New? Used? How old is your car?

The Patriot is an affordable vehicle. That's about it (OK, it looks cool too). It has average reliability and you can expect it to be average at best. The gas mileage is about 23 mpg combined. Not impressive for such a little truck. That said, my wife loves hers.

The Mazda CX-5 is essentially the equivalent of the same year Ford Escape.

If you are considering a new Jeep. I would wait a year. Chrysler is probably going to release a new Compatriot (Probably with the Compass name because its easier to market world-wide) for the 2016 model year. If you are looking used, the last couple years with the 6 speed transmission are far superior to the CVT models.
