Hi all, I'm new here. As been new, I need a 4x4 vehicle that is not going to cost me an arm and a leg. I have 2 toddlers so the vehicle must have enough space for all their stuff (Which is a lot).
I was looking at getting one of the following:
2014 Jeep Patriot 2.5l Limited Manual or
2012 Jeep Cherokee III 2.8CRD Limited auto AWD
Thanks
Only personal opinion, so take it for what it's worth:
Skip the Patriot; it and the Compass of the time were essentially disposable vehicles. This did improve as time went on, but 2016 is about as far back as I'd want to go on one.
Re: the Cherokee III (KK Liberty in North America): I have zero experience with that model as a diesel since they weren't sold in this part of the world. However, if you plan on doing any sort of towing, they'll be a massive improvement over the Patriot in that regard. More useable cargo area as well.
