Considering my Grandpa sold his Silverado to my cousin (who recently turned it over) and sold my Grandma's Cobalt to me... That puts him without a vehicle. The day I bought the Cobalt off of him, he replaced it with a new vehicle after I gave him a ride. He wanted something with AWD/4WD and that was easier to get in and out of than the Cobalt. His purchase:

Nice color. Since you're picky with the interiors of cars, how is this new interior in the Patriot? I haven't seen one in person yet. Take more photos of it too.

Design-wise, much better; Material-wise, equal or better than my Cobalt, but that's not saying much at all.

Well at least he picked the cooler of the two faux Jeeps. I like that color, I hope he has fun with it. Does he like to go mudding?

I wonder if they sell lift kits for Patriots?

Is it an AWD model at least?

Oops!

How's the CVT?

I'll bet that would look spunky with 30", knobby tires on it, but I'm sure Viper's grandfather is happy with it as is.

I recently drove a Caliber with the CVT, very weird. I much prefer an automatic with stepped gears, kinda like the 4 speed in the Delta cars. Of course, a manual is much more fun in a small car than any automatic.

Yeah, I'm not a CVT fan. Especially in these cars. It really sucks what little power there is out of the engine.

I wonder if that lift kit can be made to work on a Neon. I'd love to see a 2nd gen Neon with the same wheel gaps as a Cobalt.

Probably not without serious modification, since the Neon is on a different platform than the Caliber/Patriot/Compass.

I'd still like to own an SRT4 someday.

Close enough

You can do anything with a little determination and money.

I haven't driven it, myself.

Know what I just realized? The Patriot looks a lot like the Trooper.

Looks more like a Cherokee to me. Although I like Cherokee better.

The Patriot is pretty sharp, much better looking than that sorry excuse for a Jeep Compass.

Not bad....
