What Edmunds.com says...
Unless you require the Trail Rated bushwhacking brio of the 2009 Jeep Patriot's available off-road package, this car-based Jeep wagon should be near the bottom of your list.
Pros
Low base price, Jeep-lite styling, decent off-road ability.
Cons
CVT saps power and produces tiresome engine drone, lackluster interior materials, meager cargo capacity.
What's new
The 2009 Jeep Patriot receives an available uconnect multimedia integration system, additional sound insulation, a spruced-up dash layout and a new center console and door panel design with padded armrests.
