Hello from Northern BC. I'm a very junior member - my first post on any forum! - but at 60 definitely not a junior citizen. Just back from trekking near Everest and ready to continue my passion of exploring the canyons of the Southwest. My 25 year old Honda Accord is getting a little dicey for the likes of the Canyonlands Maze, so it is time for an adventure vehicle...my first Jeep.

Welcome to the board fellow Canuck - Nova Scotia here. Sounds like you got your moneys worth out of your Accord.

- I think the Jeep Patriot will be extremely popluar with Canadians.

Hi there! I'm from Donnacona, Québec. We will be seeing alot of patriots on the roads up here... Because of the brand, look & pricing.

I think PatriotFan is right that the Patriot will be popular in Canada. For starters, there are a large number of Canucks registered on this site. With Toyota deleting AWD from the Matrix, RAV4 owners having to rig their own guards to protect the fuel cannisters from being damaged even on paved roads, and the CR-V with reduced ground clearance, folks with challenging on-road and even modest off-road needs may find the Patriot a good alternative.

Yes,Mr. BC SILVER you will surely enjoy your Patriot.I have ordered mine.I have test driven it on maonday last week and ordered one immidiately even though I really wasn't ready to do it that day.I just loved the ride so much.
There is absolutely no competition to this Jeep.The money you pay and the extra value we get is unbelievable.I can't wait to get my Patriot .
Enjoy yours,you will be able to carry around lots of ropes and other climbing supplies.
