Hello everyone. This forum is awesome. Lots of great info. I have been looking to buy a new SUV for the past couple of months and the Patriot is quickly rising to the top of my list. Everything I've seen about the vehicle has been good or great. I have even priced a fully loaded Limited and it is still reasonable compared to it's competition. :banana: I will be taking one for a test drive soon and will probably buy one shortly after. :pepper:

ya, ive tested a Limited 5 speed and am almost 100% into the Patriot. i just have to wait til a CVT comes in, so i can make my final decision. hope it has enough power to persuade me. the 2008 Ford Escape with 3.0L @ 200hp was nice... maybe the less weight on the Patriot will equate the 176hp up to reason.
