Very nice I have a Jeep also and really love it. The only problem I have is the people the way in the winter time when they think the roads are bad.
What is their problem?

Bad roads are when you get at least 2" per hour.

Always liked the jeeps. I had an 84 that I never put the doors or top on. Just like a giant go cart with the breeze in your hair! But the gas mileage was terrible.

We had a 2.4 PT Cruiser for a while. Crap on fuel for the size of car
In contrast, my Dodge Ram 1500 (5.7 Hemi) is SOOO much better.
I lie ...
Actually, thinking back, seriously the Dodge isn't much worse!! 
Both were still set at US mpg but I'm sure the PT was getting 18mpg the Ram is showing approx 16mpg (UK about 19mpg) round town.
I'm quite pleased with myself today, got the Ram reading 23mpg (70mph on the motorway with cruise set).
I need to fit LPG and soon!!

I leased a 14 Patriot with the 2.0 and the Nisson CVT trans, hated it. This time I got the 2016 with the 2.4 and a 6 speed auto with 4x4 love it, completely different driving experience. Great ride for a low low price!!
