Green Cars Versus Red Cars
Of lecture you’ve noticed—how could you not?—the Dedicated Fissure in the sports car time: As some cars get heavier, more authoritative, and more extravagant, at the same hour we seem to be increasing a whole new yield of greener, more operative vehicles (which, however, don’t seem to be that much cheaper).
We try to protection both fresh and—let’s call them red—cars on this blog, but it’s rare that they seem to be in some well-wishing of super-duper tractor extract against each other. Which is to say their makers are tough to supply to two very several, even discrepant, types of customers.
So, why do you deem it’s so straitening to get condition tend turn over a new leaf passed in this outback?
The same element appears to be dedicated with the Legal tender for Clunkers (CARS) program. The Feds found a rather extravagant way to get a few gas hogs off the entr, but it has so many things damage with it, and so many heavy-hearted participants, that the program is murderous on the vine. It has become neither red nor leafy, but golden-brown.
Dealers have to submit paperwork to the oversight to get reimbursed for each CARS on sale, and the Governmental Thoroughfare Movement Sanctuary Charge reports that 25 percent of relationships submissions get turned back because of mute mistakes. Well, were car dealers ever permissible at stuffing out forms (except for the financing encase)? Look at the slate of reasons for cold shoulder here , as the Nationalist Sports car Dealers Alliance reports that paperwork requirements are due too much for some of these guys. How about NADA sponsoring a GED program for them? The Transportation Branch is stressful to belt along up Clunker payments to dealers; maybe that will succour them target.
On top of everything else, consumers are unsuccessful interest. Some say they’re buying Hummers and Cadillacs with their credits. Well, I kinda scepticism that. Here’s a catalogue of what they’re buying, and you’ll see that Ford makes four out of the top ten, including the top two. Not bad, and I see only two red trucks (and trucks are presumed to be red) on the laundry list.
I want to get a bigger car, I like the idea of a pickup but I only really like the new style Nissan Navaras which are a bit expensive. I test drove an 05 Navara the other day and I did like it, although it didnt have a 'new car' feeling. I saw on the Jeep website today the new Patriot model. I like the look of it and it is a bit more economical aswel (42.2mpg average), and a bit cheaper to insure, especially as I am only 18. Which do you think I should aim for? I havent yet been to see the Jeep Patriot, so I cant really compare them, but if anyone has any opinions, that would be good.
How did I know id get at least 1 anti 4x4 comment. How about speedbumps and potholes? There are plenty of them on English roads, and the benifit of being up higher means you can see over the tops of other cars which is good in traffic as well. And heres something you might not realise, although the cars I mentioned do have 4wd, they also have 2wd which is what most people would be driving around in on the road.
What do you mean by everyone will hate you? Get out a bit more and take notice of how many 4x4's you see on the road. Loads. I think what you meant to say was 'your type' will hate you.
Get a Defender. They are the best fun ever!!

Which is a better car the jeep patriot or the jeep compass?
Thinking about buying one or the other, both base models, and don't need 4X4. Was wondering if anybody knows about both and if the interior room is the same. I am a big guy (6'5", 280lb) so head and leg space are important was wondering which was better.
Definitely the Patriot!
Although I'm not postive on the size, I'm pretty sure it's a TINY bit larger. It is also nicer looking, newer on the market, and more of a man's car.

Is the Jeep Patriot a good car?
Is the Jeep Patriot a good and safe car?
no
Highs: Transmission, unique interior features.
Lows: Acceleration, engine noise, driving position, visibility, front-seat comfort, fit and finish.
Jeep's second small SUV is based on the Jeep Compass and Dodge Caliber, but with a more upright body and more interior space. It uses the same 2.0- and 2.4-liter, four-cylinder engines found in the Caliber, which we found slow and noisy. We got 20 mpg overall with the 2.4-liter engine. Ride and handling are acceptable but not impressive. Interior fit and finish is subpar. Front- and all-wheel-drive versions are available. The Patriot is not designed for serious off-roading but is capable for the occasional trail excursion. An optional off-road package has a hill-descent system and an extra-low gear in the CVT. Five-speed manual and CVT transmissions are offered.
ConsumerReports
owner reviews:
Not the most powerful vehicle in the world. Transmission searches looking for a way to maintain speed.
Had a electrical problem that left us stranded at an ATM. The vehicle would not shift out of park. But they did not put in the manual that there is an override on the side of the shift console under a small removable plastic cap.
Armrests are very hard and uncomfortable on long road trips. Small gas tank, 4th gear is pretty much worthless as the ratio is too close to 5th leading to poor acceleration and a lot of 5-3 downshifts in traffic.
No assist to open the hood which can be a problem. The hood is very heavy. Also the gas milage does not reach the EPA estimate. Instead of 22 in the city look for 19 mpg all around.
the center console and the door arm rests are very hard and uncomfortable to your elbows. It is surprising that Jeeps do not come with FOG LIGHTS as standard equipment it will cost almost $400 to have a dealer put them in. The cup holders in front are in a bad location.
Cheap interior finishes of hard plastic. Supplemental front side airbags are hard to find. Manufacturer could have made them standard as they are worth the price ($250) and in my opinion safety features should never be an option.
