it. New door skin, less than $100.00. Wish I could say the same for the paint and labor.

Pros: What do you like about 2009 Jeep Patriot?
I love My Jeep Patriot!!! The Family and I went on a road trip and there was lots of room for everyone, including the trunk. When we went through the mountains we found it handled well with all the turns. We found going up hill it seem to be better when you are in 4th gear.
I love the color!!! Red
Cons: How would you improve 2009 Jeep Patriot?
When the back windows are open it is very noisy!

Pros: What do you like about 2009 Jeep Patriot?
The radio and cd, with the Boston speaker system, is awesome with the rear hatch drop down speakers.
The sun roof, when opened and windows crack opened, lets fresh air through cool car.
Cons: How would you improve 2009 Jeep Patriot?
Find out why front end sounds like the wheels ripping off and banging when you hit a small bump or manhole covers?
The rails that the seat move on are bad. The rails stick out. When you get in I have scraped leg on and cut the back of my leg.
The seat belt needs to be put in a different place - hard to lock belt.
Back window keeps going down by itself.
I am handicapped. I have a walker the cargo space is small. I had no trouble with Pacifica.

Quality for price is outstanding.
Safety Ratings are also outstanding.
Road holding.
Gas mileage.
Traditional Jeep styling.
It's a modern Station Wagon that can go Off Road.

Make U-connect standard on all models, for hands free cell phones, to convert aftermarket costs a lot.
Move cruise controls away from steering wheel radio controls.
2009 Jeep Patriot Review:
An overall stylish, economical vehicle for everybody, we just trader a 2007 Nitro for a Rocky Mountain Patriot and can't believe the gas savings and comfort. North American car buyers should be Patriotic and buy more "Jeep Patriots".

Cons: How would you improve 2009 Jeep Patriot?
When you drive on the highway with the back windows down, the ceiling shakes pretty significantly. A friend of ours just bought a Patriot and he said his does the same thing. Since we have a DVD player in the ceiling, we are worried that it might shake so much it ruins part of the player. Bottom line: the kids aren't allowed to roll down their windows on the highway. Also, I don't like the headrest cut-outs, it's uncomfortable for the passenger (me sometimes), if you're laying back and trying to relax.

This was a gift for my 20th wedding anniversary. I would have picked a different color, but the black is growing on me now. Overall I love it, but the shaking ceiling...not so much.

Pros: What do you like about 2009 Jeep Patriot?
Just got back from a 3000 mile trip to Michigan and had a great time with the car. Gas mileage was around 28mpg, and was great to drive. Total mileage on car is about 4200 now, and we really like it. We bought ltd with a extended bumper to bumper warranty. Great radio, and a sun roof. Leather int, and super seats.
Cons: How would you improve 2009 Jeep Patriot?
Damm, put a full time 12 volt outlet in for Cell Phone.
2009 Jeep Patriot Review:
So far great car. We really enjoyed the trip of 3000 miles. Good gas mileage, and good power. Really get up and goes after about 4000rpm. Great lifetime power-train warranty (standard), with a avail extended lifetime bumper to bumper warranty for about $1800-2500. Not cheap, but a good deal if you plan to keep the car for any time. We bought it and am glad we did. Car is fun to drive, and actually handles really good. Lots of room for stuff in the car cuz of the design. The auto tranny is really great and fun!!!!!!! 6 speeds plus OD... and it works!!! I really checked it out on the Internet before buying, comparing it to Chevy HHR, Ford Escort and Escape. The Patriot was such a better deal, with lots more fun things. The other cars were good, but the Jeep is really a better deal all the way around. The engine and tranny work really good together, interior works well, fit and finish seem to be really good also. 4 wheel disc breaks, great sound system all at a better price than the others.

Pros: What do you like about 2009 Jeep Patriot?
4/w drive at a reasonable price
Awesome safety ratings
ESP and ERM, seems to limit body roll to that of a sports car
Good styling and appearance
Adequate gas mileage
Heated seats and safety features (side curtain airbags, tire pressure monitoring, etc.)
Cons: How would you improve 2009 Jeep Patriot?
Headrests should not curve inward (noticeable forward slouch when driving)
Hood shakes and moves at highway speeds
Slight shoddy crafstmanship and body noise (moldings, air seals, etc.)
2009 Jeep Patriot Review:
An overall stylish, functional, and fun to drive SUV (I call it a Hummer wannabe). Bought for my wife, and she loves it. Price is actualy very fair for what you get. Handling and cornering is highly-rated. Any flaws are modest and minor, and it is truly a Jeep inside and out (frame and transmission components appear to be rugged). We bought the extended, lifetime, $0 deductible warranty for an additional $2200, a good buy for a newer vehicle, if you plan on keeping it for a long time.
