2015 Jeep Patriot Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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
