Have had the patriot for 2 years and is by far the best vehicle that I have owned, 4 Dr, 4x4, cruise...great for alberta winters!

One of my fist cars was a 2 Door, 69' Valliant, Auto, Slant 6. I have never had a car that got such great mileage on a full tank it would go an easy 1000km to a tank if not more, although it wasn't all that pretty on the outside the reliability and mileage more then made up for it. One of my biggest regrets is selling when I did. Would have loved to "fix it up"...maybe one day.

I have learned to do the research before you buy a car. The Chev. Optra has Metric & Standard , parts can be expensive and the labor...wow I literally paid $150+ for a $2.50 fix. The car also has a "hallow" noise, there is very little sound barrier...not my favorite vehicle, miss my mustang. But that's one mans opinion.
