by Jill

Jeep is the best SUV manufacturer in the world. SUV stands for sport utility vehicle. These vehicles come in different sizes and shapes. Today jeep offers third generation of SUVs. The Patriot model is one of the best known. Since 2007, Jeep is manufacturing the Patriot in different shapes and designs. Each year new feature adds to the fame of the Patriot. The Jeep Patriot reviews are as follows.

The test drive of the reviewers demonstrates their driving experience. The Jeep Patriot is available with different options for the engine. The 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine makes 172 horsepower. The standard is 158 horsepower 2-liter 4-cylinder engine. Both these engines come with 5-speed manual transmission. Continuously variable transmission is optional in the 2012 Jeep Patriots. Continuously variable transmission (CVT) is the automatic transmission. The test driver prefers the manual to the automatic. The problem with CVT is that they are not fuel efficient. Two wheel drives are a part of Patriot that comes with 2-liter engine. Last but not least, four-wheel drives are available only in 2.4-litre engine. Four-wheel drive makes the off-road journey comfortable.
