I Purchased a Patriot last night but it seems that its hard to find the red so im not sure how long I'll be waiting. Im very pleased with the price i paid. I was debating the 4x4 option and decided that since i dont do any off roading and it only snows like a handfull of times now a days, that the added weight and money wasn't worth it. I found after the test drive that it was very comfortable inside i like the low roof styling they took from the Chrysle 300, nice touch. After pulling a few teeth they gave me what i wanted for my trade in. So i am currently very anxious to drive my new vehicle!

Welcome to the club. The waiting sucks. Did you get an estimate on how long for delivery?
I was told 8-10 weeks and mine came in 5.
I hear there is a long wait though for Canadian Orders.

I was told that there were 2 reds in Ontario one had $3000 dollars more options compared to mine. And the other red is a 5spd which the family doesnt want. I have a Trans Am WS-6 and a Kawasaki ZX-6R so it would be nce once and a while to just put it in drive and go. So either i ahve to mite the bullit and wait or choose a different colour and i'll have plenty of options. So maybe silver.

The dealer where I ordered mine had a silver. It looked a little cheap IMO. The silver looked a lot better online than in person.
Of course, that is just my opinion.

Actauly i found a silver one on google an actual pic not like the ones on their website and i liked it. The dealer where i bought mine had a green and white one. The white is nice but we know that will get dirty fast and the green didn't realy catch my eye like i thought it would. I just cant believe that the wait times are so long.

Rictus whats the reason for you wait?

Good news guys they found me a silver Patriot with a few more options than what i originaly wanted. Heated seats and a full size spare. Im happy about getting one with heated seats but the full size spare is something i could do with out. They were having trouble finding me a silver one as well so i aws just happy to know that i'm going to have my Patriot sooner than later. if i wasn't working late last night i would be driving her today but it looks like monday night i will be a proud owner.

Just wanted to share the good news!!!

Congratulation but I wouldn't be so sure about "global warming" and lack of snow in the future.But if you are driving to the mall and local friuit market you should be OK with the front wheel drive.

...but the full size spare is something i could do with out...This past summer, I had 2 flats on 2 occasions, and I swore that I would never ever ever buy another car without a full size spare. Driving on a highway with a "compact" spare tire is not a pleasant experience.

Got her last night, after driving her more than the bit , compaed to the bit did durring my test drive im liking it more. I found it realy smooth on the highway. Egine is very quiet and it's got some pep to it aswell. Since not many epople have heard about it, ive gotten some good reactions from friends that were seeing it for the first time.
