So, a SUV not normally on my radar is now somehow entered it...and the wife and son took a short trip in it with some friends, and really liked it. So, might have to consider one..know some stuff about these boys...
Cons: Dated platform..and handles like it. Usual FCA issues..granted-much less more now (10 years to figure it out). No resale value. Engines are noisy..and the P still reeks of last decade's cheapness...
Pros: Cheapest SUV out there..plus I get more discounts.
One of the few models you can still order about as naked as you want. Both engines good on gas. Can get the 6 speed auto instead of the CVT.
IF I consider one, it would be one with the Sport SE package with AC. Ordered with what I want-with discounts it's going to run about 10 grand less than other SUV's I'm considering. It's something I can pay off quite quick. Besides, I could care less about a touch screen or power windows.... It's something we can take on trips, scouting events, and keeping life simple..(less stuff on the truck I'd have to fix) But it leaves me with a few questions....
I need people who own one: What do you like/dislike about it?
How well does the CVT hold up? I try to take the best care of my trannies...well, I take good care of the car too....
While this will be mine, the Cobalt still gets DD duties, so this Jeep will live a pretty easy life(for the most part)...
Is it worth one last Jeep Patriot before they are gone?
