: No Pats in the GTA???
JĘGER 01-14-2008, 11:32 AM I don't know if it's so in other parts of Canada, but i would assume that in a city like Toronto one would see at least some Pats, sprinkled here and there from time to time...BUT NO!!! To be honest i haven't even seen one Pat so far and i have been on the look out!!
It's all about them Liberty cars :(
I know the Pat is still a new model but for crying out loud i would want to see at least one ;). It's like an endangered species. Well, on the positive side of things i`m the only one with a Pat :) I FEEL SPECIAL :pepper:
I was wondering if other peeps have or had the same experience in their neck of the woods?
i'm in the GTA as well.... before i got my pat... i didn't see any on the road... now that i have it... i see at least one a day on my drive to work... then again.. it could be the same one and just happen to have the same morning route as me to go to work... hehehehehe...
JĘGER 01-14-2008, 12:51 PM So from this week on, you might be seeing a second Pat on your way to work ;)
charlimc 01-14-2008, 02:23 PM I see four of five per day in Saint John NB. In fact I see more Patriots than Compass(s)
quasimodem51 01-15-2008, 07:15 PM I see about 1 - 2 Pats a day now. When I was in Huntsville just before the New Year, I saw 5 (6 counting mine) in just one afternoon. Yes each one was a different colour so I wasn't seeing the same Pat twice :)
They are slowly becoming more popular but I see the 08 Liberty more and more too.
Keeping Fingers Crossed 01-15-2008, 07:29 PM I'm in Markham, and I've seen a red one booting around once in a while. usually along Denison Ave. I can never make eye contact with the driver because it's been driven by a white knuckle driver whos eyes are always glued to the windshield, and hands are cemented in the 10 and 2 position.
Anybody out there fit that description?
patnorth23 01-15-2008, 07:58 PM I have seen the odd one. Keep looking for mine. It is in TO about three times a month.
ttilley 01-15-2008, 09:07 PM I'm in Bulington and am seeing more of them each day.
Looks like there is lots of Patriot.com memberts in the GTA.
We should get a meet going.
trainerbyday 01-15-2008, 11:45 PM I'm in downtown Toronto and I've got the only white Patriot on the road that I know of. I have seen more than a handful of others including black, green, red, blue, and khaki.
quasimodem51 01-16-2008, 08:30 AM I'm in Brampton. I am an old coot in a white Limited. Problem is there is another old coot in a white Limited in the Brampton area as well. We passed each other in the Rona parking lot one day. Two baby boomers with beards in identical vehicles. Scary. I am the excruciatingly good-looking one of the two mind you.;)
You will see me tooling around Brampton, Mississauga near Credit Valley hospital, Streetsville, Rexdale, along the 407 between Brampton and Yonge St. and in the Yonge/Steeles area when I visit family. Honk if you see me.
hmmm... GTA meet.. sounds like fun... when and where count me in... i guess we should wait for the spring though as it's still freaking cold right now... and it's sooo hard to keep the pat clean and shiny right now...

Haha I know what you mean. I've been washing it at least once a week just to keep all the salt off.
And quasimodem, thumbs up for the Stone White :smiley_thumbs_up: I find it's a great colour for coots of all ages!
I have white one too!
I see a few patriots on the DVP every day but but not very many.
If you seem me I have the white north with the black muffler and a hitch.
Just like quasimodem I am also rather spectacularly handsome.:D
Cheers.
Brian P 01-16-2008, 11:50 PM I live and spend most of my time in Mississauga. Green Limited. Honk if you seem me too.
Quasi, I'll keep me eyes open for ya, I go to Brampton from time to time.
Looks like there is lots of Patriot.com memberts in the GTA.
We should get a meet going.
GTA meetup, Hell ya!
JĘGER 01-17-2008, 05:46 PM I live in Mississauga also! So, you will see me most likely around Square One or speeding on Dundas going Westbound "trying" not to be late for class. Honk, if you see a black shadow pass by...that is IF you see me ;)

Were you parked at the Canadian Tire on Dundas around 4:15 eariler this week, I think tuesday?
