GL. Try to get a well equipped 4wd, power group etc. for around 20,000. Most of us on the site paid around that figure and some paid even less. Sunroofs have leaked on Pats in the past be careful. If there are 2013s left, you will have a CVT tranny. 2014 has 6 speed tranny. FD2 Pats are hard to find. Try to get 17 inch rims not the steel rims. I prefer the tan interior, make sure you look at all interior choices. My Pat has all disc brakes, some Pats come with disc/drum.

My Pat is the the very inexpensive Sport 4x2. We have another 4x4 so went for good gas mileage. The Pat is a great color, cheap to buy ($13,000 incl. tax lic.), fits me (I'm 6'4"), is a hoot to drive, and gets a constant 26 MPG in the city. Only down side so far...little low end torque most people kill it 3-4 times before the get used to starting out at around 1300 rpm. No power anything, no air. No towing capacity. This mini SUV is really old school but unless I'm driving over three hours or its over 90 I would rather drive it than my fully equipped Envoy (leather and air are hard to compete against).
