Hi all,

I am waiting for my Jeep Patriot to come in. I have owned three vehicles in my life... and my Patriot will be my third Jeep.

I had Wranglers previously, but decided to try something new this time. I unfortunately end up doing more long distance driving than off-roading... so I am trying something new.

I am pretty excited...its got a lot of good options, looking forward to the heated seats!

Welcome. It's always nice to hear from Jeep fans that are girls. Gotta lov'em!!

Welcome to the forum!!! What type did you get along with what options if you don't mind telling us. I am waiting for my Patriot to come in as well, and I am not taking the waiting well.

I know how you feel... having a difficult time with the waiting as well.

I got the Limited w/ Freedom I package. I can't understand why Jeep is even making 4 x 2 (I suppose to offer cheaper cars for some people but still... it is a bit of a sacrilege in my opinion). As much as I feel all jeeps should be manual, I had to go with Automatic this time unfortunately. I pretty much got all the options except: 9 speaker audio system, 6-disc changer.

I am also a little disappointed that it is only available in a 4CL--again its like getting a 4CL, automatic Wrangler... it shouldn't happen. Perhaps I am a bit of a Jeep snob, and I apologize to any that might offend... just MHO which doens't mean much in the real world.

I hope the 4CL doesn't let me down in limited off roading. I know FD1 isn't train rated but I want to atleast take it off the road even if it is trail running.

Welcome! I agree 4x2 is sacrilege! You're not a Jeep snob the Patriot should have a diesel option! :D

'THIS IS NOT MY HUSBAND'S (http://www.allthingsjeep.com/atj30190.html)/BOYFRIEND'S (http://www.allthingsjeep.com/atj30191.html) JEEP!' :D

I don't know about diesel...but its nice to be able to speak those opinions without others bashing me for them! My husband doesn't drive manual... so I had to get an automatic in case he ever needs to drive it.

I was considering the FDII package... but I don't get that much serious off-roading in to need 4WD low and the $$ unfortunately is always a factor!

do you mind letting us know what your out the door price was..if not thats cool.. just wondering how different from msrp

I'm not quite sure right now. A very close friend happens to work at a Jeep dealership... so I usually can get a discount, but since these are brand new, I may not.

I actually just heard from him... mine will be the first one his dealership sells... ship date of 2/7! It was supposed to take like 6 weeks...
