hello, just picked up my new patriot. Here in houston the 4x4 option was'nt a priority, just the gas mileage. White , 4x2, 2.0, Auto, Tan interior. Cant say i enjoy the CVT, it takes some getting used to. Feels like a jet ski power band, either on or off. I was driving a 2004 Wrangler X, what a drop in low end torque. Pro's -- gas mileage, can haul my son, pull a trailer. Con's --- funky trans, and thats it.

Welcome to the site! I bet in time you'll get used to the CVT but it can be strange at first for sure
