Hey Canada! What type of Patriot do you drive?

[Talaber]

Ok everyone, I had tried this poll in the General Discussion forum, however, it was quickly pointed out that there are just waaay too many different types of Patriots to make this poll work. I can only set 25 different choices for the poll, and with all the trim levels and drive-train options, it quickly snow-balled past the 25 mark. So, to do this properly, I thought I'd start off asking what my fellow canucks drive.

What do you, oh glorious citizen of the beautiful country of Canada, drive?

great idea because as pointed out in your original thread the "do you own a Pat survey" has not been done for quite a while and many people first join during their investigation stage

You can see the poll results without voting in the poll.
Click "View Poll Results" at the bottom of the poll selections (to the right of Vote Now).

Cool, thank you!

Looks like the north edition is winning, although it's close all around. I would have never guessed there were that many different Patriots around.

Do the non North Editions have heated seats? I have been shopping for the perfect one for me all over the lowermainland in the last few months and this is definetly one of the better ones I could find in the colour I wanted except for the ohh-tens.. they are everywhere.

Well, after a very distasteful purchasing ordeal, I bought my new Patriot tonight and pick it up in 3 days. I'm wondering if I got a good deal and if others here experienced the same kind of b.s. that I did in trying to buy a Jeep. A couple of dealers wasted my time by promising a vehicle they did not have. One went so far as to take my deposit and sit on it for a week before admitting they didn't have the vehicle they promised to get me.

My Patriot is a 2010 North manual 4X4 with the 25E Quick Package and what they're calling a AL3 "North Special". The latter includes remote start, heated seats, steering wheel mounted audio, leather wrapped steering wheel and a few other little bells and whistles. I didn't really want all these options, but manual's are in such short supply that I think I got a good deal. Final total sale price was $19 805.00 before HST.

How'd I do....and what would you guys recommend for some good (but affordable!), snow tires?

Well, when I posted last, I have to say it was with some happiness. I was looking forward to picking up my new Patriot, but it seems I'm never going to own one because of Chrysler's lying salesmen.

The cheats at Raceway Chrysler promised to have my vehicle ready for me this week. On the day before delivery, they called to say they didn't actually have the vehicle we agreed on, and tried to up sell me to a more expensive and less well equipped 2011.

I might even have gone for it...if they just hadn't been so damned dishonest in the way they dealt with me. I had asked them to assure me that the deposit I was putting down was for a vehicle they actually had the VIN for and which they were sure was not sold and could provide. And they assured me they did have the vehicle. But in all honesty, I think they were unhappy with the agreed deal (see above), and decided not to give me the vehicle. Whatever was behind the machinations, it was very unethical.

I took back my deposit and bought a Subaru Forester, which was quite a bit more expensive than the Patriot. I wish you guys luck with your vehicles, but confess that my dealings with Chrysler left a very bad impression. They were utterly without class.
