Reliability of a Jeep Patriot?

How reliable is a Jeep Patriot? 2008-2011 model range 2 wheel drive, automatic.

might buy a used 2010 from a friend 70,000 miles.

I know it's "how you take care of the vehicles and change what needs to be addressed"

But, realistically. Will it go to 200,000 miles?

my mothers 02 Chrysler minivan got up to 206,000 miles and my brothers 01 Honda civic is up to 221,000 miles and still going.

So, I would like to make it past 200,000 and join the family club, is it possible if i take care of it? In general is it a reliable vehicle?

Yes it is possible

Only thing I really see on those is the lower control arms and tie rod ends wearing out. Find it common for the small Jeeps such as the Patriot and Compass. Other than that they're fine.

  • Reliability: BMW X1 vs Acura RDX? I want to buy a new car, and am interested in getting a crossover or small SUV. The two cars that have peaked my interest are BMW X1 and Acura RDX. Which of these two cars is more reliable? I'm leaning towards Acura being the more reliable car (as Honda has a very good reputation in terms of reliability). However, I have never owned a German car, so I can't really compare through personal experience.
  • Honda CBR250R red line reliability? Heres the problem-how well built is the engine?-I have heard that the bike top speed is no more than 90mph but the reason I ask is because wether I get this bike or the CBR929RR am going to be riding around a lot especially long highway journeys. I would add a high air flow air filter and an exhaust system to the CBR250R so that would be a noticeable power increase for this particular bike I'm sure but IS IT OK TO KEEP IT CLOSE TO RED LINE FOR HOURS?
  • For the ultimate reliability to pack on many miles on a sports bike? I'm thinking Honda's CBR250R and CBR600F4i but is their any other bikes that you may know for extremely good reliability with fuel injection and in my budget of $3,000? -I really don't care if its a sports bike/cruiser/standard/ or even a scooter because riding is riding
  • Mazda reliability? Particularly 2013 mazda 3? I'm in the market for a new car and I was looking between 2013 Toyota corolla which is just boring and doesn't have as much features compared to Honda, or mazda. The Mazda 3 is at a good price 1000 dollars cheaper then the Toyota. So my question is, is Mazda reliable for that generation, or should I stick with a very well known reliable car maker?
