Hi all, I have been reading posts for past 3 weeks, found this a great site to hang out for Patriot lovers.
I am shoppoing for a car and came across Patriot in dealership (never paid attention to this car before), love the look, the utilities, features, and particularly 5 speed manual, which is hard to come by for a car with reasonable space and power. I have decided on North all season 4X4, 5 speed of course.
Two questions:
Wife said being a 46 young big boy, this would be too big a toy, should settle down on something like a camry, wondering what age group we are talking here driving 5 speeder.
Second question, I started off driving manual with no syncronizer years ago, so my stick skill (pardon the pun)is not a issue, but it has been 12 years since last time. I am now commuting to work on the infamous highway 401 about 40 minutes one way, any comment or similar experience?

I wouldn't be caught dead in a Camry... or any Toyota for that matter!
