"Logansteno: Bought a VW?" (logansteno)

I kinda like the Jeep Patriot.

I understand it's a Caliber on stilts with 4-wheel drive basically, but something about it appeals to me. Maybe the manual option on base models, or the stupid low price of entry. Something about it makes me like it, and I can't quite put my finger on it.

While it looks decent from afar, the closer you get, the worse it becomes
The interior is about as nice as a Turkish prison cell

Driven a few, they're not bad. I got one off the ground once, though, and that was terrifying.

Even in their own pictures that interior looks terrible.

One of the worst cars I've driven.

Helped push a nice lady out of the snow in one of these. I felt sick seeing just the front wheels move.

This. It's body conjures up images of the old Cherokee. But that is a check it can not cash.

She got FWD... on a Jeep... That has optional 4-wheel drive...

We're going to be seeing a lot of that with the Cherokee though.

Nothing is more terrifying off the ground than my van. Dear god 4800 pounds flying through the air is scary.

You don't understand how horrifically horrible the interiors in most of the cars I drive are... a Caliber would be an upgrade.

oh.
I'm so sorry....
I guess I'm used to soft touch materials, and high quality plastics in the Jetta and GTI

I like It, I've always liked jeep design. Except for the shitty rear passenger doors on grand cherokees. They piss me off. I'd never buy one though. But I like they're style.

Please do me a favor and just sit in a '99-06 GM truck. You'll understand what I mean.

And that's the second best interior of the cars at my house.

What wrong with the doors on the GC?

I sat in a '94 Silverado a few days ago, and that wasn't TOO bad

Only half the bottom is dooor. That cut out for the seat or wheel well or whatever it is makes it a hassle to get in and out. To me at least. Worst rear doors ever IMO

They went backwards.

I'm not kidding when I say I can rip the face of the dash off without much effort in my dad's truck.

Even some of the print on the radio buttons is crooked.

All around, they're great trucks, but everything except the seats in the interior is just... horrible.

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > Logansteno: Bought a VW?

New Cherokee? Yes. New Renegade? Yes. This? Well, at least it isn't the Compass.
