Hi everyone! I'm also a new Patriot owner from Saskatchewan, as of February 7. I wanted an '07 because of what you see lit up on my avatar. Had to get it trucked in from Alberta though, which took a few weeks, but it was worth the wait! My sales guy said they never brought one in before in Marine Blue. Could be a while then before I see another one in this 2007-only color.
On its first highway trip it endured -29°C temperatures and -45°C windchills. The heater stayed hot, and so did the heated YES seats. Very smooth and responsive CVT going down and up the Qu'Appelle River valley.
Last Wednesday was the biggest snowfall day of the winter so far, about 7 inches. Of course I had no trouble going though that much snow. So a Jeep CAN take away some of the winter blahs!
Thanks to all the forum writers for all the stuff I wouldn't have known from anywhere else. And thanks to my sister for having a broken ignition lock cylinder on her Dodge Shadow. If I hadn't gone to the dealer for that repair I wouldn't have wandered over to the lot outside and caught the Patriot "bug" that's lasted 4 1/2 months now!
