They said that the Patriot is struggled with merging and passing. Although auto critics welcomed the Patriot’s suspension and steering,  and thought that it was a great off-road package with the option of 4-wheel drive available, they also said that it is not as capable as the 2010 Jeep Wrangler. The Patriot gets good fuel economy up to 23/29 mpg city / highway, and safety scores are also good for the same  class. However, the Reliability of the Patriot is below than other SUVs.

The 2010 Patriot’s interior  has been well appreciated by the critics when it was new. Although most commentators like that the Patriot has improved the material  quality, compared to previous models, they also noted that it is much less refined than other vehicles, like the 2010 Honda CR-V. The reviewers felt that the front seats are adequate, but did not like the Patriot’s hard  back-seats, flat and with little support for the thigh. With the rear seats folded, the Patriot has 54.2 cubic feet cargo space, which is a little low for the class. However, the evaluators appreciated Patriot’s washable floor mats and available  folding  speakers for tailgating.
