If all-season driving means you need power to each and every wheel, the Jeep Patriot with 4WD is a viable contender in the category. With enhancements to the drivetrain in 2011, Jeep’s Patriot has received the "Trail Rated" designation. Those living in Utah, however, should note that Trail Rated is not the same as "Boulder Rated." Avoid large, round objects at all costs.
If your ideal Jeep provides both off-road capability and long-lived durability, buy a Wrangler. Based on Chrysler’s Caliber platform, the Patriot is far closer to its econobox roots than anything emanating from Jeep’s main plant in Toledo.