JĘGER 01-18-2008, 03:31 PM I wish i would...i`m going through the final round of negotiations...
kaushen79 01-19-2008, 05:26 PM I live in Milton and do the Monday - Friday commute to Toronto. I have a 2008 North Edition Sunburst Orange (SBO). On any given day I see 2 or 3 Pats, but so far haven't seen another SBO around.
Anyhow, honk if any of you see me driving around....I normally do the 403/427/401. and on weekends I'm all over S. Ontario...Milton, Oakville, Mississauga, Brampton, Rexdale and Toronto.
gamer 01-29-2008, 12:40 AM i live in toronto, mid-town, drive my black pat every day of the week, for the past 8 months. i've seen a lot of pats, and there's once another pat driving in front of me, for about 20 minutes.
there are a lot pats in gta!
JĘGER 01-29-2008, 11:38 PM Now that i have my Pat, I have turned uber sensitive to everything that looks, smells, feels or even sounds like a Patriot. Although, I had only seen one Black Pat in my neck of the woods, Mississauga, i have noticed that people who have an above average interest in cars tend to look a bit puzzled when seeing my Pat.
Mind you in a positive way, but its a "refreshing" experience when the driver tries to recognize the particular model and gives you a 2 thumbs up nod when he/she is finished with the look of all inspiring awe ;)
Hope to see you people in and around TORONTO.
Peace
patnorth23 01-30-2008, 08:17 PM I certainly will honk. I am usually using the 407 going to the east end of TO.
Kelland 02-09-2008, 02:07 PM KFC I also live in the Markham area, just picked up my pat 2 days ago ... its silver. i'm on the ninth line/407/404/steeles area
Keeping Fingers Crossed 02-09-2008, 03:41 PM Ok,,Kell....Im @ Steeles and McCowen..but travel the 407/404 Route daily.
What dealer did you get yours at?
DreamingJeep 02-09-2008, 04:27 PM KFC and Kelland, I'd like to know where you both got your Pattriots from. I'm looking and leaning towards a Patriot but am afraid of the Service. Sister had a TJ a few years back the service from the local Dealer wasn't all shall we say..... great. I'm in Markham in the 9th line and Hwy 7 area.
Keeping Fingers Crossed 02-09-2008, 05:38 PM I got mine @ Bob Bannerman in Don Mills...
word of warning.....DO NOT GO THERE!!!.
Tho I have not been ripped off, nor have i ever had any issues with service, it seems like they constantly need pushed by myself for them to step up to the plate and do the right thing. (For the purpose of good customer service.) If you don't stay on top of promises they make, especially @ the sales level, then they try to fly under the radar.They had some small deliverables that didn't happen when I picked up the vehicle, so they needed constant follow-up and reminding.
I see theres a Chrysler dealership up @ McCowen and 7, but I can't comment on what they are like. Going forward I'm thinking of trying them for service related issues, just as an experiment.
Kelland 02-09-2008, 07:05 PM My package was the 24E. Auto, 2.0L (so I can get the $1000 off from the eco Auto Rebate program from the government)
The total sale price before taxes was 19071.01.
Freight 1300
Federal Air Conditionder Tax 100
tax for fuel consumption 75
Total Vehicle price 20546.02
pst 1643.68
gst 1027.30
Total purchase price was 23217 on the road. I BET YOU NOBODY CAN BEAT THIS PRICE!!! I got this at the scarsview dealership ... you have to speak with clark craig and mention my name to get the deal.
*Heres my story* I spoke with at least 50 salesmen through the phone and wasted countless hours/months at dealerships .... 99% of them are *snakes* ... then I met *superman* aka clark craig ... he gave me a quote over the phone and stuck to his word.
as for service, i just picked up my car 2 days ago ... i am not planning to use the dealer for service.
