Hey, All! 1 or 2 questions regarding the Patriot. But first - confession time. After being seriously burned by Ford and Chrysler, I have not owned, purchased or driven an American-made auto for over 35 years. For the last 15 years I have enjoyed a love affair with the Subaru Forester. But my current ride has 184k miles and needs to be replaced soon. The new ones are too
big, expensive, and gadgety for my needs, as are all the foreign offerings.
Enter the Jeep Patriot. There is very little info available for this car, and the "Official" test reports don't give it much credit. Since I only recently found out it exists, Chrysler doesn't do much to promote it. WEWA is absolutely overrun with Wranglers and Cherokees, and are they pricey! To get what I want, I would probably have to order. Simply, 4x4, manual trans, air conditioning and NO E-Gadgets! Some owners reports are quite positive, and Consumer Reports gives it an above average reliability rating. So, I invite anyone with a similar configuation Jeep Patriot to provide some feedback, positive or otherwise. Thanks in advance!
