"I'm 66 years old and have purchased my share
of vehicles. I've always been suspect of salespersons, regardless of
what they're selling. I have never been treated as well as I was by Lt.
Dan Welsh. I live 1,500 miles away from the dealership, so my initial
contact with Lt. Dan was by e-mail and telephone. He was always
courteous and friendly, and never pushy. I'm pretty fussy, and Lt. Dan
put up with my needs. He met every request I made. And I believe I got
a great deal on the car.
I highly recommend the dealership, and Lt. Dan Welsh in particular." - 7/6/2011
The 2007 Jeep Patriot drives with confidence and control. It is easy to
handle and feels light and nimble. The turning is sharp and the body is
well isolated from the wheels. Going over bumps is smooth, as is
cruising down the highway. The suspension is as good as the engine. The
Patriot is impressively stable on any surface.
2009 Jeep Patriot
For 2009, Jeep gave the Patriot a brand-new interior in its boxy small
SUV with the hopes that it would turn a low class cabin into a class
standout. The 2008 Patriot is well known for its basic cabin design, it
possessed potentially the lowest-quality combination of plastics ever
offered in a production car - resulting in shiny, hard surfaces
everywhere you looked or felt. Just one model year later, with an
interior that looks like it was destined for a luxury car but found its
way to Jeep's Illinois factory, the Patriot has come a long way.
Integrated into the tailgate is Chrysler's unique flop-down speaker
setup, an ideal picnic or tailgating companion. Two rows of seats
provide room for five, and the interior is trimmed in shades of gray or
beige. The Patriot has several unique options, including a cargo-area
dome light that can be removed and used as a flashlight.
2010 Jeep Patriot
The 2010 Jeep Patriot is unmistakably a Jeep. The windshield and backlight are
relatively vertical. The tailgate does not have separate opening glass.
Up front, the iconic seven-slot grille is flanked by round headlights.
The bumpers are defined and not molded into the fascia. They're silver
on the Limited and body color on the Sport. The Jeep Patriot is
considered a compact. It is built on the platform of the Dodge Caliber,
but you'd never know it, because it doesn't look that small. It's almost
exactly the same size as the new Jeep Compass but it looks more rugged,
lacking the rounded edges of the gentrified Compass. It looks more like
a Liberty, or maybe like a baby Commander.
