First post and hello to all!

Bought the jeep a couple of weeks ago and so far it's met and exceeded my expectations.

We were previously Caliber owners and the Jeep is a couple of notches by far better:

+ Jeep Suspension
+ Windshield Visibility

Although I do miss the Caliber's 25mpg (2.0L CVT) in the city... I've still yet to breakin the 4x4 currently getting 21mpg City

Oh and this forum has been very helpful, lurked on it lots of times before making the purchase.

EDITED: (PICS)

(Afer Car Wash)


(Antenna Mast Mod)

Who you callin' stubby? j/k .. got it from local Canadian Tire $10.

I've got to put some mud flaps for the rear tires too... that hatch area get's sooo dirty even after a week of driving!

------------------

Tasha125 yes you are correct indeed... Patriots do look better after car washes.

-------------

Simon - Caliber was traded in...was only a base SE model with CVT.

plus we got a good deal with the 08 patriot.

I'll post up a comparison review soon between the Caliber and Patriot

patriots sure look pretty after car washes don't they? maybe my love for patriots is making me biased though... :D

as i say to many newbies... welcome to jeep land!
