When is the Patriot due to be in dealers lots? They started making them 3 weeks ago, and it really has not been much in any news. The new Wrangler made news the day the testing production started. I think the Patriot will do much better sales than the Compass. Farout

As someone else mentioned the off road 4 wheel drive doesn't come with a manual. Don't understand why this is the case. The AWD does have a manual. CR tested the Caliber and it only averaged 22mpg with the 2.4 engine. If the Patriot weighs more, as I would expect with the 4 wheel transmission, mileage should be worse. Also the fit and finish wasn't that great nor was the noise.  I'm looking for an inexpensive vehicle with a manual 4 wheel drive low gear with average mileage and decent reliability. Not sure this exists. |

Replying to: farout (Sep 02, 2006 8:05 am) The Patriot will be marketed towards people who want an economical 4 cylinder vehicle with a maximum tow capacity well below the 5000 lbs capacity of the 6 cylinder Liberty. While the Patriot has an 'old school' square Jeep look, the Compass is for those individuals who want something more stylish, modern and 'rally car' inspired.

Replying to: slingshot80 (Sep 05, 2006 3:14 pm) An inexpensive, not too low mileage manual with low range would be the outgoing jeep wrangler 4cyl model. I don't think the new one has a 4 cyl because its quite a bit heavier.
