Any Jeep Patriot owner here?

[DrunkWhenSober]

Thinking of buying a used one. Is it worth it?

Jeep are garbage.
The only thing worse than a Jeep is their customer service.

Ever owned a domestic before?

Do you enjoy random breakdowns, or things working intermittently; or fucking off into the rhubarb because the steering is a bit loose, electrical gremlins, powertrain failures, etc...

I mean, the quality has always been questionable when it comes to a domestic vehicle, but back in the day when no one knew any better it was assumed that was normal - and you worked with it by maintaining the vehicle regularly. Nowadays, there's options out there that are much less exciting but reliability is worth being a bit "boring".

Terrible vehicles. Prone to every failure, possible. I spit on Chrysler products...ptooey.

I kind of like the looks of the Jeep gladiator, reminds me of the original Jeep half tons, forget what they were called. Saw one driving down the street a few years ago, I have seldom seen such a rusted out vehicle.

While I love the look of Jeep Wrangler and Patriot, I probably have to be smart and not give in to temptation. Also did some research and yeah, they look good but that's about it. Pass

I got no time for any American auto.
If I could find a 100 ft pole, I still would not touch a, Any Chrysler b. Any Ford c. Any GM.Chev.
Only way I would own any one of those (very briefly) is if I won them in a lottery or something. I would sell it as soon as I got the keys.

I am totally sold on Toyoto and/or Honda, in no particular order. My present and last three cars were Japanese and I love them.

European cars are highly overpriced, if not overrated.

Heard many, many things.
People buy because of price, but the old adage
‘You get what you pay for’ rings very true -

The first car I owned was domestic: Pontiac.
Lesson learned - It was the last US car also. Crap reliability, crap features. Ever since I’ve been a Toyota lifer with a brief VW fling (m’eh) and a Nissan tryst (not bad).

Hey. If you like this car, why not. I think you can find both good and bad reviews about it. Personally I like Jeep, but my favorite is Grand Cherokee. By the way if you have a car and you want to buy one more, I can recommend also to buy pressure washer, very good tool to keep your cars clean. Also check these terms you should know before washing, quite useful info! Good luck!
