The Jeep Patriot - FWD 4dr Limited  very boxy exterior helps provide an extremely roomy, useful interior. The front seats have a more car-like position than Jeep's other models, but they command a good view of the road. Seating is also comfortable in back, with adequate legroom and plenty of headroom, though there's barely enough width to fit three adults across; up-level models get a reclining seatback. For cargo versatility, the back seats fold forward flat and increase the dimensions of the remarkably convenient, box-shaped cargo area. The front passenger seat can also fold all the way forward to act as a table or to make room for especially long cargo.

Sport and Limited trims are offered with either front- or 4-wheel drive. The Jeep Patriot - FWD 4dr Limited    includes all the safety equipment but is otherwise very basic-manual wind-up windows are standard-but it does include air conditioning, a rear defroster and a 4-speaker CD sound system. Limited models make a huge jump and pile on the comforts like heated leather seats, cruise control, keyless entry, an auxiliary power outlet and an upgraded sound system-in addition to 4-wheel disc brakes and alloy wheels.

The Jeep Patriot - FWD 4dr Limited  has a wider range of options than is expected from a vehicle that starts at well under $20,000. An especially noteworthy option is the ?UConnect tunes' system, which includes a 30-gigabyte hard drive for storage of music and pictures; the system can read CDs, DVDs or USB memory sticks. Another system called ?UConnect GPS,' optional only on the Limited, includes a hands-free phone interface and voice-activated commands, plus real-time traffic information for the navigation system.
