1 Owner - Jeep Patriot, Latitude Edition 4x4 With Rare* 5spd Manual Transmission on 2040-cars
Lincoln, Nebraska, United States
|
I bought this Jeep new in September of 2010 and it has never let me down. Its a great little truck, does awesome in the snow and gets decent gas mileage (22 in the city and as good as 26 on the hwy). I wouldn't hesitate to drive this vehicle anywhere...and I mean that! It will go just about anywhere. Also, with a manual transmission this little trucklette is many times more reliable than the more common CVT models, plus it gets better gas mileage.
Interior: The cloth interior has held up extremely well. There are no stains or marks on the front seats and the rear seat has indentations from child seats. I'm told if the child seats are taken out the normal shape of the seat returns...probably not an issue but worth mentioning. The carpet is near perfect everywhere and the factory original floor mats are still intact. Exterior: CarFax should show one accident back in 2012. A woman backed into the driver's side in her minivan. Insurance covered the repair and I had it performed at a legitimate shop opting to replace both the front and rear door with good used doors off a black Jeep Patriot rather than having the original doors repaired. It was more expensive to do it this way but worth it in my opinion to ensure there was no body filler or corrosion issues years later. The passenger side has a door ding about the size of a dime on the front door and a pretty decent size dent in the front fender just above the turn signal (see photos). Mechanically: This thing is rock solid. It corners flat, tracks straight and rides smoothly. The brakes are good and should last another 30 thousand miles depending how you drive. It has decent power for a 4 cylinder and I've never hand an issue with the engine/drivetrain. I added a K&N cold air intake at around 10k miles and saw a minor increase in mileage. The clutch has good grip and doesn't slip, squeal or chatter. The AWD/4WD system works as it should and the vehicle is not subject to any recalls. Overall this Jeep is in good condition, it has a few minor imperfections but nothing that impacts performance or reliability. |

Finding surfing spots in the UK is tough work, even in a Jeep
Sun, 06 Jul 2014You truly have to love surfing to practice the sport in the United Kingdom. The area isn't exactly teeming with warm beaches full of sunbathers, and absolutely no easy spots to find big waves. To be a UK surfer, you need to be a fearless adventurer, not to mention quite lucky. And driving a Jeep might help, too.
Surfers Oli Adams and Micah Lester are traveling around the British Isles in a Jeep Wrangler Overland trying to find the best surf spots out there. These guys don't fit the laid-back surfer stereotype, but that's because finding waves in the UK is hard work. They say that the waves at some of these spots only exist for about three hours every year when the current and winds are just right.
To find these surf spots, the Jeep's offroad capabilities are paramount. In some areas, as you'll see in the video, there isn't even a beach, just jagged rocks. It would be like the movie Endless Summer, that is, if it could start snowing at any moment. These guys are clearly dedicated to their sport.
China orders Jeep to investigate Wrangler fire risk
Mon, 06 Jan 2014It's been some time since we've heard anything about fires related to the Jeep Wrangler (foreign or domestic), but it sounds like the go-anywhere SUV could be in hot water once again in China. Bloomberg is reporting that the Chinese government is ordering Jeep to investigate the matter and, in the meantime, also recommending Wrangler owners to not drive their vehicles in "extreme conditions" due to a "relatively high risk" of catching on fire.
There is no indication as to how many vehicles or which model years are affected, but the previous fire problems in both the US and China - which led to investigations but no recalls - were traced back to automatic transmission fluid leaks. The article, however, does not say what the potential problem is this time around as Jeep has not released a comment on the matter. The official notice, in Chinese, can be found here.
