PROS
Old school design appeal; can venture further off the beaten track compared to most SUV/Crossover rivals; spacious interior; and well equipped.

CONS
Not the most fun SUV in its class to drive; and not the most affordable SUV in its class either.

VERDICT
If the most extreme form of off-roading you are likely to encounter are dirt roads, or you were a fan of the original Jeep Cherokee, then the Patriot is right up your alley.
