Thanks for this thread. I have always loved Jeeps and I am seriously considering one as my next vehicle. I am looking at the Patriot because I want something with a lot of room in the back area. I currently drive a truck, so I want some of that bed space in an SUV.

Is the ride of the Patriot more comfortable than a CJ from back in the day? Or maybe as comfortable as a truck?

What do you Jeep owners think of the quality of the vehicles over the past few years? Are you Jeeps reliable without lemon trouble or do you grin and bear it because of the Jeep name? Please let me know.

I’ve been a multi-jeep owner for 26 years.

I love the CJs and the Cherokees from ‘87 on.

The stuff they are presently selling is pure crap!

The Patriot, and Liberty are Front wheel drive, and cheap and flimsy. The Jeeps that made them a name really don’t even exist anymore. The toys that they make in place of the old CJ can’t even pass the Rubicon without help from sombody else’s winch! They are way too wide for off-road use; all hat and no cattle.
