2015 | 4dr SUV 172-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
The front seats are uncomfortable. They are both crooked, leaning to the side, so you need a pillow to isolate your back from the side bolster on one side that digs into your back. The head restraints push your neck forward and are not removable for adjustment. The driver's seat could use a height adjuster ( apparently available as an option on some models ). see full Jeep Patriot review |

Even tho there are rear seats, I would never ride in back, too small back there. see full Jeep Wrangler review |

It has the ability to go back and forth but not tilt the base seat. Firm but not being able to adjust the angle (like electric 10 way) makes a difference for tall and full frame people. I will be looking to adjust angle asap. see full Jeep Wrangler review |
