Hi everyone,

Monday my fiance and I are going to test drive a Patriot 4x4. I am pretty sure we are going to buy one Monday night. I am looking forward to joining the Jeep family.

The Jeep I am looking at is the sport 4x4 with the E level package.

How does everyone like thier Jeep Patriots? I heard there were some plant issues which is the reason why these are hard to find.

Look forward to owning a Jeep soon.

We purchased our Patriot Limited 4 X 4, CVTII, Marine Blue, Leather Seats, on February 20. We've driven 1,000 miles in a mix of country gravel and paved roads and paved city and highway. Approximately 20% of the driving has been with part snow and ice conditions. 23 MPG average so far. The "fun to drive" factor has exceeded our expectations -- although it took us a while to become accustomed to the CVT. The interior spaces have proved to be very utilitarian. All in all, we couldn't be happier with our purchase. (We've previously driven primarily VWs and Audi's.) And last but not least, our dog (border collie/lab mix) is VERY pleased.

I hope your trip to the dealer goes well!

There are always problems that surround any new vehicle launch... Couple this launch with the fact that Belvidere is also building the Compass / Caliber at full speed while you try to introduce a new product and then you can imagine the possibilities... :)

I finally bought my Jeep. It took a few days for the dealer to find the Jeep because not many dealers here in Detroit have Patriots.
My fiance and I love the Jeep, the gas mileage is great, it is roomy inside for the kids, has decent cargo room and we are looking forward to hitting the trails soon.

I am proud to have now joined the Jeep Family.

Welcome to the Jeep family. It's a Jeep Thing, You WILL Understand.
