Need advice on what Jeep to buy

[Erralin]

Hi community, I'm new here. 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

The Cherokee is much larger than the patriot so if those are the only options I would go for one of those. Neither is really particularly good for offroading but if you are actually in the UK its not likely much a factor for you. I guess the question would be what you plan to do with it and how is the parking situation in your area. the Patriot is much more comparable to a smaller vehicle commonly seen in the UK and is more nimble for city driving. The Cherokee will be larger and taller and offer better visibility in traffic...

We just bought a Grand Cherokee limited and so far I have no complaints.

We have a 2018 Compass for our "normal" driving. So far it seems to be a perfect fit for us. Feels like a slightly scaled down Grand Cherokee. Two car seats fit perfectly in the back seat.

Just yesterday I was able to haul 600+ (20 bags) lbs of topsoil which stacked entirely in the back behind the rear seat (I wish my Wrangler had that kind of room!).

I started my life in a 2000 Grand and loved it. With the children, any of the Four-Door options would be a good choice. If you're looking to go Truly off-road, JKU, JLU, or JTs would be a good choice...
