The Jeep Patriot Looks Like A Winner

The Jeep Patriot looks like a winner. It offers features that will please anyone on the go.

The Patriot is a new type of Jeep, and is described as "meant more for the urban jungle: priced low, with fuel economy a priority."

You can get optional all-wheel drive for going off-road. Now you can see those trails leading up off into the hills and think to yourself, "I could go there." You don't have to stay on the boring paved roads if you don't want to. Go anywhere your heart desires. And be ready for any weather - rain, snow, sleet, ice. All-wheel drive will keep you going. I still like my 4-wheel drive option on my Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. When the streets are slick, I kick it into 4-wheel drive and I keep on going. Other drivers are slipping and sliding, trying to get going from the icy intersections. I'm thinking, "Do you need a push? I could get you going."

Or stick with the 2-wheel drive which comes standard on the Jeep Patriot for that traditional driving feel and the best fuel economy. Many SUV drivers buy off-road capability they never use. If you are a realist, and know you'll never need all-wheel drive, you have the choice, and choices are good.

The fuel economy is great for an SUV. The 2010 model is advertised at 28 Highway - Best-in-class MPG. Add a few hypermiling techniques and you can get that up even more, saving you lots of dollars at the gas pump.

The base price starts out at $18,425. For an SUV, that's not bad. You get a lot of convenience and usability for that price.
