New Patriot

[glend]

Fairly sure that CRDSTU has developed a lift kit for the Patriot.

I don't really care about fuel economy that much. Today I drove from Newcastle to Sydney and back and average fuel ranged from 9.1-10.8.

Didn't they drop the CRD from the patriot line up recently??

Compass, out side temp and a now massive 469Ks on the clock.


You can clearly see the back factory tint is so much darker then front.

Hello All

New to being an owner of a Patriot (still waiting on delivery to be exact) and was curious as to what others thought about the vehicle. Not had much experience with the Jeep brand nor do I know anyone to pick their brains over it. So lucky forum is my outlet for asking silly questions.

What you getting, Sport or limited. CVT or manual. Petrol or diesel. Tell us about yours.

I had one yesterday for the day. Pretty comfortable car. Still built like a Jeep, had to hit the door trim to clip it back together as it popped apart when i closed the door, lol.

Was a 2.4L 5spd. Engine is a turd, IMHO. Gearbox is easy enough to use but gear ratios are long (only a 5spd, but has a lower than usual 1st and a much higher than usual 5th).

I think if looking at a Patriot, get the diesel. Don't be a tightass the diesel is a VW donk and is guaranteed to be a nicer drive than the petrol which I also think would get thirsty very quickly if not babied about like I was yesterday.
