Picked up our new FDI Limited 5sp this last weekend. :banana: We bought from a dealer in the foothills after driving both a CVT and a 5sp up a potion of the highway that is 7.5% grade. I love the fact this thing will beat my 4.9 F150 up the hill.
Not only does the Riot rock, but the dealer/sales guy was easy to work with. I've always bought my vehicles private party, but Gene Tyrell at Go Jeep bent over backwards to find the 5sp Limited in Steel Blue we were set on. He couldn't get a blue one within 500 mi, but he found a green one and put a sunroof in it. We like the green more and more everyday. I never thought I would be so happy to buy a new car... or for that matter rave about how well the dealer treated us. As soon as the motor is run in it's off to the mountains!
I'm seeing more Riots on the highway everyday and now I know why.

hello and welcome!

i'm glad you're so happy with it, as most of us are! more and more people seem to be discovering how great these little jeeps are each day.

i bought mine in white, which was my first choice at the time, but now i really dig the green and wish i could change it ;) congrats!

Welcome & Howdy from Alberta. Your enthusiasm for the Pat is no surprise to us forum members. I love the green also...it's so distinctively Jeep...there isn't another shade that's close to it out there. The Pat'll come in mighty handy during those winter 'Colorado Avalanches' (as in the NHL team, lol). Happy Trails! :smiley_thumbs_up:
