Hey everyone I just bought a 2010 Jeep Patriot. The dealer I worked with brought it to the house left if for me to test drive it as they took my 2004 Isuzu Ascender back to look it over.

This led to a three or four day talks about the Patriot. They called and worked out a deal with me and brought the paper work to me along with the Patriot and a full tank of gass.

The night they brought it to us they where calling for snow up to 8 inches. The next day it snowed all day and I didnt want to go out until today. The things drives good in four wheel and two wheel in the snow.

My Ascender had trouble in two to three inches of snow getting into our driveway. The Jeep no problems at all in two wheel going in or out. Also no problems in four wheel drive.

The thing drives good on the ice and snow we have and hitting the ruts in the road didnt throw us around inside the cab of the Jeep like it did in the Ascender.

Im going to do a review about the Patriot for my blog and youtube channel later this week. I will also talk about the dealer and the sells person as they treated me better then great.

Here is a picture of the Patriot. I will get more later on and who knows I may drive around in the yard and paly in the snow.

Hey Nice Pat!! & nice pic!! You have just the weather for a Pat. Dont forget it'll just swap from 4x2 to 4x4 on its own so on many occasions you will never know what drive its in. Unless you have really deep snow you wont even have to bother with the 4x4 lock handle. Dont forget to post up a pic of that Coronet sometime when the weather Improves.......Cheers!!

Hey thanks guys and yeah it did well in the 8' of snow we have. We have a little incline that ever four wheel drive we have owned has had trouble to go over. The Patriot had none and shocked us for the size and weight.

The Coronet I dont have any good pictures of it as its torn down and in pieces lol waiting to be finished for the restoration.

I thought this Patriot had fog lights but it didnt now I need to look to add those later. I hope to get some more pics and video soon, maybe a sun roof video view lol.

Hey thanks and oh im not saving it for better weather thats for sure. I took it out a bit today and played for a few and that was it.

I have stiches in my lip or I would be out in the weather more lol. Thats why I didnt feel much like cleaning it once then again or I would have been in it while it was snowing.

Hey tell me what it means North Addition and great looking Pat and great color.

I need to get fog lights I thought this one had them on it the other day when I test drove it but I guess not, no big deal add later.

I hear we have another storm coming in and it looks to be a three day storm this time.......oh man winter isnt done with us yet.

I also need to get new Dont Tread On Me decals, zombie decals and a few others but I hate to put anything on that shinny blue paint.

Here in Canada we have a "North Edition"... I think it's only the name of a common package you have down in the USA.... 25E if I remember well. That just throws in a bunch of options. Love my ride! :banana:

Oh wanted to add one more thing on the Pat that caught me off guard. I didnt know it had the drivers seat adjustment to go up and I tried to move the seat back today and it raised lol caught me off guard. I like the feture on it.

Hey R.E.M ours I think are optioned to be twins great looking Patriot man.


:pepper::banana::pepper::banana::pepper: <----thats me driving with the tunes and sun roof open even in the cold at 16 degrees today.

Hey Earthworm51 you have a great looking Pat as well. No this is a new 2010 with 51 miles on it.

The tags where done by the dealer ship. Here in VA (not sure of other states) they have a main line to the DMV. They just do the tags, taxes and transfer to the new car.

It was the same price if we would have done it or if they did the only differnce is I didnt have to stand in line at DMV.

Good eye and good question as Im not sure how many states do this.

This could be the "Official Blue Patriot" thread! :smiley_thumbs_up:

HAHA this could be an all BLUE pic thread that is true.

I will be going on a small road trip tomorrow that is a bit of highway and city. I cant wait to hit the highway and see how it performs out in the open.

My mom and just said we may need to hit the market this week as the snow storm looks like it may be bigger then the last one and may be like the one before this.

Christmas time we had two feet of snow man I wish I had the Patriot then.

I think I will take my video camera tomorrow and try and do a review on the Patriot and what I think of the highway and city driving.

I need to do a review for my blog and youtube channel on the Patriot.

Hey all thanks and great looking Patriots. These are fun little SUVs and get a lot of attention. I talked to my insurance people and my insurance went down lol.

Yeah the dealer was great and the sells lady was awesome really good person and no pressure.

Tell us about the color wars? Im not sure if I have seen many Patriots on the road here and if I did I didnt know it was a Patriot.

My mom likes the white color SUVs and me I like any color but wanted something different then white and red. I have had a red Avenger and Rodeo and then a white Ascender and the blue Patriot just jumped out at me.

I like that green those look really good. I like the orange color as well, man Im glade they only had two to chose from and one was silver and the Blue one.

It wont be long till I hit the road about 20 min and Im off it will be a half hour drive nothing more but still fun to get out.

They just said we may get snow tomorrow and then Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
