2.0 CRD Limited manual - The Jeep Patriot was launched in the Summer of 2007, at the same time as the similar Jeep Compass. Both models come with the same choice of engines, although the more rugged-looking Patriot costs a £2k less and apparently appeals more to men, while the softer Compass is aimed more at women. I should like the Patriot, then…... read more
2-door and Unlimited 4-door - The bloodline of the latest Jeep Wrangler can be traced directly back to early World War II. These days it’s still a robust and purposeful workhorse, but it’s now available with four doors – four more than the original, and it’s substantially more refined than in decades past.... read more
2008 2.8 CRD Auto - An icon is back – Jeep has launched the all new Cherokee and its boxy design is also back. This will please the die hard Jeep fans as the previous generation was too much of a soft roader for their taste buds.

In the early 1940's, the US army put the word out to all automobile manufacturers that they were searching for a light reconnaissance vehicle to replace motorcycle and sidecar combinations traditionally used for messengers and advance reconnaissance. The General Purpose Vehicle, or "G.P." was nicknamed "Jeep" and a legend was born. 60 years later, the Jeep brand is globally recognised symbol of freedom and rugged adventure.

After some initial difficulty finding a comfortable driving position due to a combination of my height (6’ 2"") and the steering wheel adjusting for height only, I have been very happy with my Compass. The ride is very comfortable with the car sticking to the road like glue with virtually no roll when cornering. The suspension absorbs even quite major bumps with ease leaving everyone comfortable and relaxed on arrival. the 2.0l Volkswagen diesel engine has more than enough power both at lower speeds or when needing to accelerate beyond the legal speed limit on the motorway, only in the event of emergencies of course! With mixed driving I average 42 mpg which for a 4x4 I am more than happy with. All in all an excellent choice if you want an SUV without the major running costs of it’s larger cousins.

I’ve had the pleasure of owning my Patriot for a year now and love the car. I owned a Cherokee ten years ago and the Patriot attracted me back to Jeep. It looks good, drives well and is not by any means a sluggish 4x4. However, the huge plus is the VW made 2litre diesel engine. 44mpg is common on journeys away from town. A lot of critics slate the plastic interior but who cares? It has a great deal more charachter, road presence and better on and off road performance than most of the other vehicles in its class. Great buy, fully recommended.

I have become really attached to the Patriot. Very economical and practical with easy to clean interiors. Lives up to the just enough essential parts traditions. Holds the road well and love the rugged looks. Extremely reliable even after doing over 30 thousand miles this year. Love it and recommend. NB... just had first mechanical problem which meant I had to have a replacement vehicle. Really pleased to get it back today and to give back the Merc! says it all.

Traded in a Suzuki Grand Vitara for the Patriot. Feel the Jeep is better in most respects. Nice price, good economy from the diesel, plenty of power, comfortable and pretty nimble (even on Highland and Islands roads). Opted for the full audio pack, which is impressive. People tend to criticise the interior but I find it quite acceptable - and it cleans up easily (if you really don’t like it, I understand a re-vamped, and ’Europeanised’ interior will become available later this year). Rear visibility is slightly limited, but apart from this, I thoroughly recommend it.

In short: great car (or great SUV)! Absolutely recommended.

Good all round 4x4, powerful engine and also good off road. Nice 5 speed auto box and have had no faults after doing 63,000 miles.

We love it ! Chunky looks, smooth drive, easy to clean out inside after muddy booted children have climbed around inside it. Lots of toys with the cruise control, heated seats etc... We got the 9 speaker audio system with the car which sounds great. 44 mpg is attainable but you have to keep your right foot light on the pedal otherwise its 33 mpg which still isn’t bad for a large vehicle like this. It’s got some great overtaking power from the diesel engine even in 4th gear. I like its square looks, much better than the rounded off Rav’s and CR-V’s, you don’t see Land Rover Defenders getting curved edges and they are design icons.

Great car. Very comfortable unlike previous generation of Landrover Disco TD5. FANTASTIC engine -quick and responsive for such a huge car. Excellent audio system and all the necessary standard equipment. Only sat nav and bluetooth missing! No regrets with this car!

Fabulous acceleration for a 4x4. Had mine for nearly two years and love the confidence to overtake. Only one criticism - we tow a caravan and find the ride can be a bit bumpy on non-motorway roads. Have averaged 22mgp over the 20 months, but that does include a fair bit of towing.

A very capable 4x4. Unfussy and very powerful. We’ve recently driven ours to Italy and back and it made a long journey very enjoyable. Plenty of space for a family of 4 and good sat nav. I’m very pleased with my purchase and glad I wasn’t swayed by an over indulgent interior, found in many other competitors in favour of true 4x4 ability.

Proper looking 4x4, nothing girly about this one. Good price and relatively cheap to run. Decent drive on all terrain and good space. Dash a bit plasticy but well set out. Good safety. Very comfortable.

This car can handle anything offroad but doesn’t feel out of place on road. Simple interior but cheaper than rivals so well worth it.

I’ve just test driven this car and whilst it certainly has a lot of plusses: great safety features, lots of space and comfort, good equipment spec, I was not particulary impressed with the drive, seemed a little juddery at times and there were a few rattles on bumpy roads, not what I had expected. The resale value has also put me off so although I don’t think it’s a bad car I just don’t think this is the one for me.

The Jeep Commander offers a lot of car for your money. Mercedes-Benz V6 Diesel offers excellent performance. A bargain when compared to the Volvo XC90 2.4 D5 which costs over £7000 more. I leased mine.

The Wrangler just looks the business and it doesn’t disappoint behind the wheel. Loads of grunt and handles anything off road you care to throw at it. Brilliant fun to drive and comfortable enough for 4 adults. The handling on road takes a bit of getting used as does the engine noise at high revs but don’t let that put you off owning such classic car.

I fell in love with the Jeep Cherokee and although I test drove Landrover and Nissan this is the one that gives the best over-all package. True it isn’t the most fuel efficient 4x4 out there but the driving experience you get certainly makes up for it.
