Aus Patriot
New Member
Hello all,
I hope you are all well.
I'm from Perth and we love the great out doors that WA has to offer.
We have been trying for the last 6 months to decide what 4x4 or soft roader to purchase. I can tell you it was not an easy task since the market is full of vehicles.
We needed a vehicle that was:
Fuel efficient for my 100km round trip from home to work as a daily driver and something that could be loaded up with gear to get us to some camping spots.
I'm not interested in rock crawling or anything heavy duty like that, just wanted a vehicle that could allow us to explore WA at a reasonable fuel costs. So a diesel was on the cards which made the list much shorter.
So today we traded our 2006 VW Jetta TDI for a Jeep Green Limited MK Patriot CRD. I fell in love with this vehicle as soon as I saw her. The test drive was great. Actually before going on the test drive I told the sales guy that I wanted to drive the vehicle for at least 40min to get a feel for it.
The CRD 2.0 is the same engine as the 2.0 TDI Jetta that we are trading in. And 51000km in 23 months she had surved us great so I'm hoping the Patriot will do the same..
Now the hardest part is waiting 10-14 days for delivery
So if anyone sees a Green Patriot around the Port Kennedy area plse waive
Talk to you all soon.
