Well my 2007 patriot I bought new 8-28-07 has joined the 200, 000 mile club. Overall still the best vehicle I have ever owned. I have replaced 3 sets of tires on set 4 right now, 1 brake job, 1 set of struts, 2 sets of sway bar end link's, 1 wheel hub and cv joint, 1 altenator, 1 timing seal, 1 intake manifold and numerous oil changes. Overall I must say im very happy with my patriot and I hope to see another 200, 000 from her.

Because the CVT makes the Riot sound like an angry vacuum cleaner...

I agree with you! But the 4cylinder with a CVT transmission sounds a little different than my GMC Sierra did. Although, I don't miss the 14 miles to the gallon I was getting...

Looks amazing!
My 2007 was also purchased in August and at 80K miles I still have my original lower control arms, and no suspension noises to boot!

@BeanPole, I'd like to put your post in neon lights for all those CVT detractors out there!

Im not quite sure what you mean
A lot of people have not had good luck with the CVT transmission. I think the root of the problem is that the CVT requires more frequent maintenance than the schedule in the owners manual. My first CVT didn't make it to the first scheduled service. Typically I suggest that people change the fluid and filters twice as often.
So when I see someone that has had good luck with their transmission, I like to be sure everyone knows. Really, I think most people are happy with their Patriots, but forums like this attract people with problems.
