Least Favorite:

Just curious! here's my thoughts after a week

Year: 2014
Favorite: Color, super clean engine bay
Least favorite: Hard to really 'feel' the engine on startup and drive

Year: 2014
Favorite: only has 600 miles on it, so pretty much still lovin' everything
Least Favorite: one thing I don't like is the tiny numbers on the speedo. Can't just glance down at it, I have to stare to figure out the speed. Probably get used to it eventually.

Like: looks, on and off road feel (as compared to other 4x4s), capability, especially in snow, cargo space, room for driver (even with the seat all the way up my head and knees don't hit anything)

dislike: agree, small dash numbers, no way to turn off BLDs

Like: Still love the boxy unique look of my Pat even after 4 years. Nothing on the road even comes close

Dislike: The cheap components used throughout the vehicle. I would easily have spent an extra $1,000 for a higher quality Patriot.

year: 2008
Likes: the AWD (4x4) how i have yet to get stuck even in 2 1/2 feet of snow
dislikes: gas mileage compared to how much power it has, the leaking sunroof ( finally got sick of it and sealed w clear silicone, the p1607 code i have that comes on and then is stored in memory and the garage cant seem to find the cause and mostly the CVT not sure if the 4x4 model comes in 5 speed but wish i would have got a 5 speed!!!

even with all my dislikes I still wouldnt get rid of it

Favorite: 4x4, GPS, climate control, sub woofer, smaller wheel radius, easy to drive/park

Least Favorite: Fuel economy should be better for such a small engine. Overall feel on the inside. Very cheap seats, uncomfortable drivers' seat, door panels, rattling after only 3000Kms.

Favorites: The Jeep look, gas mileage, 6 speed auto

Least Favorite: A week into my Patriot, I don't really have any

Likes: The simplicity, the raw driving experience, crank windows, lack of cruise control, the joys of a general purpose vehicle. General Purpose=GP="Jeep".
Dislikes: The fact that a transmission with gears was introduced to replace a perfectly good CVT, just to appease reviewers that don't know what they're talking about anyways, is an insult to the entire line. Also, the suspension could be improved to not squeak and need replaced every 30-35k miles, and I have an ever-so-slight drip down the hatch window during heavy rains.

Likes: Ability to buy a 4wd vehicle nicely equipped for around 20g.
Dislikes: Trying to figure out augmenting the look of the steelies. GF's Liberty has smoke grey colored steelies Jeep standard. Might paint that color go that route. No other complaint 'cept weak front end. If you go four wheeling, go slow in bumpy areas or you will be paying for an alignment.

Likes: The Looks! Inferno Red Limited with the bright trim and black door handles (kinda odd) and wheel and tire pkg, heated leather! Factory SiriusXM, fuel economy, seating position, the Jeep Look! Customer service from my purchasing dealer!

Dislikes: small fuel tank, cvt failure soon after purchase, cat con failure soon after purchase, knuckle busting oil changes with the skid plate... Soft brake feel, sometimes laggy throttle response, lack of 09 MY "standard features".

Year: 2013

Likes: Perfect size for what I need it for, price, and rides good on any road

Dislikes: Lack of aftermarket support, door mirrors are too big, fuel tank could be a little bigger, and fuel economy takes a hit in the hills and with headwinds.

Likes: the unique styling (reminds me of my 94 Cherokee), the fact that I get a 4x4 and great gas mileage for $20K, the ability to pick only the options I want, not 'packages' full of useless gadgets, and the simple fact that it's a Jeep.

Dislikes: My two prior Jeeps had the 4.0, so I was a little spoiled with the performance. But, I knew I was getting a 4-cylinder when I bought it and wasn't buying it for speed. Otherwise, my only other dislike is that I didn't buy it sooner.
